My colleague bought one. His previous car was a Myvi 1.3L. He says the X70 is sluggish, not very responsive. I sat in the car for a full 7 seconds, the ingress/egress is very nice. The top spec brown leather is also quite nice. But I was only there for 7 seconds.
ask him to drive the old mini cooper to be more responsive and nimble than the myvi... lol

I drove my Chery SUV which is smaller and less power than my forester, but I feel the Chery is more nippy and agile, feels it is faster too, as the forester is huge and running CVT......lol
My turbo sampan FEELS more responsive than the cruise ship. Cause damn loud and the gearshift is slow and when it engages you feel a kick. Haha I still have more fun in the sampan. Cause can drive a slow car fast.

Why only 7 sec?

Anyway its a good car overall.Just that it compete in a small market segment.
I think the X50 should make more sense in MY market.
Cause me and my friend were drivers to Genting fetching friends. Stopped to unload some luggage from my car to his, so I got off and jump in his car.

Oh I felt the leather seat was quite quality too. As in the feel and cushion support.

I need some help and guide here. I notice that the FLX RPM meter is lagging on each gear shift.

Example:

3rd gear up to 4th gear. When shifting from 3rd to 4th not matter how I shift after when I'm in 4th gear and already on throttle the RPM still drops before gaining back. This makes the RPM reading not accurate. Now before asking me to fix another tachometer (which will be my last resort) I want to know why 1st? why the lag? I'm thinking that the RPM meter on the FLX is reading signal...
