Purchased an Exiga in February 2009 and it has to be the best car I have ever owned. We are an older couple and certainly appreciate the comfortable seats and arm rests. We chose the Premium Model with GPS and reversing camera, don’t use the GPS much as we do not travel to the major cities much but the reversing camera is great in shopping centres. We live in an area which sees a lot of rain during summer and the AWD is excellent here.I like that the passenger second row doesn’t have a 7th seat as the seats are a bit wider and more comfortable and the seats all fold down to give a valuable amount of room should you need it to transport items. I think this car would be excellent for a family with 4 children and the DVD player would be great for entertainment during trips. Fuel economy is excelent. Overall a great car.

not all of australia is flat and in a desert, some places are actually very wet and have lots of hills.

Hi All, I just bought this car and it is brilliant for a people mover. The room is impressive and so are the features. One of the deciding factors was the ride and handling, especially the third row seat. Our family have tried nearly all the people movers on the market, including the Europeans. We got the thumbs up from my parents, my gangly teenage son and the little ones. What made it different was it did not have wobbliness in that back that could make you carsick. The Exiga handled this excellently with it’s sure-footedness. With it’s huge rear windows that provides natural light and excellent views. All this for half the price of a European. The all wheel drive is a delight, with incredible traction in the wet. At freeway speeds it is a fantastic cruiser with all onboard. With the regards to the second row to turn it into a three seater, I did voice my issue with Subaru. I did find a work around, I contacted a Japanese parts reseller on the Internet who forwarded me the Parts drawings. Had a quick glance, need to spend my time to properly assess this, but it could be done. A consideration is the possible voiding of the manufacturers warranty. All the parts are genuine Subaru. As an earlier response indicated, best to check with your local authorities to before committing and a certifying automotive engineer to be safe.

@Ratdog – I ordered roof bars for my Exiga but before they were fitted I discovered that they are the same old Thule ones that clamp onto the door frame. I cancelled the order, as these only have a 50Kg carrying capacity. What I want is the same kinds fitted to other models – that run the length of the vehicle.

i forgot to point out the reason for picking this car over the better looking odyssey. The car seats which the children under 7 years old have to now sit in, can be connected to the rear of the seat rather than the roof like in the odyssey. This allows you the ability to slide the seat forward without undoing the childseat restraints. A big plus when you want to get kids in and out of the back row of seats.

yes its an ugly car lol
