"women" who buy them are as unshaven as foresters.
Parts here in Philippines are no where to be found. A simple pin bulb for your map light needs to be ordered from Japan. Untill you guys fit up your act on the parts and service issue here, you will never bet Toyota, Honda and the other local brands here. Sure, i do own a Subaru Forester 2008 and would like to buy the 2016 Forester but i guess i do not want to experience the problems of your parts. Good luck.
