    Looks like it’s not a vehicle to use in Nairobi. Subaru Kenya say that they do not sell them locally because of the quality of diesel. :(

    The petrol ones… hmm fuel economy now would be a trickier thing. Now off to check out the Audi Allroad

    @mag Unfortunately not. my comment #2 – I mailed subaru kenya and they say that Fuji heavy industries (makers of Subaru) are very strict about which markets they sell and the fuel quality, which in our case is apparently not good enough I think the car needs ULSD – Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel) while what is available locally is LSD. I guess they don’t want to gain a bad reputation. ULSD I think should be available locally in the next few years as most 2nd hand imported car diesels especially from Europe would need that. fuel
