Hey guys, found yall on google and thought I would join.

Been wanting to buy a Subaru Liberty 2003-2007 for a while now, but could never really afford it.Finally saved up some money and think I will be getting one soon woop woop!

Anyways, reason I posted was to hear some of your thoughts on MY04-MY08's. I understand that it isn't a race car but I've just liked the way it looks for a while and got tired of my 2005 Hyundai Elantra which I got as my first car (manual too, so wanted to get some experience with manual before buying a more expensive car). What are some pros and cons? If I do buy one, all I would want to modify at the start is get new alloys and lower it. Maybe a new head unit which from videos is a bit of a struggle to install, but I'll deal with that haha.

Not super into the car world but owning an Elantra doesn't quite give you that opportunity plus just looking for something new to dedicate my time to :).

So yeah, give me some pros and cons if you could about owning one (from experience)!!

Thanks guys

pros: best car ever at what it is (which is an affordable semi-luxury sports sedan/wagon)

cons: occasionally explodes.

but you know.. swings and roundabouts.

Any differences between MY04-08? Apart from lights/bumpers (ie visual)? Are they the same thing inside?

for the GT:
pre-fl is EJ20X/Y, 2.0L dual AVCS, twin scroll turbo VF38/TD04HLA Manual is a 5SP


post-FL is EJ255, 2.5L single AVCS, single scroll VF46 manual is a 6SP (much stronger).

Inside is different, but very similar. Post-FL has SI-drive which isn't really a deal breaker, but some people like it.
