Hi all,

I'm a hopeful to be owner of a 3rd gen subaru liberty, i have previously owned a 2005 commodore and before that a runabout ford laser as my first car, i've now been carless for almost a year.
My interests are predominately sport (AFL, NFL are my favourites), music (trance is my main weapon of choice) and am studying at uni.

I haven't had much luck with either of my cars in terms of reliability so i'm hoping to turn things around with a subaru. By far the worst was my commodore but i'll stay out of that one for now

Looking forward to sharing my subaru to-be with you all, just hope i can make it happen with my limited budget.

Cheers!

Welcome.
I drive a Subie because I used to have a commodore. Nuf said. lol

Lol, glad to hear it! Hoping to get into a manual for the first time in my life too, see how it plays out though-they seem hard to come by.

Welcome!! Always good to see another NFL fan on here. As soon as I saw your name, Patriots popped into my head! Best of luck in the search for a car.

Your making the right choice haha! Subaru all the way

[ndlibgt]

Welcome mate, your vehicle history is not dissimilar to mine. Anyhoo you'll definatly make the right choice in terms of reliability with a Subaru.

[brady12]

haha cheers iisshhyy, do you follow a team in particular? Can't wait till the playoffs on sunday, luckily for me i can give my heart a rest until the following week!

As for anyone else, thanks for the welcome!

Welcome!

Depending on who you support in the footy will determine if we can be online friends or not.

Yeah can't wait for playoffs! RDO already booked for Superbowl too haha. Unfortunately for me this year, I'm an Eagles fan.

[brady12]

Haha good move...i thought for sure the eagles would make the playoffs, perhaps the year of bonding together as a team after so many changes is necessary before success?

As for Chris, i'm afraid i am a Collingwood fan which automatically makes me the enemy of probably most people on the board

[iisshhyy]

Well after spending 16 odd million in the offseason, the whole world thought Philadelphia would make the playoffs! No pre season didnt help & trying to introduce 5 or so big name players into a new team & under a first year new DC, there was always bound to be problems. Coaching changes have big impact full stop, eg. Kansas City.

PS GO BOMBERS!!!!!

So i ended up buying a 2003 liberty rx special edition, 113xxxkm and auto. Gotta say, i'm very happy with it It really is a much more refined and better made vehicle than your commodores and falcons.
The only thing i want to do with it is sound system. Just wanted to ask, has anyone kept the stock speakers and hooked them up to an amp? I ask because I'm hoping that i can get away with putting in a sub, amp and double din head unit and leave the speakers (at least for the time being) to save some money. Any thoughts? Thanks guys! Pictures will come in time, have to give it a good wash first
