Grateful for owning a liberty...

Hi all

I have just found this forum and already I have found it a great help.

May this year I bought an MY07 2.5i manual sedan.
It is so friggin sweet!

Previously I was working for Ford in a dealership and sometimes Subaru here in Adelaide. Unfortunately I was given shitty fords to drive. It made me appreciate Subaru's so much more.
Before I was working there I owned an MY01 Impreza RX wagon which I bought from Brisbane and had sent down to Adelaide. Was the only black one in the country for sale at the time.

But I do want to share my experience I had on the weekend. I was thinking... hmm I wouldn't mind upgrading my car, why not check out BWM. So I went round and look at a couple of different ones, mainly was looking at the 325ci and 330ci. And after driving one of them it really made me appreciate the car I have. Subaru make such a good car.

I am now considering upgrading to GT or 3.0, not sure yet. Hoping this forum will help in me making that decision. I have a couple of months before I do anything but I am wanting either MY07 or 08. Someone suggested I spend a little on making mine a bit faster but after reading these forums most posts say dont bother.

I'm looking forward to spending many lost hours on this forum. See you round :lol:

welcome to the forum mate.... and yes Subarus (esp liberty's) are the ducks nuts :)

go the GT if you go an upgrade, there is a lot more potential power with mods (which you will inevitably start doing - it happens to all of us). First mod though should be a liberty.asn T-shirt- its a guaranteed 5kw ATW right away ;)

cheers

Welcome mate!

GT is the way to go, especially if your into modding.

I've said it before (Why does everyone keep forgetting!? :P) The Liberty Club T-Shirt is best coupled with the Liberty Club Sticker for maximum performance gain... :lol:

Sweet thanks for the advice guys.

I'll be grabbing one of those t-shirts for sure! especially if I'll get an extra 5kw :)

A friend of mine suggested I look at importing a Legacy from Japan. Anyone out there have or hear of any stories relating to this?

Welcome! Hope your search for what you want finds a happy ending.

The only reason why I would import a car from Japan is because it's something that I can't get here. Unless it's the limited edition that will never be released in AUS, the Liberty sent over here is pretty decent. A few JDM mods will fix up any shortcomings.
