1999 Subaru Liberty RX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A nice car that is good on the eyes, performs great and is fuel efficient"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've only had this car for a week, and 2 days after I bought it, the transmission would clunk when changing gears (up and down), accompanied by a jolt and would also be reluctant to shift into 4th.
A quick trip to the dealer saw them top up the transmission fluid and all is well for now.
General comments?
A very nice, comfortable car which is very spacious, easy to adapt to and feels more solid than my old Corolla.
Handles excellent in the wet.
Fuel economy has been about 10lt per 100km, with about 50% inner city/peak hour driving.
The CD player is the only downer as it is only 30W x4 with budget factory speakers.
