2002 Subaru Liberty B4 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great high performance touring car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems.
General comments?
When I first took a test drive in the B4, it put a smile on my face. Nothing much has changed, it is a superb car. It is a car that makes me feel good when I drive it.
The car is fast and stable, the brakes and suspension are well matched to the performance.
Good air-con, good visibility and easy to manoeuvre.
The slight pause in power between the first and second turbo, at about 4500rpm has been criticised. I find it quite appealing. Just when most people expect a fall off in performance the B4 takes a breath and goes harder than ever.
It is a fun car and also practical.
The lease expires soon, I will be hard pressed to part with the B4.
