1991 Subaru Liberty GX review from Australia and New Zealand
"371,000 km and still goes like a rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension squeaks over bumps.
Tape player has given up, but radio still works and the speakers are good.
Left rear door doesn't lock with the central locking.
General comments?
This car is excellent. It has done almost 372,000km and is in fabulous condition. Many of the kilometers seem to have been done in the country judging by the service manual.
The car performs faultlessly.
It has enough power to spin the front wheels with less than half the accelerator travel! It is quite economical (about 10L/100km) and very easy to drive and park.
The drivers seat is beginning to wear out, but it is still remarkably comfortable and very adjustable. The car is well equipped even by today's standards, with cruise, A/C (very cold), electric window and mirrors, etc.
Overall it is a brilliant car with superb build quality, as it has lasted this many km on the original engine and transmission with nothing falling off!
