1992 Subaru Liberty GX 4WD Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand

The previous owners changed the costly original height adjustable suspension for normal suspension, as well as changing CV joints and the oil pump.

As the original owner was an elderly person who did very few kilometers, but mostly short trips, the second owner replaced the exhaust pipe.

The window tinting is beginning to peel around the edges on 2 doors.

Gold metallic paint looks superb, but has a few scratches from unsympathetic car parks.

Nippy performance and light steering make it a breeze to drive and park in town.

4WD is handy for driving on the beach and for extra grip on the road, but lack of ground clearance means it's no rock hopper off road, though a lift kit or the original hight adjustable suspension would fix that.

Handles brilliantly, goes where you point it almost regardless of speed.

Very comfortable and easy to drive long distances, even fully loaded with 4 people and luggage for a week thanks to powerful engine, cruise control, comfy, roomy seats and a huge boot. Ample power for easy overtaking.

Quiet except for wind rush around the left front pillar due to seals shrinking with age.

Exceptional air-conditioning easily copes even with 40˚C + days.

Economy 8-9L per 100km in the country, 11-12L per 100km in the city.

Dashboard update in 1992 looks cleaner and more modern.

Very good equipment level, everything is standard including: luggage cover, cruise control, air-con, power steer, windows, mirrors, great radio cassette, electric aerial, central locking.
