"Great value car from Subaru"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Not much, replaced original clutch.

Fog light globe needed replacing.

General comments?

Great Value for money car! Australian delivered Liberty RS Turbo. A fairly sedate looking reliable car, with performance to go.

Great 0 - 100 time for a stock car, easily the best handling car I've owned.

Car has been kept in it's original mint condition - no mods for reliability sake

1 downside would be, hopeless up large hills.. little bit gutless, found I had to change down a gear or 2.

Still a well made worthy investment.

The review has obviously hit a raw nerve.. the lag in these cars stinks.. worth modding though... these cars are really stating to look their age too.

Well...

I have owned an RS for the past 12 years. I have changed the clutch once, had two fuel pumps and replaced the timing belts every 100,000 as a precaution. At 200,000k I decided to change the plugs, not that there was a problem, I just thought 200,000k was a good run for a set of plugs.

The car has now done over 250,000k and still drives like new. The suspension is still firm and tight, and the car is still a pleasure to drive. Turbo lag is not an issue, but it maybe for someone who does not have the skill to drive a car that generates its best power over 3000rpm.

This is a drivers car! It is well behaved and the front/rear break bias is well balanced. Power steering and power brakes have the right amount of feel, and the seats are comfortable, but still firm enough for an enthusiast.

The only criticisms I would have is that the headlights are not particularly efficient, and yes it has the lifter tapping noise occasionally.

A great car!!!
