hey guys

im from WA, busselton to be exact... and there isnt any support for subaru or honda down here.. its just me! lol

you will have to forgive the millions of questions i probably will ask... i am never content to take a car for granted... i must know how it all works and how i can improve it!! lol

im looking to buy a Liberty RX at the moment as a work/get around car but long term me and the missus want to get a WRX wagon

i used to drive a Honda Integra VTI-R and man the vtec was awsome... spent soo much $$$$ on that car, so clean and nice, and some idiot smashes into me... i loose the car and spend 6 months in a wheelchair... and the last 6months learning to walk properly again...

my mate has an 02 WRX and his car is one of the only cars i really felt safe in again, (the only thing i can think of that i didnt like compared to my honda was a bit of body role in sharp corners but i think a strut brace kit should fix that)... so i started looking into subarus... very very nice cars... the WRX is a great package, after doing alot of research etc and tossing up between the 02-03 WRX Wagon / B4 / RX Liberty - or wagon / Outback etc i am starting to settle on the RX liberty as a means to get around until i can work out our investment finances etc to be able to affor the WRX

i was very attracted to the liberty because it offeres a low/medium powered vehicle with enough torque and better load capabilities as the honda, that has a very high safety rating, is 4 door not another coupe, and with the right modifications will have the nice boxer rumble

that brings me to the other main reason why i like subarus... with the honda i had u would have to rev it up to 8000rpm (vtec kiks in at 6500rpm than rev limit at 9000rpm) but in doing so the car would end up going fairly fast, now i like to drive nice sounding and comfortable well handeling sporty cars but i dont like going fast... the boxer rumble on the other hand gives me a way to be satified with the sound and the AWD gives me the nice drive all without having to thrash the car or speed, great cruiser that isnt a heavy boat like a ford or a holden - another honda trait passed over ... light wieghting the car and having razor response and handeling and after riding in a few subarus now they have a very nice feel about them

from the research i have done the outback and liberty are almost exaclty the same (gen 3's) but i much prefer the sedan RX over the outback and finding an RX wagon is impossible (do they even exist? lol)

sorry for such alot of writing lol

look forward to sharing with you all!
