by her 05 on 13-10-07 09:08 PM Hi all, as the username says it's her (wife) '05, a garden variety Liberty 2.5i MY 05 our first Subaru, she takes delivery tomorrow. The car has about 50k on the dial and looks a clean unit. We're a little past the street machine stage of life but as the brand seems to have somewhat of a cult following I'm looking forward to seeing what our mild subi delivers. |

by Karlos_2.5i on 13-10-07 09:17 PM Congrats on the purchase... U will definitely not be disappointed, comfortable , pretty fuel efficient when driving it nicely and very pleasing to the eye. One thing don't listen to people if they talk about the oil usage being extremely high, its a myth. |

Welcome, you'll love the car. Oil usage a myth? Well, this is what I've seen first hand. http://www.ozliberty.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6310 Really, keep an eye on it, no joke. Don't be deterred but it can happen. |

by befour on 14-10-07 08:58 AM Welcome to the forum dude, not sure why they are even mentioning oil. Every Car can use oil.....and im sure you would have kept an eye on it anyway as you should with any car.

Only mentioned it as it is the number one thing people complain about with gen 4's. Personally never seen oil usage as a problem but cant speak for every1 else, sorry i brought it up.:fool: . But whole heartedly agree should keep an eye out on oil . Again welcome to the forum Great Car you have bought. |

Why's that? I've seen Gen 1, 2 and 3's, EA81 and EA82 cars with 300,000km+ and still on original rings, bearings etc..... Only real problem was the Gen 2's with with 2.5 DOHC motor, headgaskets where pretty common. Has the 50k service been done on the car? If it hasn't, get ready for a $500+ bill. |

by her 05 on 14-10-07 05:32 PM Thanks for the welcome folks, it's an indication that we're traveling in good company. I like the way owners of the earlier Gen cars fly the flag so passionately, makes me feel like starting a project. |
