very well priced for the performance and looks of the car (well over here anyway:grin:)..

I bought my first subaru, an '88 L series Touring Wagon at a caryard my ex-girlfriend's father owned, after he gave me a 1988 Nissan Pulsar SSS, and the gearbox died after a day's use...(I wasn't even fanging it!!)  He went on holidays, and I ran his caryard. I only ever sold one car

It was on his yard for $5500. I managed to haggle myself down to $2000! When he returned, he wasn't impressed

I only intended to buy it as a parts runabout for the BMW I had. Also, the odd fishing trip and fang around.

I must honestly say, it was the most fun car I have owned besides my current ride. Although I spent an additional $8000+ on modifications alone, it was my daily ride, and survived even the most ridiculous stunts I had thrown at it.

Then, due to personal reasons, I decided to sell up and I was ready to move overseas for a few years. I then started to date my current fiance, and I decided to buy a car again. I wanted to buy an RS Liberty wagon, but out of frustration after looking at a few horrible examples, I decided to up the ante, and started to look at import Legacy wagons.

Then I bought my current one. One year later, I'm loving it more and more. The mods list, despite my swearing to my fiance, that it would never happened, it has. :blush2:

For me, it started with my parents buying an Outback in 1999 after looking for a new car - they were oh so close to getting a Commodore station wagon until they test drove the Outback.

I then bought a 2001 Liberty as my first car, my Mum then got a 2003 WRX and my Dad has recently upgraded to an MY07 Outback.

So for us, we just seem to keep getting Subaru's.. I think after owning the first Outback, nothing else really seems to compare in terms of drivability,  ride, comfort, build quality and value for money when you look at that price bracket.

I've said this to a few people before, but when my Dad decided to get a newer car, he didn't even look at any other make, it was simply a case of what Subaru had out at the moment.. Whether that's good orbad, I don't know - But I've got nothing bad to say about their cars!

Jonno :bye:

well it worked , you sure showed that salesman,
Yay Im now a wannabe turbo LOL

Fell in love with a 98 Subaru Impreza GX when I was looking for my second car (First was an XE falcon my dad bought for me. Which I would honestly take back any day!). Hammered the absolute crap out of the Impreza and it never missed a beat.

Sold it due to DUI. Bought an Imported 1989 Toyota Corsa which I promptly blew up (boost controller fell off:) ) but I had the taste for boost!.

Saw a Liberty B4 for sale in Kal (very rare things here) and decided just to look. Fell in love when I hopped in. Then the guy throws me the keys and says "go for a spin" and that was it. Without any cash or even knowing if I would get loaned the money, I told him I'd buy it. Luckily I got the loan! Who knows what I would have done to get the money.

And I've never looked back. Every car from now on will be a Subaru. Im hooked!

Liked the B4 since it was announced to be released here in Aus and tried to convince my parents to buy one but they didn't. Fast forward a few years I wanted something that still had warranty, was sleeper, was quick and cheap insurance. B4 ticked all the boxes.

I drove a mates WRX a few times (I'd been driving a Landcruiser for 6 yrs) I'd had V8's & fast 4's but nothing like this, so 3 yrs ago I bought a damaged Impreza to do a conversion on but it was too good a car (10yo GX with 47k on the clock) so after fixing it I made a 6g profit, decided I'd do a Liberty instead after learning i bit more about Subi's (the car I have now which is my keeper) & since then I've bought & sold a few & have 3 more in my driveway waiting to be finished, it can be quite profitable.
So in3 yrs I've had
94 Impreza, fixed & sold
98 Liberty, Keeper.
91 Legacy wagon, spare & loan car for 2 yrs, fixed & sold
96 Liberty LX sedan, fixed & sold, ex g/f's
98 Impreza hatch, fixed & sold
97 STI hatch for parts
98 WRX for parts (bent in half)
95 WRX Hatch, the two above were for fixing this, unfinished project (haven't touched it in 2 yrs) prolly jack it up & use as an offroader, it will look like a JDM MY00 STI.
99 WRX bought for ex g/f, fixed & sold
96 Impreza GX hatch, should be finished within 2 weeks, let my son use it for a while then sell it.
01 WRX Bug Eye, undecided but should be back on the road within 3 weeks.
My son has had 2 Leone's & two RS's
My daughter has had a Leone & just bought a 00 Ltd edition WRX with leather etc, she was actually the first in the family to have a Subi....7yrs ago.

Hmmm I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I had got a V8 which I had wanted since I could talk....... would have saved a lot of money and had a lot of power

i like subarus due to great value, look slick, very pleasurable to drive and i love the boxer rumble

I love the Boxer engine even though I have dramas.... I like subaru's probably always will... but everytime an SS drives past that has a decent exhaust system on it OMG...not much can compare, its ear pornography. Plus I love the fact that there is mountain moving torque available from idle, I cant say the same for the B4...its hopeless for torque.. all that said I still love my B4

The Subaru was the best pick i had:

5 speed V6 VS Comodore
98 WRX (yeah.... insurance would love me long time.......)
98 GX Liberty, it goes alright. Cant complain about a 4 cylinder that can get about like the Ej's.
But i sooo wish i had a HQ 308 Monaro right about now!

i wanted performance with luxury, originally wanted an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro but they were just out of my price range and had too many kays. Plus nothing beats the Boxer rumble:new_russi
