Hi Guys,
new too the forum an was just wondering if you could give me a bit of help with the choice I making..
Ok at the moment my ride is a Black 2003 BA XR8 ute....
But I'm over it, sick of the bad handling an the bad turning circle, and its auto an I'm just plain sick of auto it drives me nuts..
I'm looking at buying a Subaru....
My choice was out of a Forester, liberty and of course a wrx..
I've lowered my search down to either a 05 my06 3.0RB Liberty manual sedan or a 05 wrx...
The Foresters out due to the other night when my mates mums was beatin by a toyota ppl mover..
So yeah would love your feedback on what you guys think:-)

mate what exactly do you want out of the car?

WRX - 'sporty' sedan
Liberty - a nice awd wagoon
forrester - different once again...

^They are all good cars at what they're meant to do/be... what BrennyV said haha...

Personal choice for me, would be the Liberty, as I'm a wagon man but having said that, I think I prefer the Outbacks over the Libertys anyhoo...

Depends your taste, you seem that you like power, So go for WRX.
If you want nice easy ride not "sporty" or power but H6 will do the job - get Liberty.
Forester is good for off road if you intend on going offroad.

For me, I would go for Outback rather Liberty.
Cheers

libertys come in sedans too

sure the H6 liberty wont be as quick as your falcon, but it will out handle it. Especially if you get the RB with bilstein suspension. I can say they handle well cos my old man has one

180kw gives it plenty of poke, and they are nice and economical.

you will notice the build quality of the subi's instantly. They shit all over the fords/holdens and what have you.

take afew for a drive, thats your best bet.

Cheer Alex thats what I wanted to hear..
I'm over the crap build quality of Holden and ford I've had enough of em to know that..
Plus the shit handling, givin it shit round corners wondering when ya gonna slide into a tree or something..
I've bin told by a few mates and my uncle to go the Liberty cause of the little extra like sun roof, leather an the sti 6spd...
I want something that is gonna handle good and move when I want it...
I'm going to take a few wrx, and Libertys out for a test drive..
I was just askin for a few opinion since I don't really know much bout the subject
