An Outback is just a Liberty wagon with a factory suspension lift so same size. Does she need the extra luggage space in the wagon boot? Subarus in general are very nicely trimmed, reliable cars. A Gen 4 with all the trimmings is very nice! :twisted: Yeah I know that lol. I dont think mum needs tha...

Only the 3.0 and 3.6 motors have chains - all the rest of us still have to replace those pesky belts :( Definitely get a transmission oil cooler - and get the biggest / best one you can. And maybe a set of 4 pot front brakes - can buy them 2nd hand for a bout $200 so thats cheap insurance especiall...

Hey mate! Thanks for the info! Sounds like a H6 Liberty will be sweet, the one I've looked at has a towbar rated at 1800kg so should be sweet! Oh and I meant when mum isnt towing she will only be travelling short distances, but its likely that when she tows the caravan it will be interstate, so woul...

Hello guys, Again sorry if I've put this in the wrong section! But not only am I thinking about buying a Subi (yes still, just let me get a job that pays!), but mums thinking of getting one as well. She is looking for a tow-car. She wants to buy a 15 (or less) foot caravan, that will weight around 1...

Easy solution: Do what Hydrowill has done: Get a H6 outback that you like, pull the auto box and install a dual range forester box. Easiest way to get a dual range manual H6 ;) There are some little bits that need to be done wiring wise with the TCU (Transmission Control Unit). Sedan - pfft. Once y...

The autobox in the Outback isn't what I would call "refined" but it's alright. Certainly not as bad as some I've come across, and not as good as a manual for speed. But when stuck in that traffic jam (like I forever seem to be) the Auto is a godsend. ;) As for Sedan vs Wagon... Why are you so fixed...

Hmmm, I did really want a sedan (and a 4 cylinder... and a manual) so beginning to compromise a fair bit, but i will definetly take an outback for a test drive along with a standard liberty. the standard liberty may prove to be perfectly fine, i wouldnt know cos i havent driven one yet haha. i find ...

Yes - well not overly difficult but you have to ut a B4 twin turbo motor in it to make it as easy as possible and the wiring would still be a concern. No - nothing that would be cost effective and give you a decent upgrade. Is the 3.0L H6 P plate friendly ? That might be your best bet - heaps of po...

Haha if only they had Outback sedans :D Mum and I had a little chat. The Eunos is definately going. Consider that as for sale lol. But we think a better idea, is to wait til Im off my P's and buy a Turbo Subie. And then I can have a car that is absolutely brilliant at everything and keep that. But t...

@Niterida: Thanks for the info on the suspension, that sounds all like stuff I can get! Maybe Ill just take it to a suspension shop and get all of this done there instead of DIYing. I can afford a Gen 4 (just, with probably a bit of negotiating) but only like the base base model, and Id rather a Gen...

Thanks everyone for your response! :) @Steptoe: I do a mix of freeway and city driving and I rack up around 20,000kays a year, maybe even more, so I need a car that is good at both. Problem with a 6 or 8 is despite their amazing economy on the highway, they drink it in the city. But the 4 cyl sube s...

Hello everyone, My names Jeremy and Im from Melbourne. I've been thinking recently about selling my babies (I own two cars, a Mazda Eunos 500 and a Ford Telstar) and purchasing a Subaru. I would like to purchase a third generation Subaru Liberty, and I would like one that is fully loaded to be hones...
