[Just_a_stocker]

Nope I dont mean libertys either, I mean WRX with the wing and bonnet scoop.

stock? not that quick

[f1tzy]

stock? not that quick

but with a little coin they are really quick and they get off the line like nothing youve seen before

[padrickz88]

yeah they are getting popular down here in melbourne but no where near as much as commodores.....

and they are not a really quick car off the line... VERY peaky.... the ones ive drove (bug eye) are not that quick just driving like a granny but if you go over 3000rpm it pushes you in your set all the way upto redline... very nice cars

[azkwazere]

add coin to anything and ill move.... just how much...

Yeah there a nice car... not my style but meh...

Very popular and there are heaps around.

aZk.

[evil_monkey]

I thought about a WRX STi when I was shopping around for a new car. When it came down to the E-Series Clubsport R8 or the WRX STi they were around the same price to buy. When it came to insurance though, WOA!!! The WRX STi cost over $3000 almost every quote I got. Whereas the Clubby costs me just $1500.

(that's a 28 male, maximum no claim for life, insurance value of $65,000)

WRX's certainly are bang for your buck but insurance is a killer!

Happy I went with the Clubby though. I think I would have gotten over the size of the WRX pretty quickly.

thats why you take off with at least 3500rpm

I can't beleive how people can afford the insurance. I've got rating one for life, live in a low crime area, over 25. For a 10 year old wrx I would have had to pay 1k+ insurance.

What soughta Skyline she talking here...

GTR = No way..
GTT = Would beat the R32 and R33 GTT's (RB20, RB25 with 187kw).

I doubt a rex would be as quick as an R34 GTT...

[Astranomical]

There's a reason I call them the "new Hyundai Excel"....

I often think that maybe its Excel drivers that are starting to be able to afford a better car, lol.

well maybe they just feel quicker...

it was my gf after all, she would only be guessing, but she probably drove a modded one.

Thats sounds Familar that would be just about same insurance cost for MItz Evo

Haha, They're gettin' like a***holes, every c**ts got one!

I work at a Subaru Dealership and got to say, there's a bunch of them around. I could easily live with one if I had the money, they're not a bad car. But I've got more of a soft spot for the old low spoiler, '99-'00 models, they're the lightest and most agile ones. They're a surprisingly strong car too, in stock form they're close to bulletproof.

[mickaitken]

It's because there such a reliable car though I guess? I don't see why you would get many problem's with them. Good safe family car, the Liberty anyway. My best mate's parents have one and they will not do a burnout, no matter what. They only way to lock up the wheels is to pull the handbrake, very safe car's.

[bezz]

apparently the gearbox is prone to problems on the earlier ones... probably due to the thrashing they would get on a day to day basis. The boxer engine is unbreakable tho.
