Bought a 2011 year subaru liberty wagon, start hearing cracking noise from front and rear, squeaky noise from windows, dealer fixed windows issues after I reported, but never be able to fix cracking noise completely, I can still hear it from rear of the car. Guess what, the front cracking noise is because the weldered joint was broken. what a joke. hope the car won't fall apart when I drive, 1 years passed, contact Subaru Australia, no answer yet. its not your baby, do you care?
Comfortable to drive
Defect parts or weldered joints used inside the car, cracking noise not completely fixed after a year

A very nice pice of work, known as the Japanese BMW which says a lot. The new stronger 2.5l engine has a nice exhaust note. Pity Subaru hasnt mated the engine with a 5 speed auto, it needs it. Passenger seat does not lift, my wife is short and she cont see over the bulkhead
Great driving car, well built very safe and just the right size now that the kids have gone. Love the 6-disc MP3 player
Not much: the ignition key digs holes in my pocket, why does Subaru copy VW and make the key retractible? Why o why a 4-speed autonmatic box?

What a car! I would upgrade but theres no reason to, even with 170,000kms this car looks, smells and almost runs like new. New or used, I highly recommend this car!
2005 2.5i sedan- I have done 170,000kms and it still runs like a dream, have not had to replace anything mechanicaly and fuel consuption is great on the highway, about 8ltrs per 100kms! Smooth handling, hugs the road like nothing else, a very fun but super safe car.
Is expensive to service and repair. Top dash lights have gone completely and the fly wheel in the clutch needs replacing (this was a fault in this model) fabric seats mark easily but clean well. Not much leg room in the back.

My review is specifically for the 3.0 RB. This is a fabulous vehicle, with strong smooth engine, close ratio STI 6 speed manual gearbox. For a performance vehicle, it was surprisingly easy on both brakes and tyres. Sadly paint isn't a Subaru strong point and after 4 years the paint looked a little tired. Superb Air cond ( even on a black car), great opitronic instruments ..... It could have been an amazing car, with better steering feel, and split fold rear seat.
Strong Passive and Active Safety, Turbine like flat 6, Firm Bilstein suspension, outstanding Mcintosh Stereo, Great Airconditioning
Paint doesn't wear well, no rear folding seat, steering feel worse than the best europeans, poor fuel economy, Subaru dealers

Great value for money, luxury car with the sport performance is something I was looking for a long time. Leather interior and slick exterior completes the image of the car. Tuned by STI (Subaru Tecnica International) makes the ride externally pleasant on any road in any weather condition. Strongly recommend Subaru Liberty GT 2.0 - the best car on market in that price range!
Extremely comfortable, luxury interior, slick exterior, great performance of Turbo engine.
Didn't find any!

This is my second Turbo Subaru and my first Liberty. It is very functional, stylish, safe, has unbelievable grip in wet. Dont bother with cumbersome SUV's as they are not as safe and general handling is cumbersome and poor, would recommend this to anyone as the no.1 pick for a mid-size wagon or a gfor rowing family.
Liberty 2.5GT: Build Quality, Stereo, Handling, Massive Sunroof, Style, Chassis Grip, Safety, Engine Performance great when revved -Almost everything.
Needs more mid range power,better economy and better paint quality.

This was the second Liberty I owned. I think they are a great car, particularly any model with the leather seats. Resale value has been stellar. I would have bought again but don't like the new styling.
Styling, fit and finish, resale
Engine (weak), pricing

We've had our 2007 Liberty for 6 months and we're really happy with it. The 2007 update gave the interior a nicer finish and we really like the look of the car. I'd probably go for the 2.5 if I had my time again, the auto transmission holds first gear too long to get the most revs out of the engine and I reckon the 2.5 would have a bit more pull, but we don't regret buying a Liberty at all.
Looks great, drives well, big cargo area, nice interior
Auto transmission doesn't match well to the 2 litre engine. Could have more legroom in the rear seat.

This is a great car. You would have to spend at least another $30K to match anything like the 3.0RB in performance and luxury. The 6 speed manual is fun to drive - even in traffic. Insurance is a lot cheaper than the GT. You would not be dissapointed.
Performance, handling, comfort, quality, styling - everything.
Small Boot (Sedan) and there is no fold down/split rear seat.

Great car. Go and take one for a test drive and you will be impressed. It is really good on fuel too.
Very stylish, smooth ride, interior is comfortable and looks great. Is a wonderful family car and the boot fits a pram and you still have a lot of room for shopping, etc. I was a bit hesitant about buying the car because of servicing costs and the like, but I was wrong, it is well worth buying and we love our Subaru. We love the leather interior and the drivers seat is electronic with 2 positions in memory. This comes in handy. I'd highly recommend buying this car. We love ours.
Would have liked bluetooth connectivity as standard.

We have a boxer dog which we harness in the back we also have a young son in a baby seat in the back and there is still plenty of room for day to day storage. Generally we are really happy with this car we have had it for about 15 months this is a very comfortable and stable car.
Liberty 3.0R Spec.B: Good pick up, comfortable, good stereo, plenty space in the back for storage, nice sunroof, very easy to drive, corners very well or holds the road well. This is a great car. In this market range this was the best value for the money, we bought it from Subaru Docklands during one of there big sales - that was worth waiting for.
No memory set seats and mirrors but generally a very good car.

i thought it was a really fun car to drive, the AWD makes cornering fun when taken at speed, the manual gearbox seems to give it a little kick as well. once i worked out the radio system it was quite good sound
Stylish, smooth, handles well, good acceleration, cool interior

The engine provides a quiet yet powerful ride.
The exterior makes for an attractive look, while the interior is spacious, refined and gives you the comfort you need.
The gear-shift is quite unique, as you try to master it everytime you drive it.
The most impressive feature of this car is that driving in this car ensures a smooth ride, from point A to point B.
A nice car that provides all that you want in a car.
A smooth ride, with all the comfort, safety and luxury of a nice car.
The gear-shift takes a while to get used to.
