I managed to limp the car down from the Blue Mountains back to Western Sydney with a cracked big end bearing and warped block so it wasn't too bad. The car ran, badly but it was running. It could have been a lot, lot worse. I'd accidentally locked my keys in the car and needed to get the NRMA up...

The check engine light came on? Odd that it didn't set off the airbag light instead. I know if there's a catastrophic engine failure, ALL the lights in the dash will flash and boost will be cut to next to naught. The engine light itself is pretty redundant in the 4th gen. The MAF sensor...

Re: P Plate Legal WRX? EJ series engines last forever if looked after but I find they're very finicky about services and oil. Miss an oil change, have dirty filter or faulty sensor and they'll let you know how unhappy they are. My EJ255 was misfiring a few weeks ago from a dirty MAF sensor and...

Re: P Plate Legal WRX? Ah that's a shame, I've given over to the idea of rolling maintenance. Just fix it as it breaks and there'll always be something in rough shape. My old brake discs got cooked so I upgraded to 2 piece slotted and now have to fix a slow oil leak from what I suspect is the...

Re: P Plate Legal WRX? Which is far from slow to begin with, a bicycle would beat that Kia around a circuit ;)

If you're gonna troll, at least make it clever and entertaining...

Splitter.

I went from a 2008 NA to a 2007 turbo and my running costs practically doubled.

You do. Seems like a fairly significant issue to me. Privacy and confidentiality. makes up a very large part of a doctor's job.

Erm no. For one thing teaching hospitals are usually full of med students so the chance you'll get shadowing a medical team is close to zero, those spots are reserved for student doctors. Showing up uninvited will mean that you'll be bounced to a NUM who'll probably ask you to make a formal...

What most people here haven't considered is that while you CAN buy some of these cars cheaply, the servicing costs or simple the cost of bringing the car back up to scratch can easily run you into another 30% or 40% of your purchase price. Unless you simply don't care that you're driving a...

If you've driven one you wouldn't rubbish it so quickly.

Really fast in TT guise but unless you do significant chassis/suspension work they're not much cop to drive around corners.

I think it just looks awkward, a bit like a Lexus GS and without the classic sporting proportions of the previous generations. The wheels are disproportionately tiny and the rear seems massive compared to the front like the car has an obesity problem and doesn't like exercising. Not very fitting...

It's a shame I hate the way the 5th gen looks.

Yeah, something only Liberty owners will understand. The blind spots are massive and I have practically zero rearward visibility. The turning circle on my tb STI is immense as well, much worse than my old 2.5i. For those tradeoffs, you get a cramped interior for it's size and a boot that isn't...

Scratch practical but yeah the Liberty is a daily although I've mostly been commuting in the Swift these days since street parking is difficult get where I'm going.

Or whatever the latest Caterham happens to be and...I'm sure I've posted this here enough times.

That's staying in my garage ;)

Might get one next year shopping it against the 86.
