    Im sure they do but they are few and far between. There is a guy in USA who has a 2008 model IS-F with 360,000 miles (580,000km) on it, and apart from normal maintenance, its needed only a new radiator and a coolant leak fixed!!

    I agree the current models are pretty ugly. That front end is a love it or hate it type of situation.

    Although I am biased, I think the IS-F is quite a smart looking shape overall. Good mixture of style and aggression.

    The styling is individual thing.

    If you want reliable long lasting engine in the car, get TDI, they don’t have flaws the TSI have.

    Yes i have seen those videos previously - the condition of the internal engine components was quite impressive.

    Bye bye to the Lexus. Sold and now with its new owner in Sydney. Great car but ultimately i wanted a manual and turbo again. Also made the decision to "down grade" in terms of car value as i hardly drive the car anyway and we have the SQ5 for main driving duties. So all I need is a toy.

    Welcome to the 2008 Subaru Liberty GT tuned by STI - a car i have always liked ever since they were first released. Found a one owner 2008 model which was in very good original condition and low km's. Full Subaru service history and no accident damage so hopefully it will turn out to be a good car to own for a few years. The original owner was well into his 50's and loves his cars so it's been well cared for.

    I have always been interested in owning a turbo Subaru to see what they are like....so here goes.
