My wifes 08 Liberty Tuned by Sti was towed this morning with a death rattle from the engine and 2000 kms on the clock.

After my 08 Sti was on its second engine at 3000kms, we are probably the luckiest Subaru family around.

I dont drive the wifes car really (at most 3 times in 4 months she's had it) and she is not an enthusiastic driver. It has not seen a track or anything but inner Perth as it really is an expensive shopping trolley, and an auto.

F....k Graham you are having some real bad luck there! Make sure they send you more than an IPOD this time for the inconvenience.

I'm really starting to question the reliability of 08+ Subaru's now...Hmmm.

Cheers guys

Bruce, I rang Subaru today and mentioned that I am REALLY unhappy.

They are calling me back. We have not been given a loan car as yet.

Biggest problem is her now having to run in another motor - substantially affects the way you drive a car and the driving experience, especially when it took her 3 months to run the first one in.

Sorry to hear - no one who drops that amount of coin on two Subaru's deserves that sort of luck.

Hoping they look after you as they should.

As for luck, a few of us could give you a shake in that department
