2007 Liberty Spec B

[bushido]

Has anyone driven either the Liberty Spec B in either 3.0 or 2.5 GT guise? Considering one of these as my next car. Lovely interior, Macintosh audio, xenons, sunroof and decent in the twisties thanks to Bilstein dampers.

Mod-wise the 2.5 ends itself better but they are a few thousand more than the 3.0.

Friend of mine had the 2.5 B, was freakin impressive and pulled like hell.
Nice car, but apparently was a crud to work on.

my parents had the 2.5L turbo.

I would reccommend getting a manual but they had a tip and it was just no fun.

Exhaust was massively restrictive too i think there would be a lot of KW in getting a full one done up.

They had the full macintosh stereo, sounded great comes with a sub in the parcel tray. Leather seats were nice, absolutely dead silent inside and no road noise. Heaps of room even in the back.

I would reccomend them!

Thats gonna be my next car, wolf in sheeps clothing. That or an R32 Golf.

[bushido]

I have been reading that the exhaust piping goes from 2.25 in from the turbo to 2 in, then splits in 1.75 in before going into the mufflers as 2.25 in.

If I do get one it will defs be manual and one of the first things will be a turbo back exhaust and drop in panel filter + tune. =)

R32 golf for sure, they're f**king awesome!

this...

was considering buying one actually

[AJ]

Isn't the Golf R better than the 32?

IMO the R32 MK1 is the better looking out of the 32's.

[bushido]

got three cars im checking out this weekend when i come back home.

1. 07 Liberty GT Spec B with cusco rear sway bar, dump pipe and megan racing catback. Has some other interior trinkets.
2. 07 Liberty 3.0 Spec B (STOCK) and only 25 000km
3. 06 Golf GTi (coming off end of its lease ).

Will see how I go!

liberty is nice looking but not that great in twistys, very exp on fuel and not as quick as you think. Reapairs are common and exp as they are a c**t to work on oh and they sound like a big ol fart.

go the golf

[phunkydude]

Push a little higher, go for a used 135i - 3.0l TT

[bushido]

alright from the two libertys Ive seen in the last two days.

1. The 2.5GT is very nice. a little at low revs (0-2500rpm) but it massively pulls when boost kicks in. Playing with the SI drive makes it a little better with sharper throttle response and a nicer exhaust note in S# mode. Also sounds horn with the turboback exhaust. Kind of like a more refined rexxie burble.

2. The 3.0 I tried today was a little boring in comparison.

3. Checking out the golf tomorrow!

[bushido]

bought the golf! =) in black!

Couldnt resist the instant torque from its little motor and its so nimble. Feels much more expensive inside than the liberty and its so comfy!

At a steal too!

Awesome! good bye, youll love the short wheelbase and handling of a hatch! any immediate plans?

[bushido]

to read the owners manual and figure out what the various little buttons do. The short wheelbase is very very awesome. I love the leather seats! Perfect for winter since they heat your butt!

And some future mods... dump pipe, APR stage 1 tune to release some extra ponies.
