New Manaro/GTO sucks! (story)

[GTO]

Went with my brother today to the dealership. He’s into muscle cars and me
rally type cars. So we went to the dealership today to have a look since he
wants a new car later this year.

Got to say, God were we unimpressed and my brother loves the Manaro. I
couldn’t believe it, how crappy the build quality was. This was after we went to the Subaru dealership and I recommend the Liberty(legacy) 3.0-R B Spec and GT. He doesn't get excited by Subarus, fair enough since he likes muscle cars.

After being molested by Holden car salesman, only left us alone when I said
we wanted to turn it into a track car so he can have a chance to beat my
stock WRX. lol

Immediate faults we saw, in the show room!
-Roof way too low, we aren’t that that tall but we only had 2’’ of
headspace, anyone over 6 feet can’t fit into the car.

-Door rail/roof, way to close to your head, it was 1’’ away from my head, a
sharp turn and you’ll get a nasty smack to the head.

-Boot, to meet American safety requirements the put the fuel tank in the
boot! Less than 50cm depth. And the fuel tank has some REALLY cheap covering that was coming off, it looked like a really badly built 12’’ sub box was put in there, not flat, just a cheap stick on covering in a weird shape?!
The Liberty wagon space is like a flat bed ute of space in comparison + a
luxary cabin!

-Speaker wiring in the boot, because of the weird shape tank you can see
exposed cable.

-Boot hinge, come off, so that the boot closes off axis and squeaks.

-Accelerator pedal, it swivels up and down, so when you tap the gas a little
at the bottom or top of the pedal all you do is move the pedal.

-Intierior quality, the seats are ok but compared the Subaru Liberty
premium, like comparing the Holden to a new BMW or Benz!

Now we didn’t even turn on the car and drive it yet, I shudder to think what
is badly designed mechanically!

At least with the Liberty 3.0R or GT premium, all up $60K, you can see where
the money went, you know you will not be disappointed in any aspect and like my rexy, it will keep surprising you because of how well its built and clever
design.

Small things but for total cost around $70,000 all up for the Manaro, geeeze

I so apprecite my car that much more after this experience!

Proud owner of a Subaru MY03 WRX wagon!
