My brother grabbed a liberty the other week, i'm not sure of the year but it was late 2000's. Probably a 2006. 2.5L motor and has the auto.
Its a nice looking car, nice interior too, but its absolutely gutless and its not exactly what you'd call frugal. We took it down to the NSW central cost from QLD over the week and we averaged roughly 9L/100km down the whole way. And I could not believe just how slow it is. It really struggles in power. I find this with alot of smaller cars, people say larger cars like a modern direct injection commodore or a 6 speed 4L falcon use heaps more fuel, but I have to wonder if its to do with perception and nothing to do with actual real world results. Because a Falcon can easily use 9L/100km if you drive it nicely, any car with a decent sized 4 pot is going to use close to that, ie a lancer, subaru etc. While they usually have no power to go with it. I just don't get the hate on big car fuel economy? |
