Just out of interest LUD02C, was this a Japanese grey (private) import? Or an STI sold by Subaru australia? If its the latter then that is the reason it has the security - it was added by Subaru when it was imported. If it was an import, then thats pretty amazing.
The imported skylines/soarers/etc that i have been in never had anything more than a standard immobiliser (disabled by using the key in ignition). Some had remote central locking, but thats it (almost all of them had aftermarket alarms added when they were imported though). The reason is that cars hardly ever get stolen over there...
If you ever go to Japan, you'd be amazed at how safe you feel. I dropped my wallet with AUD$1500 in it (in Yen) in one of the busiest places in tokyo (Hachiko in Shibuya for those who know), and sure enough, it turned up at the closest police station shortly later with all the money still in it. Try that ANYWHERE in australia :)

It's still an auto and the ability to change the gears yourself will provide very little benefits in terms of performance. I'm guessing the fact that it's 5 speed auto helps more than anything, or is 5th gear in auto gearbox more for overdrive?
with all due respect, I think you are the only one here that is not satisfied with your euro, which is technically not yours anyway :D

It sounds like your dad is only letting you drive HIS car to me.
You should be happy to drive such a classy car. Base model lexus is200's cost about $55k new, and are not half the car of the euro. Very shitty power, crappy interior and not half the features. It took for ever to get to 100kms/h. I have a euro manual and I wouldn't swap it for the world (well maybe for a NSX).
I wanted to get a Subaru Liberty GT, (very classy WRX) but the Girlfriend hates them. After that, I had my heart set on an Integra type R but, I am not paying over $50k for a piece of shit they are trying to pass off as a type R. This left me with the Accord Euro. I just wish they had released / will release the Euro R model. I will have to trade for it straight away :D
hear hear to that
yeh i agree, with you type r positive. Liberty GT is a very fast car. 0-100 in 4.8 seconds manual, 0-100 in 6 seconds for auto. But after thinking a while, i do enjoy the euro when i drive it. Its got awesome handling and the acceleration aint bad. Its no sports car but it goes when we push the peddle down. btw my euro is the same colour as yours. And just a little question, i have read on many websites the honda engines get faster over time. So if we drive it like 50 000 kms, will be able to use euro as a rocket on the road :P or is it just a very minor difference not noticable? And about it being my dads car, well my dad owns a landcruiser v8 gxl, he travels long distances all the time, when he noticed the euro has fuel economy is like of a toyota echo he pretty much uses it all the time and has locked his landcruiser up in the garage. It drinks 24 litres of petrol in 100 km around city and 15 litres on the highway in 100 km. The car is mine but i let my dad use it because im still on my Ls. Hes planning on selling his cruiser for a good luxury four wheel drive, and when i get my Ps the cars all mine. Whats a good v6 luxury four wheel drive? not an mdx because i have read about it and its one of hondas not soo good cars.
Honda's gain a few kw as they free up. This is very noticable, if you compare between stock cars, one 0kms and one 50,000kms. You may notice it that much because it is you who puts the kms on the dial. You are used to it as it increases in power.
As for a luxury 4wd. It just depends how much money you want to spend. you cannot beat the nissan patrol's for the money, just get the Ti or the ST-L model with the leather interior. (I live in a mining town, hence I know heaps about 4wd's) You won't find a more reliable car than the Toyota's, as you know because your dad owns the GXL. The Prado's have stuff all room.
Make sure you check out the Mitsubishi Pajero's. They are a real great car.
I don't know much about city 4wd's, the BMW's look good. I don't think that there is too much wrong about the MDX except the price. Don't even think about a holden or ford.
Stay away from anything American. Total buckets of shite. Stick to Japanese, the european ones are a waste of cash.
Stick to the GXL mate, you can't go wrong. You can supercharge them and get 350kw+ very easily. TRD even makes a kit for them. Check out www.capa.com.au they have heaps of supercharger kits for everything including JACKSON RACING for everyone else that might be intereted!
mmmmm, supercharged Integra type R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
