well, i suppose not absolutely, but it helps with the insurance premiums...
Drove the RX liberty yesterday, and it's not too bad. Performance wise though, it's a big of a dog...
Handles well enough in the dry, i'm told the AWD makes a huge difference in the wet.
- brakes were touchy as hell, you cover them really lightly and you're thrown forward a bit in your seat. Very good when you plant the bluntstone on the middle pedal, but i dunno if I like it.
talking to the sales dude (he helps build rally WRXes for some indy group or so he says) the exhausts on the libertys are all really restrictive - a good system will add about 10kw to it for next to nothing.
but the engine - 2.5 litre, 115kw 270Nm or so, it's hardly a ball-tearer through the AWD... :/
Quick enough, but i'd be fanging it all the time to get it to be fun...
Hmm.... RS liberty... twin turbo... wonder who'll insure me... 
Maybe a soarer - did they came out with cruise control and airbags/abs on them?
cheers
