Hey all,
Got to drive a few cars on the weekend. Here are my thoughts.
Liberty GT: Not bad. I didn't hate it (which is always a good thing in non-RWD cars). Nice power. Good suspension. Understeered if you push it past 7/10ths which makes it pretty crap to drive hard. Steering was very vague, especially around the centre.
Liberty 3.0R-B: Much nicer drive! More of a driver's car than the GT. Suspension is firmer and more controlled. Steering wheel was smaller than the GT (and steering felt much better than the GT). Had alloy pedals which were easy to heal-toe. Great instantaneous torque from the N/A 3.0L. Didn't have the top end of the GT though and uses more petrol. If this had the GT engine and was RWD (or at least more torque split to the rear), this would be a fantastic car to own. As it is, I couldn't push it more than 8/10ths without understeer rearing its ugly head and making me nearly puke in disgust.
Accord Euro: A very competent car. If I was to buy a car based on my brain only, I'd pick this one. For the price, the features list is amazing! Materials weren't as good as the Liberty, but had stuff like heated front seats and separate climate control for either side of the car. Good value for money, drove well. But didn't stir any emotion in me. The torque steer was a huge put off too. Yuck.
So, to sum it all up. The woman likes the GT 'coz she'll never push it so hard that she'll meet Mr. Understeer (or at least his big brother). It's comfy and has plenty of power.
As for me. The IS200 still rules my brain. Down a mountain, the IS200 would 0wn the Liberty. It's got loads of grip, steering is phenomenal, has great poise and balance, and you'd have to be pretty insane to get it to understeer.
