Subaru Liberty.

From Subaru February 1996: the 1996 Liberty range includes sedans and station wagons, at LX (entry) and GX levels, capped by the 4WD `Heritage' sedan and station wagon.

The rrp of the LX sedan (2.2L 16-valve 4-cylinder "boxer" engine) is $26,990 ($Aus) in 2WD and $29,990 in 4WD. Subaru were throwing in air-conditioning on the LX 4WD sedan during February - which started cold but did finally turn hot, then cold, then hot. The top of the range `Heritage' sedan and station wagon feature twin air-bags and ABS.
