Carl_S Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I love it. It burbles, not as loud as the impreza's but I like it all the more for it. I'm sure it will make a great 2nd car, and so different from the supra. Yeah I'm kinda broke, and tryed to get cash instead of this car for my old car, but my heart is happy. Plus I get to see my bro in Liverpool. The car: http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/1163/hahaqa8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I like it mate. My next car is going to be something similar....an estate with a bit of grunt about it. (sadly, I don't think i'll stretch to an RS6 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sadly, I don't think i'll stretch to an RS6 ) Wow, expecting to get slated for it. That will come no doubt . But yeah, you can fit a lot in a supra, but it's quite specific in it's remit. This car will check all the other boxes that my supra don't. Cheers Ian. (also the name of my brother funnily enough) Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Is it the STi or have they just fitted some of the bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You can get a 1997 car with 35-40,000 miles on the clock for about 1700-2000 quid at the Southampton auctions. They are real good value cars IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Nice choice, slightly too small to have the tree huggers throwing bricks at you, but with the looks and grunt to match the SUV crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Is it the STi or have they just fitted some of the bits? Bits I think. You can get a 1997 car with 35-40,000 miles on the clock for about 1700-2000 quid at the Southampton auctions. They are real good value cars IMO Well I swapped a 6k skyline for it (what I paid a year ago). I'm happy. I like it a lot. Nice choice, slightly too small to have the tree huggers throwing bricks at you, but with the looks and grunt to match the SUV crew Indeed. It suprises be how low it is too.

tooquicktostop Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Its ok, very box-like but will go forever if looked after, I am not sure I would have given up a 6K Skyline for it though The skyline I had was far more practical than the Supra, nice 4 seater with a good boot, but each to there own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to pay more for cars, than the going rate. strange habit. cracking things my mate had one scares the crap out of people, you dont expect the noise or performance from the box shaped estate lol Exactly!

dangerous brain Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hmm I'd of had a volvo V70R awd myself for that money, bit more classy. Forrester is an OK car on paper but looks a bit toooo boxy for my liking. The legnum estate I think can look cool. The stagea's look just as chronic as that does and I wouldn't have one even in GTR format. For me the european bred estates are the best. Its an area that the Japanese groups just have not gotten right yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an area that the Japanese groups just have not gotten right yet. Yeah, though it was a straight swap for my skyline and no cash exchanged. My liner's book price must have been about 3 grand. saved by some mods - LPG system etc. I like that uglyness in the forrester. And i'm not bothered about an everyday shopping and lugging about car to look classy. For that I have my supe. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dangerousandy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Sweet. Great minds drive alike. we must be the only ones here with the supra/subaru combo. yeah, I agree 100%.....but the outback isn't mine:( it was a work car I had for a week!! loved it though and once I sell the Starlet I will be buying an estate car as my daily driver (putting to many "silly" miles on the Supra, either a Legacy (outback is too high for my liking) or a Camry 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
