WRXs are a good all-round car, reliable (not that a honda isnt), etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Nissan S13/14 - not practical enough (can't take roof rack?) Type R - definitely a strong contender. anyone on here owned one? EVO - another contender Scooby( As a last resort) - bit bland looking and lots about Plus side is there will be 2 soops sitting outside, haha. wouldn't want to make them look common would I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_a Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Impreza isn't as bad to insure as you'd think. Have a look on Scoobynet for some recommendations, obviously much better if you get a UK one. You can also pick up one that has been family owned because they want to space. The stealability thing is usually the same as the Supra, they break into the house to nick the keys so no worse than before really. The reason they are stolen is because they are fast, handle superbly and you get get 5 big blokes with baseball bats in one so loads of room for you and your mates biking! m.

edd_t Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Nissan Figaro??? How about a Celica GT4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Loved my wrx and now looking for a P1. Wee brother bought a scooby wagon the other week and it handles even better than the saloon in my opinion. If you can get over the whole image thing then a fantastic motor. PS, MPG on the motorway we got up to 30 taking it easy but daily commuting was 23 for me. Insurance was a few quid more than a Supra N/A but not much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 03 WRX Wagon. Got it because we might need to get a wheelchair in the back. Newage so understeersa rather than oversteers but tons of grip and very fast off the line. Not as hot at rolling speeds but four wheel drive has meant zero traction issues. Just make sure it has been serviced and hasn't been over modded and it should be fine. m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Nissan Figaro??? How about a Celica GT4? yes, i'm ignoring your figaro comment Edd (besides, the missus would always be nicking it ) Celica isn't practical enough either to be honest, no roof rack mounting points.

VELOCITY Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 How about an Audi S4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 How about an Audi S4 would be a fantastic choice and there are a couple i've seen near my price range. i've heard of manifolds cracking at higher mileages though and apparently it's an engine out job to replace it? don't know if this is correct or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VELOCITY Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 i've never heard of that, could be wrong though, my mates had an S4 estate (sorry Avant!)for 5 years now and never had any manifolds cracked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
