Millsy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Wonder what you can get a Nissan Stagea imported for. Quite rare, but basically a Skyline estate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Legacy Twin Turbo estate and enough left over to make it more personal - £3500 for the car, £1500 for bits. Or you could buy my 1.8GL Legacy for £500 and spend £4500 on something silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Impreza WRX wagon? strange you should mention but i've seen this.... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/157709.htm what you reckon? there's also these: Integra 1 Integra 2 Legacy Pulsar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Just take Aristo for Christ sake and stop showing those abdominations. Fact you are not buying Supra doesn't mean you have to choose ugliest car in area just to compensate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Scooby, Evo or a Legacy TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Scooby, Evo or a Legacy TT Right. At the moment the list stands at: Integra Type R Impreza (expensive to insure?) Legacy TT EVO (even more expensive to insure than Impreza) Aristo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 strange you should mention but i've seen this.... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/157709.htm what you reckon? there's also these: Integra 1 Integra 2 Legacy Pulsar Not a huge fan of the colour, however mileage is good and car is standard, so thats a bonus... Having owned an impreza sometime ago, they are great cars, never had any major issues with mine, and engine was going strong, even on sh!te SA fuel. Lots of space in the wagon as well, also comes with roof racks, standard and can easily mount a bike rack etc... EDIT - not a fan of that shape legacy, but the newer ones look awesome!

grahamc Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 not likely to get a newer shape one for my price though...am I? what kind of mpg did your impreza return? 20-ish? probably not... +-450kms to a tank, which is 55litres (including reserve) driving on the motorway and off boost I got 550kms a couple of times. However driving like a hooligan @255kmph I got 177 to a tank. Really comes down to how you drive it... I also had an exhaust and induction kit, which pushed the fuel usage up, as the boost went up.

However driving like a hooligan @255kmph I got 177 to a tank. That's pretty much what I figured. Not sure about the Aristo now as I've remembered they're all autos unless i wanted a conversion done (not likely on my budget). So we now have: integra impreza evo IV legacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Volvo T5 brilliant suggestion but i'm still not ready for a volvo yet lol definitely thinking along the lines of an impreza/evo/integra with the twisty roads up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Apart from the one's mentioned you thought about these ?. M3 Audi A3 T Golf Gti / VR6 Soarer TT 406 V6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 M3 Not bad. bit common and possibly out of my price range? Audi A3 T not enough fun although a good allrounder. Golf Gti / VR6 same as A3. Soarer TT same practicality issues as the supra, inability to carry roof rack (oh the shame) 406 V6 It's french. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
