Considering another mature mans sports car..

[_Tom]

I havent had my own car for quite a while now and have managed to save up a fair wedge. I'm only looking for a cheap run around though. I was really tempted by another Accord Type R but these have caught my eye. I have a test drive arranged in one at the wkend hopefully...

Subaru Legacy B4 RSK. 2.0 twin Turbo. 280bhp out of the box but around 310bhp with a remap for UK fuel.

Reduced: 80% of original size [ 798 x 549 ] - Click to view full image

Not the best looking but nice none the less. Anyone had any dealings?

 

[Gally]

Yes if it looks like that!

Thats just wheels and lowered.

Pretty much mate. Just with two tubbys. A baby one to take you to the larger one around 5k.

They're fairly heavy and big but really appeal to the more mature man in me. Its just whether i prefer ATR's..

It might be for a mature man, but it is not a sports car.

 

[JCC]

That one you posted is stunning I know that much!

I really like them, look good in an understated way. I'd imagine the ATR would be more agile and cheaper to run though.

 

[sideways danny]

legacys are brilliant, very different car to an ATR though

Get the legacy. I can't stand imprezas these days, but the legacy is still cool.

Take it you've previously owned ATR's?

Currently thinking about one need something a bit more grown up soon

 

[gaz44]

Do it! Nicer than Scoobies imo.

Yep sure have. Awesome cars tbh! I'm just a bit of a turbo freak and missed proper turbo power since my 200sx.

As for Impreza comments, i love how people call them scoobies. This is a scoobie too..haha! I've gone off impreza's though. Tbh these arent much bigger than the latest impreza's anyway..

I like that white one tbh...

I'm looking at the pre-facelifts in my budget... any places to look other than the obvious (pistonheads, autotrader, ebay)

Meant accord type-r going a bit OT

 

[Mark One]

bit of a dark horse that.

Is it just me or does it look EXACTLY like a big Glanza from the front?

Mature man! FLOL! You're about 15!

Legacy is bloody nice though.

 

[Sarah]

one of my mates had one, use to fly

 

[Jamie]

I don't like it.

Yeah ATR's are great cars mate. Tbh i'd get a pre facelift anyway. They look much nicer. Get onto www.accordr.org/
