Anyone here had experence with Subaru WRX? (No Ferrari content)

well put some wool around it and you'll love it

 

it's a very interesting car, actually........just not to drive

 

Wait, I think I get it now!!!


You're crazy!!

 

How did I know you were going to say that..... and I agree.

Thoughts on interesting cars to drive?

 

355CH

 

Once again we agree.

Now lets drop the budget a bit and look at cars around the $15k nzd or less. Thats like 5 aussie dollars.

Have you driven a C36 AMG?

 

I've had one, don't.

 

Really, can you share some of your experence please?

I thought the auto might take away from the driving experence.

 

Old, outdated, slow, expensive and auto.

Plenty of other more interesting cars for the money.

 

Lexus ISF (or at least IS250)

or another interesting car i've driven lately.....575M

Vectrix electric scooter?

You could probably get your hands on a decent Evo 5 for 15k, but they're not the comfiest cars around.

Maybe one of the newer single turbo Legacy GTs? They seem like a decent bit of kit...

 

968?

 

Thanks Horse, I have not driven one so your experence is valuable to me. I am suprised they are slow, reports I have read put them at 280hp which should have made for a reasonable amount of go.

ISF is considerably more than I want to spend, I don't see the point in having a DD that owes over 15k, not at this point in my life anyway.

Scooter would be sweet if I lived in a country that didn't rain every day.

LOL!! From you personal collection? Is that you in the background?

No interest in Evo's, not my cup of tea. Still, you are definitely along the right lines, I have not looked at Legacy single turbo's so will take a look on TM.

I would, but finding a decent one in manual is a hard ask and will command more than the 15k. Whats the value of a good 968 in Aus?

 

25 to 30k

 

I had a 1956 VW Beetle many years ago. I quite enjoyed driving it. That's probably more your style.

like the way you maintained the 308.

 

$30k+

Did NZ ever get the 4 door BMW E36 M3?

 

A 944 Turbo

 

You certainetly shortened that one!

 

apart from parking it there, I had little say in the matter!

 

thats not what the RACV said.

 

So where did you find the replacement rearend, donor car?

 

no..the one thing they DID admit was liability!

car was sold as is.

 

Interesting, around the same time you posted that a 944 turbo was listed for sale on a local website, looks like a nice car but its done huge miles, 174000 to be precise, looks well maintained, a heap of records and the condition from looking at the photos looks very good.

Any thoughts on a 944 turbo that's approaching 300k kms?

I have to say, it looks very good.
