You Skoda guys crack me up!
Good list of cars there, loved the S15's. Never got around to getting one unfortunately, dissapointing that they were discontinued. There was a real gap in the market for small reasonably priced rwd sports cars since then until the 86 came out. Never been a massive toyota fan though, except for the AE82 my missus had and now the 86 looks good.Quote:

Third: White 1992 Subaru Liberty RS Turbo wagon. One of only 110 delivered to Australia. Some mods, but sadly a mechanical lemon!
Fourth: Took over my wife's 2000 Ford Laser. Not a bad car, but no fun whatsoever. During this time I also spent time in her VE Sportwagon company car - I hate Commonwhores. Only drove it for the free petrol.
Fifth: Black 2006 Ford XR5. Brilliant car. Best sound ever! Flashed, intake, exhaust, springs, bushes and swaybars.
Now: The VRS wagon. Love it. Best so far...just need some mods and to begin the storm trooper makeover.
the new 86 is a fantastic looking car. I think the fact its powered by Subaru makes it less appealing to me.Quote:

Volcano black with the sand leather interior - was the best combination, and I've never seen it before or ever again...
Stagea was on my short list before the octy. love the M35 shape! I kinda still want one :PQuote:

The fuel economy was what spoiled it for me too - couldn't justify going to a bigger V6 (than my old A4) especially for 3 hours worth of stop-start traffic each day. But I always imagined a black Stagea would look insanely cool under my fairly obsessive detailing hands. :cookie:Quote:

its huge, comes with everything and comfortable as hell to drive.
I had coilovers, swaybars, underbody bracing and new brakes. it really added to the handling :)
fuel isn't the best, mine also had Nismo ECU (extremely rare) but bumped up the power and torque.
transmission needed a valve body upgrade, they are sloppy from factory.
I only changed because it was getting to 10 years old. never had any major issues with it
My previous rides.
07 Subaru Liberty Spec.B. Awesome car. Comfortable and the factory McIntosh sound system is probably the best stock sound system I have ever heard.

07 Subaru WRX STi. Fast, absolute money pit. Looked and sounded amazeballs.
