Subaru impreza 2.0R sport any good?

[0tt0]

Anything on stilts (CRV, RAV4 etc) will drink heavily in petrol form and cost the earth to buy with a diseasal. As Zak suggests though them is ideal for mixed conditions with unpredicatable or v wet is common.

I love the Octavia 4x4 suggestion. Did VW do a Golf MkIV estate with 4x4 too?
Not particularily exciting but fit the surroundings well.

If they exist how about an older non-sport A3 or A4? The sports pack would reduce the ground clearance too much for my liking.

My current favourite though - if you can cope with the size - is an original A6 2.5TDi All-road


EDIT:
Impreza R (05-07)
157bhp/8.5s/31mpg/IG14

Sounds good to me - didn't know it existed *sheepishly admits* - fingers crossed more fun than most but never read/seen/ridden/driven one enough to know.

I agree with you about A6 2.5TDi All-road, its my favourite too

Ah ha!
Now that's what I call a full-on thread hijack Sorry rob!

0tt0 send me a pm with your questions and I'll be happy to help as best I can

Back on-topic I have another slightly left-hand drive suggestion - a 5-Series x, the 4x4 vn they sold in europe. Quite a few were imported and could be ideal

My powers of observation have deserted me once again. You'd think these glasses would help!

rob what's your current thinking? Is the Scooby still on your list?

I think a scooby is on the list still maybe a legacy spec B 2.0R sport is not the slow lump some people clain 157bhp is not too bad. I work freind is selling a civic type-r but they a pricey for what they are.

[Vimeous]

Well my Civic is 167bhp and the Celica is 169bhp. That's a little difference and they're not what I would describe as slow.

Of course you won't really know until you try it

So you'd recommend the type r? What should i be looking out for and paying these days for a 4 year old one?

[chriswood_7]

Id say about £7k maybe £8k if its a low mileage AC equipped one.

[Vimeous]

It's very rare I'd not recommend a Honda TBH. Mines not a Type-R, it's an older VTi but as we produce for Honda I've driven many of their recent cars.

As Chris says. You should also be looking for post-facelift which is easy to identifiy as it has projector headlights with black surrounds. There was also a special edition with aircon which might dip into your price range.

The question I would have though is:

Now you've read lots of suggestions and maybe looked at a wider variety of cars has you requirement altered?

I ask because based upon your original thoughts I'm not sure a Type-R would be my first choice. Once it's an option you enter a whole new ball-game

I think my requirement has altered I am less bothered about 4wd and want something fast grippy reliable and a little bit practicle. I would not consider estate cars I just dont like them.
My honda civic is 11 years old and touch wood never given me any trouble but very very very slow. Thats why I though about the type-r. I hear that celica are good cars & the gt version is very nice. I would defo consider that but I personally don't like the look of it but I shouldn't judge a book by its cover I guess.
