RS's are great and cheap too.. posted by Jacob on October 06, 2003 at 11:05:47: for cheap AWD thrills, I'd do a Mitsu V4R. It would have to be cherry though. : I was looking for a nice '00 or '01 2.5 RS coupe when I gave up and got the WRX. Sure the WRX is more fun out of the box but those cars are great. Sorta depends what you got into too - I started with a silver '98 WRX in the UK so those cars will always be cool to me. You can find a cherry '00 coupe for $11k, a WRX drivetrain for what... $4k and you would have one screaming little car. : Both are fun for sure, but don't knock the RS. I think if you don't have the cash for a WRX yet, they are a fun step on the way. Besides, when I was looking for a used WRX.. All I found were thrashed or problematic '02s. : BTW - there's a guy selling a black RS coupe here right now asking around $10k I think. : Check out www.nasioc.com for info on many Subarus or www.i-club.com. : Oh and if you like projects, can find a 3SGT-E and want a cool rallycar alternative - drop me a line. My buddy has finally given up on his Celica GT-Four project and is gonna cut it loose. : -Jacob Replys: Wha? I gotta pay $20k for a WRX? Jacob ('03 WRX) 11:34:36 10/06/2003 (5) I think a Mitsu VR4 is probably more reliable than a RS with a engine swap Jeff92se (92se) 11:49:54 10/06/2003 (4) You are saying a Mitsu VR-4 is better more reliable than a WRX Jacob ('03 WRX) 15:28:00 10/06/2003 (3) I dunno. Are you saying VR4s are that bad? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 15:35:13 10/06/2003 (2) eh, not really into the galant, Matt K (89 SE 5spd) 17:45:21 10/06/2003 (1) Ok. n/m Jeff92se (92se) 18:20:30 10/06/2003 (0)
