Quite a good article about these cars below
http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_0098/article.html


they drive really well actually... difficult to describe, basically like a softer wrx but with a wider viewing angle through the front window, larger rear seats and a MASSIVE boot, they are cruisers not racers really but as the article suggests they are deffinatly not slow, to be honest all I have planned for this one is to respray the alloys to factory bronze and do a nice sound install and then just maintain it and enjoy the boxer rumble which I can assure you is even more pure that the wrx noise :P


They're not a cruiser, they were designed as a rally car, thats just another way of saying its slow :P

1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons

just a small FYI. Generally the factory RS's had the silver intercoolers (that also have a temp sensor in them), whilst the GT's got the black ones (without sensor). GT's were auto, RS's were manual.

looks like a good deal man.

If i was going to buy a subaru i wouldnt pay more than 2k so looks like you have got a decent bit of car for your money. We'll have to see how long it lasts though.

It goes on percentages rather than amount stolen. So for example, say 10,000 people owned E46 BMWs, and 1000 of them were stolen, thats' only 10% , however if AA have only 50 people with them who own a Lantis, and 40 of them are stolen, then the rate at which they're stolen is 80%, which is why they make the list.
Daily driver: Toyota RunX/Toyota Caldina
Ex: 2x AE101, 5x KP60, KP61, EP71, 3x KE70, KE72, AE70, AE82, 2x TE71, AE90, AE92, ST170, plus 11 Hondas, 12 Nissans, 6 Fords, 4 Mazdas, 3 Mitsis, an Isuzu and a Lada!
