| Question:
Hi alan. Im looking to be getting a car to use as a \" sunday \" car and ive been looking at the subaru type R ( 2 door ) or a r33 skyline gts-t. What do you think is better ? Is one more tunable than the other?
Ive always wanted a rally car and have looked at evos but i must say i prefer the looks of the type R over the evos but no had a go so cant say on driving.
Ive also heard of the skyline rb25det block being taken to well above 600bhp.
The subaru also has a better standard 0-60 time etc with the AWD but not sure about handling but as it will be a sunday car it wont always be getting hammered.
So in your opinion what do you think is better ?
many thanks |

| Answer:
Hi Tim - You'll find the Impreza the easiest to deal with. I'd say the type R is a good choice as a weekend car, having very good grip and handling. They are slightly low geared for motorway work, but as that's not what you want it for, it doesn't matter. Of course, choice depends upon budget, but a useable one starts at around £4000. When it boils down to it, it's hard to choose between an Evo and an Impreza, I've owned both, and liked them for different reasons. I happen to know where there is a really nice V4 type R going as we speak, we know the history, it's standard, with 71K on it, £5000. |
