As a few of you know I have 2 cars. The "family" astra coupe and the "matt wants to play" type ra .

I've been thinking about chopping the astra in for something bigger and have been considering getting a Legacy GTB. Several reasons, I have to carry a fair amount of kit around at the weekends , I prefer to drive bigger cars, it has twin turbos and 280 bhp straight out of the box!

Now the wife doesn't drive, so both cars are really only for me to use. I was thinking of going stealth with the legacy. It'll keep the wife happy as she doesn't like how loud the impreza is. Plus it'll shock a few people when an estate car takes off relatively silently and leaves them wondering why they can't keep up But I know now that this would pretty much leave the ra redundant for obvious reasons.

So my question is this:

Do I get the legacy and sell the ra and just have one car - most sensible option really as i can plough some money into my business.

Do I get the legacy and keep the ra as well - killing me a bit on petrol at the moment with the close ratio gear box as it more fun to drive than the astra. It wouldn't be used anywhere near as much once I have the legacy, so the petrol wouldn't be so much of a problem then.

Do I sell the Astra and the RA and get a type r - ra with 380 bhp that I've seen for sale and cut down on the amount of kit I carry around at the weekend - although the pressure washer will never fit in the boot!

Sensible answers please guys. I'm not going to be left without some form of Subaru this time. It proved last time that I just couldn't be without one

If it was me I would want to get the Legacy and keep the RA but realistically I think I would sell the Astra and RA, get the more sensible car and plough the remaining or saved cash into the business to get it off the ground and going well, at which time you can get another "fun" car if you so desired.

Sell both, buy a tdi people carrier, pipe and slippers (well you do have a family now )
Buy a small Astra size van for business, then it can be properly liveried and advertise your business when out and about.

Snap, but more politely put

i know i said sensible answers but i meant scoobynet sensible not real life sensible

cheers guys. appreciate your answers. this is the way i've been leaning towards.

one thing i've just thought of, when my dad buys his scooby i'll have one to drive every now and then anyway

i think a nice run around thats big enough for you to use amd relieable for your work and keep the RA for the weekends
