Default GX v WRX

Which would get a cheeper premium a GX with a turbo, and turbo bonnet or a standard WRX?
and would the difference be big enough to be worth upgrading the GX?


Cheers

I would have thought the GX would be cheaper. If you're putting a turbo on why not just buy a WRX to start with?

i think if you tot up all the mods the GX could be more expensive, have less power and insurance companies will be wary of an NA car thats been turbod so premiums could be pretty high!

Also the engine wont be the only difference between the two so you would have to upgrade other parts on the GX like brakes suspension etc. and it all adds up! not too mention the ball ache of doin the conversion, half way through doin it youd be dreamin of that wrx

When you came to sell it you would prob lose a whole heap of cash too and reliability could also be an issue, all things considered id go for the wrx every time!

some insurance companies could start asking for engineers reports for the gx
i would stick to the wrx no hassle just plenty of time on the phone sorting out a decent premium.
