I'd keep the type r... much harder to replace if you wanted another

Looks lovely in the pic

I would definitely keep the Type R, as nice as the JDM Bug Sti is I'd get rid of that first.

Keep the Type R.I have 05 STi Type UK and i love it,BUT if i'd seen your Type R for sale first i would have bought it.The word Classic says it all.If you sell the Bug can you PM me with a price.I sold my R33 GTR to my mate and he wants to sell and get a Scooby coz he can't keep up with me lol.

Depends on want you want to do with it...

I have a prodrive bug sti and a type R on my driveway. Drove both yesterday and.....

For the road I prefer the bug!!! The type R is very rough, hard and not so nice inside. The bug is more comfortable, quieter and easier to drive.

However for an out-and-out track car, I would go for the type R.....

My driveway...

They both look nice to be honest.
I'd sell the one that you think you will get more money for.

I have to agree with Danny ,although I think the JDM Bug is the better car.

Both great cars, and I'd be so tempted as I'm not normally a fan of the classics, but grey Type Rs are very nice so that'd swing if for me

I don't think the wife would be happy if I did that but then again there wouldn't be much point in selling the wife because I would juts starve to death and the cars would be no good to me then anyway

Keep the Type R.

As nice as the bug is, it's still a bug and the Type R is nicer.
