Default Looking at coming back to subaru life. Anyone know this car

How do people's..


Looking at coming back to scoo y world.. Been playing in a boxster recently which hopefully sells on sunday

I am trying to decide between a blitzen legacy that I like.. I can follow its life for whole time its been in the UK and have been cherished..

It is my fun carso slightly worried it might be a bit sensible as a fun car




The only other car to tickle me is this one

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153388207986

Wondering if anyone knew it or anything about it.. Looks like it's loved, what's the going price for o e like thisisita bit expensive or about right?




Thanks

Pete

Can't go wrong with a Blitzen, but them I am biased. Might be worth asking about the corrosion on the impreza - it's been picked up in the MOT as an advisory for the last few years along with a few other bits and pieces.

Thanks people's!!!
I couldn't see the plate for the impreza so couldn't check.

Really want the legacy as its so different. Just wondered how it would compare to the classic Worried the legacy would be to big, I have an rx8 track car but if there's an issue with it then what ever I get will be substituted, what are they like on track? If required. If defo be I terest Ted in getting a set of arbs.. I know the brakes have already been upgraded to sti 4 pots and have been mapped for UK super unleaded by Bob someone...

Thanks peoples hopefully it doesn't sell before sunday!!

You can just see the plate on one of the docs - then do an MOT histry search and you can see the advisories.

The legacies are very different to the Impreza. Quieter, more refined, more comfortable, better equipped, bigger, heavier and the doors close with a proper clunk.
The downside is that they aren't as nimble or feel as raw as an impreza, espcially a classic. They are much easier to live with on a day to day basis, and for a big car are really good to hustle along. Standard brakes are good too.
There are also a lot fewer modification parts for the gen 4 legacy, as less of the chassis and running gear is shared with the Impreza.
