Actually he is getting rid of the Porsche C4S and is looking at these four cars!

Andy - He has an expanding family so he is looking for a more sensible car... so that would be the Blitzen then!

Davyboy - Not ignoring the question he is just not sat near me and is on the phone at the moment.

Question

Of these four cars which would you go for:

STi 2002
STi 2003
Legacy RSK B4
Legacy Blitzen

I just got asked at work and sat there alternating between them all!

Help, my head hurts!

Blitzen, but the saloon, not the estate!

I like the funky rear spoiler and it looks good in the flat red!

Impreza's are old hat. Legacys are the new Imprezas!!

Andy,

Hmm passed this on and I think one comment might have swung it!

The bugeye STI will be obsolete, if the MY03 STI is out then. Personally I prefer the MY03 to the MY02.

Legacy RSK B4 is ok, but apparently it's not worth getting the automatic, and there is 'the valley of death' between the two turbos.

Legacy Blitzen is more or less the same, but looks prettier and less 'normal' car looking!!

Andy,

I agree completely (although I didn't know the technical details of the B4) the way the cars were introduced to me was:

"Would you get a tuned STi Type UK if it was this much?"
"So would you wait for the MY03 STi?"
"Would get the B4 instead?"
"What about the Blitzen?"

At each point I said yes and then my jaw dropped when he said Blitzen and a smile developed!

Thumbs up

Well I think someone at work is getting a red Blitzen saloon!

Especially as he knows some people that has "sorted" the suspension for the Legacy.

BTW The car being sold is a Porsche C4S 993.

You know you can really go off some people!

oooh, tough choice there MATTeL.

Hmmmm, STi 2003 is tempying, but.... Think the Blitzen would be my choice.

However, I would much prefer the Legacy S401

Drool!

Andy you are a well known MY01/02 hater (well apart from one) but I really don't like the S201.

The kit on it is too much for me, never thought I would say that!
