Default T25 !!!!!!

Having visited powerstation recently to get work done on my suspension, Curtis kindly took me a drive in the new T25 to let me see what their AST coilover setup was like. All I can say is what a car. Its truely a great 'package'. I ended up chosing their stage 3 T25 spec suspension for my own car.

Could talk all day about this car as I thought it really was that good but have a few simple questions :

1. Who on here owns one ? And if you do fancy posting a picture and listing spec's ?

2. Anyone sold one yet second hand ? What do you think this car would be worth a year old with 5 - 10 K on the clock ?

3. Does any insurance company recognise the T25 yet or where did you owners get your insurcance ?

Anyone who has the money and wants one of the quickest, if not the quickest point to point cars in the country got for it.... you wont be disappointed. Cant recommended the guys at Litchfields and Powerstaion enough !!!!

Cheers !

1. There are a few of the older cars on here, and at least one of the new.
2. They have only just started delivering the Cosworth version, and I've not heard about anyone selling one yet.
3. Yes, the specialist insurers certainly know what a Type 25 is.

Default Hi

Agree, last EVO Mag kinda destroyed the T25, didn't get a good write up, apparently it can't match the new 1X Evo FQ360? Checked out the MLR recently and chat there was that the EVO mag is crap really and they were saying the T25 had not been given enough praise..

I dont watch 5th gear but watched Jason Platos review on the T25. Being a touring car driver he certainly knows his stuff and he loved it. That says enough to me how good it is

Evo have the T25 in this months Evo (100th edition) but haven't read it yet.

As for how much it'll be worth? Depends on your spec as to how much you'll lose. Go for the Porsche brakes, 18" Alloys, Leather etc, and you're looking at £45-46k

Trade it in a Lichfields itself, and you'd probably get a better price than any other dealership. Your local Subaru dealer would probably offer you Half the sale price. As it's a specialist car without any manufacturers warranty, then people are going to be put off, so residuals could be affected.

TBH when Evo mag said it was too grippy, and not playfull enough, that made me want one more. Don't know about anyone else, but I want my cars to grip rather than slide.

Damn right, that would attract me more, rather than push me away. I'm hardly power oversteering the bends and drifting round roundabouts with the fam in the car.

Not everyone wants to publicise what car they own mate. As there have been some high profile thefts this year some people don't want to draw attention to owning a rare and sought after Scoob
