Although I have always loved the GTRs, they are like boats on our roads... Impreza for me unless it is as a track car project or you just drive on motorways.

Yep, i'm thinking of GTR as well, but needing four doors so it had to be scoob..
And i'm not an expert ,but i think the scoob is a bit more practical car here in uk , cause we have so many parts, specialist etc., Anyway, tnx for your coments...

Out of those two, the GTR seems cheap and looks very nice. The Impreza is too expensive and looks cheap.

GTR for sure - or find a better looking Impreza

Is it a V Spec GTR or not, little confusing the ad.

It depends on the driving you're doing I guess as to what to choose. Before I bought my Type R, I went out in a friends 500BHP GTR V Spec; WOW! what a car, fast, handles the high speed stuff really well. I still chose the Scoob though for the tight twisty stuff, seems to be more 'chuckable' than the GTR.

I know , but that's the one u can compare with GTR , sti type R ... may be sti type ra , but i'm not shure as a 4 door is a bit heavier. I put this thread because of opinions which one is a better maschine, not because i'm wanting to buy.. I've got my 4 door one , and i'm happy thought...

Liner is too cheap to be a V-Spec IMO, also doesn't look like it from the rear and interior pics.

Plus at that mileage it'll be getting ready to go pop..........then again, the Type R won't be far behind it in needing a build.

Buy wisely if your after a perfomance Jap car.

ive had a gtr before and loved it, but there big cars, i think i prefer my scooby as its smaller, the gtr will stand out more though and get more looks and with light mods can see 400bhp!

wait a bit more till the skyline prices drop even more, btw you will need a 600bhp gtr to keep up with a well sorted 400 to 450 type ra or type r. sccoby all the way
