My 99 P1 or TypeR what would people choose?

 

type r every time mate far better car

 

Type-R

DCCD

Aggresive Cams

Better car too imo, especially the Version 3..but i,m biased...

 

A p1 all the way but same as pete but i,m biased lol

Love them can't get enough of them





bobs_p1

 

p1 for me to, limited number etc but i am with bob and biased and this debate will run and run personaly i went with th1 as they are cheaper to insure and other than the dccd i did think there were much in them.

 

type r

 

The search function beats both.

 

^^^ Indeed, when it works

Oh, and you pays your money .................................

 

V3 RA is even better IMO,, but 4 doors is probably not what you,re after.....

 

defo version 4 type r!!!!!!

 

Why is that then?

I like 2 doors but 4 are easier with the nipper in tow.

 

I just had to make the same decision. I went for a Type R in the end. They just seem a bit more aggressive and lively than the P1. I would have liked the exclusivity of the P1 but I didn't think that was enough to warrant paying the extra for over the Type R. I went for the version 5 though, the interior is miles better than the earlier ones.

 

I prefer the P1 for it's looks/insurance, but the Type R for the performance/cost. Depends what you want!

 

Type R for me too,mainly because they come with all the goodies on them that the P1 doesn't (dccd,water spray,close ratio gearbox,sti rear lights) and you can get them in the best colour...white (prototype P1 excluded).

 

how about Type R V-Limited

 

type r but i am biased but it is a better car. p1 is soft compared to a type r ;-)

 

Hi Edd,

Your post 11 quoting me, i don,t understand it.. i,m not digging at 4 doors mate reason i typed that was, i,d imagined it was a 2dr car he,s after that,s all.............

 

P1 ... and thats not because i own one ... honest

and if anyone disagrees .... there's always one way to sort it

 

Could'nt agree more

Im biased too

 

Type r everytime..

 

Type R...

 

type r because there more raw

 

type-r = sexxxxx

 

Not another one of these............my god!!
Have a quick search thru

P1 for me but would love to have both :-D

 

have driven shed loads of P1's on track and road and Owned a type R V-LTD i can say Both are fantastic Scoobs

They are chalk & cheese but each will really satisfy two different Subaru Niche markets that they were created for.

IMHO

IMHO

 

P1 all day long

 

I couldn't make up my mind so i've kind of got both - P1 with a dccd box

By the way the engines are the same in that the P1 engine is just an STV/Vi engine with a marginally different knock treatment in the ecu to try to cope with the lower octane Uk petrol. There are however, marginal differences between differing model years e.g the V3's etc that are being talked about above.

 

Sorry, was just an honest question

Just wondered why you thought a V3 RA would be better than P1 or Type R - nowt to do with 2 or 4 doors. I like both but as I said with my daughter it would be easier to have 4 doors even if the car isn't used daily. I also don't like the thought of her being stuck in the back if anything went wrong - least with a door near her I could get her out easily.

Or if she needed a quick exit if she gets car sick

Personally I think I may avoid the hardcore stuff. Just want something to enjoy rather than **** me up everytime I get in it. Might just go for good UK or V5/6STI 4 door.

 

4 and 5 have the same interiors.

Some really good deals to be had on version 4's at the mo, i picked mine up for a really good deal
