Hi guys

i have been offered this:http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2081890.htm

as a direct swap for this:http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2094916.htm

Now i know the subaru has more power, better looks, better handling so why would i do this swap? and if cash is expected on top then how much???

OR should i just say no thanks

you won't be happy with the ride quality either in the civic mate its teeth shattering unless on good roads but wait we live in england so its useless really

Keep the scoob as it's a much better car and u might regret it in a few months

i wouldnt mate and looking at your advert you want a convertable so dont think you should either you will only regret it later

vava voom

iTrader: (6)

Yeah just bored to be honest......was looking for a convertable when the sun was out but now that our British summer is over, could be interested in anything

To me it depends?

Is that what that car is worth on say Autotrader?

Then what is tru value of your car?

If the above turns out to be right then I would say no way.

For example, my MY03 JDM is only worth probs £8k/£9k (according to Autotrader) and it has been totally reliable, so I am not selling for a good few years

No way would I consider swapping the scoob for a civic type r, For the money mate you would be hard pushed to find a car that will make you as happy as the scoob would. Done it so many times over the last 10 years and I always end up going back to a scooby.

If you want something that would make you smile everytime you drive it then id cosider going for a JDM twin scroll impreza or maybe a Evo 8 or along those lines!! You will regret selling that hawkeye in a month once its gone!!!

Yeah thats the fear mate and from what i have been told the Type R is a great backstep!

Civic owner has put up £2k, what do you think?

Dont do it, a bloke not far from me put his uk300 in for a new civic type r and guess what? He now has bought another uk300.

well seems to me you are unsure, so tbh i would just sell the car you have then buy something when you decide you know what it is you want! if u make a fast move on something you may regret it later on.

nice car as the ctr is, it wont make you smile every day....

Stick with the scooby mate, values aside its overall a much better car

You would be off yer rocker to swap ur scooby for the civic. But if your seriously thinkin about it I have three magic beans I got from a fella called Jack.

Maybe a DC5 Integra Type R but not the Civic

vava voom

iTrader: (6)

Yeah not sure what i want at the moment, ijust seem to get bored within a few months

Don,t do it. Steve.

Surely if he's offering you his civic plus 2k then you'd be mad not to do the deal ? I mean if you put the civic back up straight away for £9250 then you'd have £11250 in your bank to spend on a better Impreza.
Its a no-brainer

Aaron1978

iTrader: (12)

He's offering a straight swap, probably due to the fact the Civic is overpriced by at least £1.5k and so it looks like a good deal.

You'd be mad to swap for a Civic Type R.

iTrader: (6)

OK OK civic is out of the pictures as i have told him i have been warned to stay away

What do you think about this vw tourag on a 03 plate , 3.2 v6 auto model with 133k miles on clock.....

chrispy200+

iTrader: (2)

Wouldn't ever touch anything with that mileage, makes it so much harder to sell on in the future in my opinion

And you think the Scoobs poor on fuel

I think you need to sit down in a dark room and have a few days on your own

Don't do it !!!!

I just sold my civic type r 07 "57" it was **** and bought a sti05

the reasons I hated it

the ride was to hard (and not great handling)

the brakes were poor (took it back to Honda a few times) and still poor

The handbrake was useless had to leave it in gear on any sort of hill(Honda said must leave it in gear when parked on hill )

I had trouble pulling away (wheel spun all the time) no lsd (i went from 4 wheel drive to civic and now back to 4 wheel drive)

mpg was only bit better when driven slowly mpg when pushed 16-18 mpg

not as quick in the real world as I was lead to believe plus did not suit my driving style as it had to be thrashed hard to make it power difficult to explode out of corners and round abouts(on private property of course)

to sum up do NOT do it

If you need everyone's opinion to make your mind up you must be mad.

vava voom

iTrader: (6)

no cos this way you get the positives and the negatives, also if anyone has had a bad experiance with this car then it gives me the heads up

Could do with going on Honda forums for info, me thinks this forum would be a bit bias
