Looked at both, both great classic's, I went for the P1 based on the fact my dad had one when they first came out and it reminds of the better days, I will never sell it so couldn't careless about the price differences or making money on it.

It was purchased solely with my heart and great memories, I couldn't be happier with it, every time I get it out the garage after weeks of not driving it I cannot stop smiling.

 

Can't speak for Ford owners but every community I've ever been a part of has the equivalent of this. Porsche 968 owners debate endlessly about whether the Clubsport is worth the extra money; M owners likewise about E39 vs E60 and E46 vs E92 vs F80, and don't even get me started on the 911 air-cooled versus water-cooled debate.

Every make has its beards - it's all harmless banter at the end of the day and it gives something for people to talk about (even if it is mostly boring and repetitive).

 

anotehr deluded P1 owners who would want 30k to sell it,,,, o hang on,,,,,,,,, lol

 

And what water do my statements need to hold?

 

Impreza P1 Just for you Jay.



We all have different reasons for buying our cars. I'm sorry we don't all agree with your opinion of both cars in question. You obviously don't like P1's. That is your choice, I'm soo pleased we don't all like the same things in life. As i said in my first post. Both great cars.

 

lol, just becuase you prefer one over the other doesn't mean you dislike the other lol

your the one who was being generalistic about people not being able to afford them, now your getting stroppy because someone has a different opinion than you?

reminds me of a p1, bit soft,,,,,,,,, lmao

 

I'm not getting stroppy matey, it's not in my nature. I don't get why people say the P1 is soft. It is a very capable fast point to point road car. Over the years this discussion has gone on and on and on, to the point it's going round in circles. And over the years, a lot of the comments have come from people that haven't driven either, or can't afford either. I am not pointing my finger at anyone that has commented on this thread. The two cars in question, are tweaked for different reasons.

 

Honestly there is no comparison the type r is a unique model with its own running gear, the P1 has the sti version 5 4 door running gear just with different suspension.

 

It's the JDM envy

 

Wait till you try n mod a p1, you will then wish you'd bought a type r lol

 

Where's Vee

 

Pmsl.

 

I'm here you fxcktards. P1 over type r. Oh mines better than a standard p1 and a standard type r so

 

Lol, but a type r would of cost you less to mod and less hasstle

 

P1's look better, fact.
Type R's are better if you want it for track use.

I like my cars to look awesome, sound awesome, be quick and keep them immaculate with perfect history, and im not one who does track days so P1 would get my vote.

 

My type r is awesome and i wouldnt touch a P1 simples!

 

 

so you want a fluffy performance car?

 

+1

 

Ady you're good entertainment value keep going roflol

 

 

tbh a scoob is a scoob no matter what,

everyone knows a type r is the pic of all impreza's, its just P1 drivers always see them and think 'i wish i bought a type r',,,,,,

hahaha

 

You're all a bunch of ****, everyone knows that real men buy a STI RA :-)

 

Not true and Yes.


Get on to MLR and you will see real vitriol.

 

who needs rear doors? not even a p1 is common enough to have rear doors,,,,

 

My first version 5 Type R was imported new in 1998 and had full history and it looked awesome too ftw

 

You can keep your electric windows, rear wiper, fancy mirrors and long ratio gearbox
Real men don't need those luxuries

 

i would have two extra doors is considerably more luxary,,,,,

 

I've currently only got one extra door as the lock is busted in the rear passenger one
