That was a good read for the last half hour,I own a v4 type r and have never drove a p1 but when I see a p1 I look at it with the same enthusiasm as when I look at my own car!when I go for a B road blast over the lumps and bumps(Cusco coilovers) I wish I have something with a bit more of a uk suspension set up.
But then I come across a nice fresh/flat road and round abouts and I'm grinning from ear to ear again

back in the year 2000 if you wanted a uk Subaru you had the choice of a uk turbo 2000 or P1. I can't see how a comparison can be made between a type r and P1 only that they come from sti5 platform. its like trying to compare a jdm spec c with new age.
I bought a p1 because I wanted a uk car with warranty. would have loved a type r if they were readily available at the time.
good read though nearly as good as blues v villa

That about sums it up Sir everyone wanted a type r but couldn't get one so bought a watered down P1 instead.

Having driven a type R and owned a P1 for many years I can safely say I made the correct choice.
At the time it was my daily commuter and a pleasure to drive.
The Type R was a pain with such a short gearbox.
Ive said it before and I will say it again, Type R for the track, P1 for the roads.
I believe the P1 will be the more collectible in the future also, they are on the verge of jumping up in price much like the Escos did and similar rare models.
By the way, whilst I touch wood I'm on the original engine with 70k on the clock

It made a ridiculous price of £18600 on the hammer.
There really are some fools out there
