Basic Turbo or VR6
#32
7 or so years ago,I was faced with the same decision
At that time I had G60 Corrado and test drove a VR6 Golf before opting for a 96 UK Impreza,which to be honest wasn't all that much quicker or fun to drive.
If it were me I'd try and find a decent VR6 Corrado,if theres any left?

Turbo 2000 has 215bhp, 0-60 in 5.6 and 0-100 in 15.87
A nice appreciable difference especially as the scoob is cheaper to insure (yes I had a corrado VR6) and much easier to modify....my turbo 2000 gets to 100 in just under 10secs with bolt on mods. Depends what exactly you are looking for in a car as they are like chalk and cheese really!

The Corrado 0-100 is 15.9, not 18.09. 60 in 6.2 check evo. The Corrado only has minimal drivetrain losses whereas the turbo has 4wd losses.

had a vr6 golf and a corrado(16v 2.0) many years ago,not to metion a rather nice 16v golf but i can say none come close speed wise to a scoob.now....if i had around 5 g's to spend you could'nt go far wrong with a vr6 corrado,if you could find a good one.yes, not as fast as a scoob but it will never lose money(One thing an impreza's very good at)turn heads and still go fairly quick also should be just as reliable as a 5 grand subaru
