well guys with a baby on the way i need to sell the exige and come back to subaru world, the question is which one do i go for?
i am asking you guys for help in deciding, i should sell the exige for around 26k so my options are:

new 08 sti (UK)
new 08 sti (JAP)
rb320
spec c
spec c type ra
standard 07 sti with tsl/psatation upgrade and 7k spare cash.

please put the above in what you would think to be the best order

thnx for your help

New 08 STi UK and Jap - No because it looks like a Proton/Mazda 3/BMW 1 Series/Ford Focus

Spec C and Spec C Type RA - Baby on the way maybe a bit too raw, getting close to the Exige on the RA.

RB320 or 07 Sti with upgrades - It would be the 07 Sti with upgrades if it were my choice.

rb320 or 07 and spare cash imo

carlpcross

the rb320 is a lovely car, but i do like the interior on the new 08 sti, especially the recaro leather seats.
anyone else got an opinion?

mmmmmmm im thinking of going the other way......how does the exige compare power wise to an sti????????


rb320 or sti with tsl upgrades would be my choice......

RB320 for me

gordyra r

id go sti 07 ra or ra r is too hardcore and way too harsh a ride nice grey 07 with remap

RB320!!

the exige is so much more fun than an sti, its a car you really need to drive, you dont get away with being lazy.
although you cant really compare power to an sti, its just a totally different car, would recomend it to anyone.

carlpcross

lots of votes for the rb320,
anymore??

07 plus few mods to put it on par with the rb320 as 07 have seem to come down in price then pocket the 7k cash mate, not knowing your money position but you have a kid on the way so always nice to have a little nest egg to fall back on if need be.

even consider buying a old mk2 golf gti or e30 strip it out and have a cheap track day toy for less than a grand.

i would def go with the 07. with the mods you could have more or less the same car and cash in hand aswell. although i would have thought the rb320 would devalue less.....

Spec C....

If you can handle raw, get the Spec C RA.

If not, and dare to be different, the 08 STi with a few subtle mods is lOOking tastey.

If I had the money then I would go for the RB320 with leather.

The best Car would be the Spec C RA-R but may be a bit raw for most. In that case I'd go for the more comfortable S204 or a Type 25 A-line/Spec D

But bar far the best UK car is the RB320 although I still find it over priced IMHO

the rb 320 is looking good.
i have found a couple with 3/4k miles going for around £26k, does that sound about right?

Looking on AutoTrader it seems about right, but make sure it has the leather seats!

carlpcross

if i go for one i will make sure it has.

ISLANDMAGEEZER!

Have to say the RB320 would do it for me!!!! And you get leather seats if the package is right! Wish i had a delema like that

GlesgaKiss

Me too. Although surely the 07 Sti with all that spare change is surely a good idea? Hawkeye's are stunning IMO.

carlpcross

as standard, the sti seems to work out around £8k cheaper the the rb320.
the rb320 does look v.nice though.
