I need a new car....

[Ivan141]

dont be silly, they would never sell enough cars to stay in business that way..
Ever heard about the subaru impreza, it's a crappy fwd sedan, only the blue 4wd turbo's are so popular around here that you see those more often than the regular-ass types. 4wd legacy's are pretty rare though.. most of them are the regular model over here.

Turbo'ed ones are as expensive as the impreza's and very very rare...however I do believe most have 4WD (aka useless in Holland and higher fuel consumption)

[EE80Liftback]

No Ivan is right, most of the Legacy's are 2WD as well...

There's a 4WD parked next to a bar at the beach near the Scheveningen boulevard... That's probably the only Legacy in the Netherlands that actually uses it's four wheel drive features on a regular basis, however, the paint looks like shit because of all the salt.

Sorry, badly offtopic...

Congrets Bstiaan!

What you need is a Lexus IS200! And when it gets too booring -> TTE compressor

If you want something cheaper I would go for a Carina E, like Knudsen and I :wink:

Jan,

I love the IS200!! But I fear its slightly out of my budget possibilities...

[Jan Pedersen]

How much is an IS in NL?

[banpei]

10k+

For a second hand one with many miles!!!

Crappy thing was that I almost had the chance to buy one for much less from work because my collegue was smart enough to drive one in a ditch last winter. Not much damage but the electronics got wet and so did some of the interiour, so the car needed a good clean and some stuff replaced. Was very tempted...

im a bit confused, on the first page there is a portrait of mux becoming a family man, on the second page there is alot of talk about him wanting to take good care of the family and needing a nice, safe car for the job. However on this page people are listing 300hp turbo monsters, that have just about more thrust than a space shuttle. So which is it?

[Mux213]

Apolan,

Safe family car. Hachi will be for job. 300hp turbo cars are just dreaming

IS200 is not a 300hp turbo car mate, its a serious family car, just a tad bit pricy to buy and maintain. But I've driven the one we had as a company car a few times and man, those cars are very cool, they look good, are representive, safe to drive, etc.. The station version would be even better, but its just way out of my budget I fear..
