Choice for new daily? Turbo/wagon/manual

[Oxer]

is this a rhetorical question ? get a subaru wagon and call it a day or lexus is altezza wagon

why dont you stick to the thread dedicated to you in the off topic section?

a well maintained rb25 is a pretty bulletproof option.

Considering there are many options to modify rb's and make decent power, and for the legnums there arent, a stag is a better option.

Still doesnt meet the requirements for a daily lol. In a perfect world I'd daily the vl on boost everywhere.

Actually I am pretty much sold on the stag. Even though the legnum has more power and does look a little better. The stag is sounding like a more viable option for me. Have been looking and so far have found a few that look the goods. There is a perfect white one up in Queensland but no idea how I would get it down here.

want it to be sub 100,00k's, manual and as stock as possible. Stock body anyway. Not keen on any body kits or anything.

The only stag worth buying is the 26.

Buy a stag

fak legnums are starting to grow on me a lot after reading this thread now

Passat b5.5 1.8t wags, not sure how many manuals in AUS.
tdi would be ideal for cruiser/trip car, but never see them in AUS

Not sure what the b6/b7s go for these days

If you don't want turbo what about a BMW 5 series wags? can get them dirt cheap and have all the luxury bits

I need it to be AWD and want the turbo just for a bit of extra fun. Plus never owned a turbo car so am keen for some boost

The audi's are around the $18k+ mark and are a bit too 'nice' for what I want to use it for.

Will be a daily so want it to be reasonably comfortable with plenty of boot space. But am also going to be taking it on surf trips where it will be going onto dirt roads which can get muddy hence why I want AWD for that little bit of extra grip when needed. Car won't be going low. Actually thinking of putting it on the smallest wheels (that still clear the brakes) and putting all terrain tires on

Want manual because I don't think I could enjoy an auto. Auto's are so boring to drive (in most cases)

yeh and caldinas arnt money pits haha, mates had his for 6? years now and its never failed him, only costs have been general maintenance items.

[RBT]

Exactly.

Hey oxer I have dropped money for mods that I chose to do, when the car was stock it ran like a dream and the only money I dropped was for fuel. Stop being an angry kent.looooooool

Mike you can check out my legnum if you want. The Stagea's are ugly as fuck unless you get the rb26 model $$$$$$$ Personally the only thing good about the Stagea rb 25 is the availability of performance engine parts.

Let me know if your keen on the VR4 I can give you shit loads of info, a tour and a drive.

Will let you know. Won't e buying for about another few weeks at least so plenty of time to Suss them out. Thanks for the offer

[USDMem1]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I am still leaning more towards the stagea at this stage. Mainly due to the accessibility of replacement parts and (if needed) ease of good power gains.

The legnum does indeed look better in my opinion though.

The caldina is not my cup of tea to be honest and the Audi sounds like it could be a bit out of my price range. Haven't Sussex out the Volvo yet though.

I actually like the land barge box look of the stagea lol
