someone convince me this would be a bad idea....

hod rod chesil

i know there are a load of reasons but having them listed by rational petrolheads will help me with this potential impulse purchase...

[G0ldfysh]

looks nice on the surface though

hmm I'm not helping much am I.

Part of me likes the look of it, loves the idea but "Beetle Chassis" and "300 bhp" in the same sentence kind of suggest it would be a very good way to terrify or injure yourself, no discernible rollover protection, plastic body etc, plus its ten grand at the moment.

Would need to drive it as, it may be fantastic, well sorted and handles the power well, or it could be horrific and dangerous.

[thinfourth2]

yes its a bad idea you could have a nice sensible golf in resale grey for the same money


Did that help?

Nice car , all depends on the price . Not keen on the colour but I could live with it.
Might be a few nice evenings to enjoy it before it is too late

It'd sound wrong.

It'd sound wrong if they replace a boxer 4 with... a boxer 4?

Why?

my thoughts entirely - I doub't its one for the twisties - you'd have to keep it in a straight line

but off the lights?

They sounds pretty much nothing alike.

It'd sound like a Subaru.

Granted that the induction noise is different, but that's really a turbo versus non-turbo thing. The offbeat exhaust noise is just a little louder on a subaru than on a porsche...

Still offbeat but nothing like the same

Oh buy it anyway becasue you know you want to

[Bolognese]

I like that

[Snoop Bagg]

All that worries me about a subaru motor is the fact most have been ragged to death. Not only that but they are an utter pain in the arse to work on. You need a tool box full of "special" tools.

Edited to add that I do like the concept!

[snuffle]

If you want it then buy it.

It's better to regret buying a car than to regret not buying one.
