What's it for? What's your budget? Have you tried both?

As much as I love my 3000GT I'd go for a WRX over a N/A GTO everytime. Get the TT version if you are going to get a GTO.

budget about £3000 want it for weekend car to spend some time and money on so dont know if i want performance or show been offered a mint gto n/A with new cambelt ,tensioners, water pump and pulleys new clutch,brake lines,shocks,caliper kit and tyres for £1750 which would leave me enough to get interior done in red/black leather .

GTOs are a big, heavy barge with a reputation for being competent but uninvolving. Drive both, see what you prefer - my money would be on the Subaru.

It al comes down to how you like the car. If it's a weekend car, then I guess petrol costs could be kept low. I personally would take the Impreza as the GTO feels a bit lardy (I've only driven a GTO for about 2 hours, never driven an Impreza though).

IIRC, the Impreza's about half a tonne lighter than the GTO and prob a lot simpler and cheaper to maintain. I know which I'd go for...

Just remember moding is all about the individual taste .So it has to be up to you i like the look of the gto but i would go for the tt gto my self but thats my taste.

I could'nt buy an N/A if i knew the existence of a turbo version. Thats like eating strawberrys with no cream!

sorry ph ers most of you advised me against it but brought gto this weekend not burgandy one didnt like colour got black one some history new s/s exhaust ,cam belt ,alloy and tires ,clifford cat 1 alarm imob,4 months tax and a full valet and a years mot for £1550 i didnt think that was bad pick up next sat thanks for all your replys .

seems pretty cheap, im sure you will enjoy it but its not much of a handler and a non-turbo just doesnt have the power that the car looks like it should have.

Just curious why would you want to spend money modding such a car?? Surely at
some point you are going to want more performance.

im more into looks and with all the cameras about these days need my licence to much and am interested in show more than speed but cant afford to much so a little each month that way i get some thing to do as and when i can afford ,it and wife loves gto say no more, never had time before so it all seems right .i do know what your all saying but not seen many gtos about thanks .
