Grey import Estates??

[ian2144]

I have been looking at Estates on and off for a while now. Legacy / legnum or Forester, I now hear there is a Nissan Estate called the Stagea RS. Any one here got one??? your views please.

i havent got one, but they are bloody huge with bits of R33 Skyline in them.

quite sleek looking for an estate, too. Almost all are automatic.

I have a Legnum VR4.
Fantastic but fuel consumption is rather poor

Have a look here http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/general-stagea-chat.html 

It's a Stagea section of GTR.co.uk

Oh and if possible go for the Autech version, basically a Skyline GTR estate so loads of potential power available

There really is only two options in my opinion when looking for a jap estate..

one is the stagea the other the legnum

But as the stagea looks like a fridge freezer on wheels the twin turbo 280bhp legnum gets picked every time im afraid.. In fact since moving back from Australia ive been thinking of buying one myself

But i am sure you will not be disappointed with either car

Stageas and VR4s are among the few cars to make a twin-turbo Legacy seem economical. Even the 2.5NA Stagea guzzles more fuel than a turbo Scoob, while being quite a bit slower. 1700Kg is not your friend.

Depending on budget etc, I'd be looking for a later single-turbo (2003 onwards iirc) Legacy nicer power delivery and simpler to work on than the twin-turbo versions, still 280 bhp.

Evo IX Estate! There have been a couple brought in now, i think someone is creating a model report for them.

They also do the lazy IX GTA Auto version
