gav Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Check out the Mitsubishi Legnum Estate, it's has a 2.5 litre engine, with twin turbos, it's an import and is the quickest estate I've ever driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 You can pick up an old RS2 for decent money nowadays. Porsche tuned Audi estate icon. Yeah there are a couple in the autotrader at reasonable money. I know that I am not ever going to get supra performance out of an estate car unless I flog out for a nearly new audi RS4 or a brabus tuned AMG merc. I don't have the cash for that sort of mullarkey. A skyline would be considered but I really do like my Estates and find them considerably more usefull than any saloon car I have ever owned. My mates MX3 was more useable and practical than my bigger sierra saphire was. If you want to bung a couple of suitcases in the boot and thats it then a saloon is great but if you want to bung bigger bulkier items in then you need a hatch. Also I want serious comfort in my car so if I was going to compromise and get a saloon I would look at a lexus before a nissan any day of the week. Is the legnum estate faster than the galant then as I allready had that written off as too slow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Is the legnum estate faster than the galant then as I allready had that written off as too slow? I raced against a Legnum at Santa Pod. I'd never even heard of them before that. It beat me off the line but I just about beat him before finish line. I think I got a 13.6 and he was only about a length behind me. I spoke to the guy afterwards and he was apparently surprised that he'd been beaten by a Supra. So they must be pretty rapid. I'd consider one if I needed an Estate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Legnum is just JDM speak for Galant estate - both Galant and Legnum are as slow as each other unless they are VR-4s, which means 4WD and turbos. I had a quick go in one a few years ago when Mitsubishi UK imported them officially and I was trying to persuade my Aunt to buy one. Very nice car, surprisingly fast - always had a soft spot for the VR-4, and excellent value for money, especially pre-facelift cars. DB, I feel like I'm in the same boat as you in terms of not using the Soop. Seriously considering a V300 - Mark 1s can be had for around £4.5k, which I reckon is a steal, though not ideal for you as you like estates. I've always been intrigued by the Nissan Stagea, might be worth a look (though I just saw that you've crossed this one off your list!).

Makes a skylines interior look stylish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
