so the decision is so far either a legacy estate, legnum vr4, or a e34 540 estate manual(hens teeth..)
any opinions from experienced owners of any would be greatly valued.
my definate fave is the legnum. :sifone:
someone buy my car pleeeeeeeeeease :)

I had a galant gti many many moons ago back in my yoof! I thrashed the living daylights out of it daily and nothing broke on it bar an A.B.S sensor in the year or so i abused it! I cant think of many cars that would put up with constant teen abuse like that did? The legnums are very good cars and would get my vote............I think?
That said the Legacy is also very good?
Sorry thats not much help is it?:D
Good luck!

this looks like a good deal. any idea how easy or hard it would be to throw a manual box etc in there? seems ideal with the gas...?

That's really nice, and it would make a change to have a Subaru on here ;)
