Anyone have experiance with a Legnum VR4?

[goldenvtr]

im 95% sure im going to buy one, but now im at the stage im trying to look for all the bad points.


this will be replacing my daily driven paseo for several reason:
1. i now have a baby
2. its slow as shit lol
3. i need somthing i can use to trailer my other 2 cars to trackdays

basically i know there pretty bad on MPG but at an easly achevable 300bhp im happy to live with bad economy.

so, has anyone driven/owned one? plase pass on yours thoughts.

bear in mind my other 2 cars are a 362 bhp starlet GT and a 269bhp eunos roadster so i like my power to weight ratios lol

ps itll most likly be an auto vr4 as the manuals are rare and more expensive


for those that might not know what they are:

2.5 v6 twin turbo roughly 280bhp stock:

Kelly posted last week so she might be worth a PM Danno.

I haven't any Mitsubishi experience. I know the equivalent Toyota would be a Caldina GT. They are a nice wagon too.

I drove one a few years back and loved it, there unbelievabley nice to drive and have plenty of poke, loads of space too!

yeha ben and kelly had one for a bit, engine died in it, they then put a replacment engine in and sold it - i know it drank fuel! but had loads of room!

gearbox are ment to be a weak and expensive to repair in the autos.
cool wagon though!
looking at Stageas the last few months myself!

yer it would prob be a stagea that i would pick if i wanted a fast estate. Caldinas are overpriced, legnums can be unreliable (apparently) but stageas are rock solid and very well priced.
