If you want to do any modification to a legacy at all get a Rev C.

Rev Ds have det issues.

They are a cool touring car type and the wagons are FANTASTIC daily drivers/multipurpose vehicle.

Still got a little get up and boogie too.

If you want a car to track / modify the feck out of then steer clear.

If you want a car to leave stock and maintain/enjoy driving then im a big supporter.

Why would u get a rev C if you were to do light mods? the rev d has a reflashable ecu that can be tuned by open source, or u can pay for ecutek and go out to 190kw atw with a simple reflash

is the point of this new 'daily' not to be a money pit and mod? or am i getting the flavour all wrong?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

awww you know that once the mod bug bites it bites hard......

[petrolheadjman]

That's what a daily is for. for example funky hasn't modded his daily.....yet

[EJ20T]

I thought it was for a decent daily driver, then people are talking about single turbos etc?????

[funkytown]

never will

[DRFVDR]

yeah he cant get many mods for the MTB

as for the 3.0 i am sure a nice exhaust would be mint

Just got my AA check back and the bottom line on it says "this car drives like a pig"

am I being over sensitive? or is this exteremly un-professional and wrong?

I did ask what he was refering to, and he said the suspention was too hard. Im fuming about it!

[Kiwi_Fozze]

suspension too hard? um... wtf?

[Jammasta]

It's subjective. And it likely does if it's not your type of car etc etc.

Would of been better to phrase it in a different way. Too hard for road use. Or solid ride.

IMO, you perhaps should have told the potential buyer that you have issues with AA checks (as many people have pointed out they are pretty good at missing things) and gone to a Subaru specific garage/tuner. In saying that this advice is not really that helpful seeing as a) you have already had it done, and b) you are in Taupo and I don't know if there is a Subaru specific garage there.

I do think that is an unprofessional thing to have written and you should perhaps ask the manager to rew-word it in a more professional way?

[gazzy2000]

yea i'd take the report to them and ask to change it to 'rides firm' or 'really sporty feel', just coz he was prolly an old douche with sore prostate..

[Kiwi_Fozze]

it was actually written? my god thats unprofessional

[RAYDEO]

[gazzy2000]

ahahaha, thats funny, fukin old douches!

[ODB]

LOL

you have to laugh.

Thats totally subjective and not relevant to the inspection-the CONDITION of the vehicle is the key point they are examining.

The prospective buyer has surely already driven it and decided he likes it so i would not worry too much.

[RAYDEO]

The buyer hasn't driven it or even seen it in person,

Christ if I can sell Clubsub to a company like bluebridge or mcdonalds then you'd think I can sell a car to a Subaru lover, thesis bloody hard work!

[G-unit]

havent read all this thread but its hard even buying a car from a chinese guy who doesnt understand what a bank cheque is and wants cash instead and im buying his mates car who is in china so i would have a cheque from the bank in the owners name but noooo he doesnt understand lol

[Scoobydoo]

That's just ridicules, I'd take it to the manager and get them to change it. That is not a real description.
