3rd Gen vs 4th Gen GTB

[drinkie9128]

In the market for a GT B. Have owned a gt-30, Impreza and 93 2.2l legacy and am wanting to get a turbo this time round.

I\'ve have been searching for info on what the main differences are and could not find much. What is the single turbo like in the 4th gen? Which one was better performance?

I have seen there are differences post 2007 in the 4th gen too, are these significant or just the "SI Drive" features.

Basically, is it worth paying the extra money for the newer shape?

Thanks!

go 4th gen, better everything no twin turbo crap, lighter, better performance, tunable ecu and what not.

This isn\'t even a decision

Go 4th gen, only reason to go for a 2nd or 3rd gen is cost (you can get them for ridic cheap if you keep your eyes peeled)

4th gen pastes 3rd in every area - drives better, uses less gas, has more potential in stock-ish form, and will hold far far better resale value for a while too

ive had mine for almost 2 years now and love it, only thing is i have auto so manual would be nice but still the h6 is soooo smooth and quick

[drinkie9128]

Can you get H6s in manual?

[gotasuby]

Yes you can and they are an amazing car

4th gen, plus the 4th gen h6 sounds AMAZING, and can be found in 6 speed too

Not the biggest fan of facelift 4th gen just too busy and going on. 3.0r b spec 6 speed wagon is the only car I\'d be looking at

facelift 2007 GT\'s were updated with the 6 speed manual box (same as in the 3.0L 4th gen). Excellent gearbox much better than the 5 speed, worth looking for. SI drive sucks IMHO. About 12 months later NZ supply of GT\'s switched to Aust spec cars with the 2.5L turbo. Down on power, single scroll turbo (vs twin scroll previously). I\'d buy a facelift if the budget stretches (I did). If nothing else, the minor styling changes make them look sharper than the pre-facelift cars. I think the facelift 4th gen is the best looking of all the legacy models past & present - I\'m biased of course!

When I got my pre facelift I preferred it to the facelift. Now I like them both in their own ways. Has to be spec b for either, otherwise just looks very uninspiring. If I was to upgrade I\'d go after the 2.0 facelift with 6speed manual

Im still a sucker for the "older" BG and BH GTBs.... kinda what i grew up with being that EVERYONE in CHCH had one back then

The BP are VERY nice, love the sound of both NA and turbo ones too. I didnt find the ones i drove too involving to drive though, but i think thats a given for most modern cars now.
