aspire to have a subaru instead of your 240sx?

i'm conducting a survey.

Flicktitty · 12-21-2008, 08:19 PM

a subie would be soo nice to have up here this time of year.

ayuaddict · 12-21-2008, 08:20 PM

no, I bought a 240sx because it is the car I wanted.

LongGrain · 12-21-2008, 08:23 PM

x2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would rather have a evo or maybe a clean sc, or a chaser. But then again those are way out of the price range of a 240.

**Phlip** · 12-21-2008, 08:26 PM

I have my 240SX because it is what I wanted.
I actually want a Subaru to DAILY, but not in the place of the 240SX.

Also...

Moved to polls

YoungGun · 12-21-2008, 08:27 PM

I had a 240, then I got a Subaru, a nice one too, then I got another 240 wtflol.

Oh yeah RWD>AWD IMO of course.

my apologies, i did not even know we had a separate section for polls!

allntrlundrgrnd · 12-21-2008, 08:31 PM

i wanted a wrx for a while but price+insurance for 240>wrx

LongGrain · 12-21-2008, 08:33 PM

this is NOT about price.

assume they cost the same

did you buy a 240sx because it was the car you WANTED, or would you rather have a subaru.

no trick questions, its very simple.

Dustxking · 12-21-2008, 08:41 PM

I love my 240 only because i love the sport. But if i was to pic a daily i would mostly go with a subie just because in the NW it sucks thsi time of year to have a slammed dd so i have to find rides to work when its snowing.

***Future240*** · 12-21-2008, 09:06 PM

If they cost the same I would pick a 240 over a subie, I think a kouki looks waay sexier than a subie.

palmdale_mob · 12-21-2008, 09:24 PM

240's all the way

Z33dori · 12-21-2008, 10:13 PM

i want a Sti... but i wouldn't take one over a 240..

now i would def take sti over evo tho

LongGrain · 12-21-2008, 10:25 PM

thank you guys for the responses

zorak · 12-21-2008, 11:11 PM

i just bought my 5th 240.

i'm happy when it works and when it doesn't I wish I would have bought an sti.

Matej · 12-21-2008, 11:28 PM

To be honest I always thought my car was an STi, until someone at the WRX meet told me it was a 240.

soreballz · 12-22-2008, 12:01 AM

Jesus, I'm only the second person to vote for the Scooby. lol
32 members so far have said they bought the 240 because it is the car they wanted... I bet at least 25 of you bought it because you were too fucking broke to get something better, but you wanted a cheap "drift" car. lol

I always hated 240's. Then I blew the motor in my Celica, and needed a new car. I was trying to get another Celica (AllTrac), but the one I wanted sold before I could get to it, so I settled for my current S13. I HATED this car when I first bought it, but its really grown on me.

I WOULD have an '04 STi instead of this piece of shit 240 if I wasn't so poor. lol

TCtrackrunner · 12-22-2008, 12:26 AM

240sx 110%

chibo · 12-22-2008, 02:24 AM

Yep. I'd rather have almost anything other than the 240, but I am too broke to trade cars right now.

DreamN · 12-22-2008, 03:24 AM

Some are very nice. Just recently I saw one of the new Legacy sedans and that caught my eye. I wouldn't mind having one, but I'm not searching for one to buy though.

Mister.E · 12-22-2008, 03:58 AM

i sold my suby to buy my 180

we are only allowed to own a limited number of cars over here or i would have kept both. drifting caught my eye and decided to switch rides. the 180 was the only RWD that i would have considered buying at the time so i picked it up. im overall happy with the switch, but WRX's are fun as fuck when the snow rolls into town

stiizy · 12-22-2008, 07:54 AM

I think i'm ass backwards i have a Subaru but i want a 240 but not to replace my subie i want an S14 for a DD.....

Be prepared though everything on a subie is expensive Mods, Repairs and they eat gas (Turbo models) i fill up the STi 3-4 times a week

nismo racer · 12-22-2008, 09:57 AM

I once way back in the day almost bought a subie before the 240 but stuck with the nissan and I'm happy with my choice.

RedStage · 12-22-2008, 11:24 AM

had multiple S13's before I returned to the states in 2003. 2005 I picked up a WRX that was nicely moded.

I returned to Japan and could not find a decent GD WRX for a decent price and ended up getting my S14.

I love S-chasis...but I miss my WRX terribly.

I'm hoping to end up in an STi Wagon in the future...damn GG models are hard to get ahold of...might break down and get a sedan

*wangan_cruiser* · 12-22-2008, 11:31 AM

ill grab a subaru for DD.

but i love my 240 over my subbie
