tiger Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hello everyone, I have done alot of research on the internet to find a reliable all wheel drive performance car and have narrowed the choice down to a Nissan Skyline R32 GTR or a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. All I intend to use the car for is work and daily driving. I need to know which one of these cars is the most reliable and the easiest to maintain. I plan to take great care with the car that I buy and only use the performance when necessary. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hello welcome, 1st off the gtr will be approaching 20 + years old so unless it's fresh off the boat you'll have usual issues as rusty areas to battle with. That 2.6L goes through fuel like noting else especially when pushing on, not sure about maintenance as i only know people who have had them never worked on one, how far is your daily commute ? you have the need for 4 doors and decent rear space ? Then scooby all the way, should be less to maintain due to being half the age, I'd say the subaru has the edge over every day drivability too. It will also be safer due to more recent rigorous crash legislation. Trying to give an Un biased view here as they are both cracking cars the 32 is one of my all time favourite motors. I'd say get to some meets see and have a ride in both then make your decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 cant go wrong with either car - but the Scooby will be an easier day to day car as Stants recommended get a test drive in both and make your choice based on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop-y Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If it is needed for daily drive get the Scooby. Nissans are good cars but the R32 is a bit thirsty. I have had a 200SX ( stage 3 with 325 horses) it consumed a lot ( 20+L /100Km ~14mpg ) The R32 four wheel drive system is a bit different from the Scooby`s because the R32 is a FWD when its not required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for the replies. My daily commute is only a 15 minute drive and yes I need the 4 doors and rear space purely for storage. The Impreza is perfect for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
