2. so versatile, can fit anything and everything in it.

3. the leather and dual sunroofs

4. tuneability

umm a Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 hands it to Stageas with a stick in the looks department.

No offence but you can't argue with that:

2.5L twin turbo 4wd to boot too, and from what I've read a better car to drive, handling ( has AYC like an Evo), Interior is far superior, blah blah

^^notice he didn't use the rear shot?

:pwned:

Yeerrr your riggght it makes me what to loose my lunch instantly... mate suck my balls.

This is infinately better

Pffft

They are both wagons.. so it's harder off the bat to look good. To say that a stagea is in a different league when considering the rear is a joke.

FW bias < RW bias any day

It may have a slight fw bias I think that With the goodies AYC etc it handles great put suspension on and your laughing. Not to mention WRC prefer a fw bias but thats getting waaay off topic. Don;t fool your slef with your wagons rw bias... what are you going to go sliding in a 4wd ?

Anyway. An importer who has driven both has said that the mitsu is a better drive and HANDLES better.

this is a Stagea section conrad, not a Legnum section

wtf kind of response are you after?

after all, your opinion and someone elses opinion wont necessarily = the same opinion.

personally I think the legnum sucks goat coch, but what I think obviously doesnt matter, does it?

this dealer you spoke of, did he/she discuss with you the expansive/expensive problems Legnums have with their tranny boxes? mild mods to the Stagea, such as a higherflowing turbo (how they should have come standard!) and swaybars with big meaty shock absorbers, would definately change this dealer friends opinion. 100% guaranteed.

but meh, so what. opionions count for nothing

Yeerrr your riggght it makes me what to loose my lunch instantly... mate suck my balls.

Dude, how about a nice cold drink of chill the f**ck out?

Opinions are like arseholes buddy, everyone has one, and some people like to show theirs on the internet.

I know I do, but it doesn't mean you need to kick it for me :pwned:

Dry ur eyes princess, not everyone is gonna agree with you on everything.

The question was put " what other wagons besides a 300c look as cool as a stagea? " so I answered.

I'm a Nissan man... though lets face it there Are better looking wagons, and that was the farking question. Opinions are well opinions... but if we took an aggregate collections of votes on which was more aesthetically endowed then you'd have the Leggie come out on top 90%. Just face it.

That's great that you like stageas (they are great cars).. and the fact that their looks make you feel giddy is ace, enjoy it.

Standard they are better handling cars.. that's what I've heard.. so I won't take it as gospel. But it's reason enough to warrant thought.

Aftermarket... well... likewise... how much money do you wanna spend at both?

Apologies if you took it as kicking you.. I was just saying I couldn't disagree more. Suck my balls was more figure of speech, it didn't translate obviously.

You used the vomit icon when comparing the rear end and when I post a pic of both up.. I think it's clear for all, that besides that they look bloody similar because they are both a farking wagon.. you couldn't call either of them far superior from each other... buts that's all arseholes/opinions.

I just took the your approach as not even seeing the picture.

That said. I didn't want to start a debate on which car you can jerk off to more.. I'll save that for another time and thread.

The First question remained, and I simply said yes I think there are other contenders.

true 'dat.

I guess we all have our reasons for owning "enter brand name/type here" said vehicle.

I for one wanted a skyline for the rb25 powah but a) couldnt fit (too tall) and b) need room for pram and kids.

stagea was the obvious choice. on a budget too (ie under 20k), couldnt find anything else at the time that offers the same or better "bang for buck"..... if only I could get a 3.0l twin turbo Supra wagon !!!

legnum's have only been recently ADR compliance approved, they wern't an option when a lot of the lads here in this sau stag section got their stagea's.

umm, Audi RS4 Avant?

BMW M5 Estate?

jus sayin....

lol yeh i forgot those ones.

Yeah look, the stagea is a great practical car that has far more performance than anything local.. and your right we do each have our own differences. I'll leave it there to not further rumble the nest.

Oh and damn you must be tall to not fit into a skyline

Supra estate.. lol.

personally I think the legnum sucks goat cock

lol

my thoughts exactly

so your 12.

ah ok.

f**k some people need to chill out :laughing-smiley-014:

i bought a stagea, but not cos of the looks. you can only get so much from a car

haven't got the bastard yet, but i'm hoping i'll like the ability to chuck my DH bike in the back (hopefully.. without taking the wheels off ....), the ability to go on sick holidays with lots of swag :lol:.. and still have fun in it...

Edited by jasevr4

I like mine cause its the only RED one Ive seen yet. [edit] In a Series 2 I mean

Oh yeah, there's the Leather interior, dual sunroofs, and the mirrors fold in when you lock it. I am a simple man with simple needs. I love it.

*rush's off to toilet for "quiet time alone*

and yes, I am 13

haha...

As for conrad, I think its a little unfair your comparing kitted cars in your pics, to a stock as a rock s1 stagea.

As for what I love about mine -

[s2] The woodgrain

[s2] Steering wheel shifting (ton of fun)

Leather seats (we've had this argument before, I like em' :thumbsup:)

Dual Sunroofs

Turbo spool just sounds awesome

It feels bulletproof

After driving a friends Sr20 180.. realised just how smooth it is

:) around a corner in the wet

And just the room inside, I won't have to sell it when I start a family :thumbsup:

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
