Legnum Vr4

[jakez88]

^^ lolz i reckon the front is bad and the rear is normal i guess for a wagon. r34 gtr front fixes that up though but then again a legnum/galant looks good as stock.

Um, stagea is only 1680kg's, and not over 1700kgs as previously stated.

I used to own a stagea, and I have spent a bit of time in Mitch's as both passenger and driver. Now *dons flamesuit* I have to say that I would prefer the leggy myself. The thing is, the stagea is NOT a sports car and never will be - its a luxo barge. The leggy FEELS much lighter when you are driving it, it has a bucket load more kick from a standing start and the triptronic is light years ahead of the stagea IMO. I also dont believe that you can point at them and say they have crap gearboxes. I think, also as previously stated, that it is more of a maintenance issue than a reliability issue, but no matter what car it is, ALL imports share the same risks in this area.

A S2 ("facelift" model) S type would be my pick - but def try and get the hi-vis dash at a minimum. They are teh shizz.

leggy > stag

1680kg.. is that the factory listed weight? as in the dry weight?

or is that what you saw on a weigh bridge.

just curious.

I was under the impression they were around the 1730kg.

[zoomzoom]

my rs4 with 2 sunroofs weighs in at 1690kg. im not sure how much fuel was in the tank but it wouldnt have been near empty

[TTT]

RS4 is kinda in a slightly different price range.. lol..

legnum > stagea > caldina

apparently they are laggy as shit too... and look butt ugly.

leggy comes in at 1560kg too, but it is physically smaller than the stagea, inside and out.

[jakez88]

yeh not a big fan of the caldina either...the shape doesn't look right...reminds me of a extended toyota starlet...the newer one is o.k but then i think i would want a m35 instead.

M35 > EC5W > WGNC34 > ST215W

my lineup is a bit different...

EC5W > WGNC34 Series 1 > M35 > WGNC34 Series 2 > ST215W

the S1 stag's can look awesome with a good set of rims and lowered.. the S2's are just ugly all the time.

lolz man i'm considering if i sell the r32...if not a legnum i will buy a galant...i like the practicality of it. heaps of space, power and rare. maybe if i can find a good priced manual i might get one.

[mitchy_]

eww, i dont like the rear end of the galants.

plus, quick wagon's are soooo much cooler.. nothing like blowing people away in a 'magna wagon'

imho the back end of both the cars isnt the greatest, although the front end of the legnum is , although generally speaking i rekon gallants are feral

[mitchy_]

i saw it and wanted one, didnt know wtf it was.

black one in NZ with dark gold rims, angled pic.. do you know the one kristian?
