Hey guys , just want to say hi !!

Just got myself a 2002 Axis 2.5 2wd and loving it .

Been the owner of a 2001 STI Wagon for a few years , needed something bigger for my 2 dogs and what better than a Stagea .. man they are huge !!

Havent looked back , smoother more comfy, quiet and seems to be of good build Quality.

Really wanted the Axis and what a mission to find one for sale ..

Cheers James

Welcome James, is that the VQ25dd? I don't believe that the turbo came out in 2WD.

How responsive is it?

I would assume that the fuel economy is fantastic.

(sorry, always been curious about that engine for some reason :) )

Hi Jamie ,

Thanks for the welcome ;)

I have the non turbo 2wd model , no i dont think the Turbo was out in 2wd either. After driving the Sti for a few years i just wanted something that was roomy , comfortable and not a turbo , done the Turbo thing now for years , i guess im getting older !!

I really wanted the 3.0 Axis but was even harder to find so after a test drive settled on the 2.5

Its quite responsive , gets to 120 with ease and is good off the lights , not a rocket mind like the Sti but is more than enough.

The gas i was worried about being a big car and only 2.5 but after a fill of 95 Ron i got 650Kms to the tank , i think thats pretty good for all round driving :ermm:

Cheers james

ahh NZ people, lucky you can get virtually any car you want :)

congrats on the nice car. silver ay?? good choice :)

Thanks mate :) yep its silver .. was a bugger to find though , i thought i might have had more luck finding a Gold nugget in the middle of a downtown sidewalk !!

Yep NZ is ripe with jap imports but the new shape stagea is still quite rare
