The driver :D :D :D |
If you can't buy one, it doesn't make much difference what you like. I like the price! Then comes the unique design. :) :)

Right now I'm going to say interior. The engine, while smooth, reliable, and overall a great engine, could use a few more horses. The transmission......HAHAHAhaHAHAHhAhHAh. The suspension: Could be firmed up a bit. The design? Looks good. A close 2nd. The windows? THey're alright but I don't think they 'make' the SVX. The AWD? A nice feature, but I know other marques probably have better systems out by now.
What's great is I was at a gas station with a 3000GT, and a Xj12 jag. I peeked in the windows. MAN, I love my SVX. The mitsu just looked like cheap plastic (reminded me of my earlier car). The Jag had REALLY cheap looking carpet and doors, with some nice wood to make it 'luxurious'. HA! The SVX has one of the nicest interiors I've ever seen, and cup holders be damned. :D - Rob |
I think that the SVX is a piece of ****!!:D :D Interior for me! Maybe take off 800 lbs off the total weight of the car.

i think value and design for me,
|
Yeah, I too voted design. I include the windows as part of the design, though. The interior is pretty cool... except the cheap plastic "wood" and the damn dash reflection on the windshield (I hate that). Engine is solid, but like Rob said, not enough power. AWD, also solid, but lots of other car options with it nowadays. Tranny... worst area of the SVX... no options... not designed properly for the car. Thank God that manual swaps are an option now.
I really think that the SVX doesn't have the "best" of anything compared to what else is out there... but I think most areas are pretty darn good... and the combination of these are what make the SVX so great. I mean, others cars will be faster but not handle as well... or just be plain ugly if performance is superior in every way...or be 2WD... etc. Even if another car is superior in about every area (like an S4)... does it have the uniquness (could have been a good poll option) or unique style that sets it apart and that most people would never guess is over a decade old? This sucker is just plain old cool!:D I'd still love an S4, though.:D |
I think an SVX with a 6spd, stiffer suspension, and modded engine (turbo or not) would woop the crap out of any audi. :)

other: value for the money :)
i think the interior may have been a factor in my purchase - its pretty cool! since you had tranny and headlights on the list, why weren't brakes and wheel bearings added? :p the SVX is kind of a jack of all trades, but master of none. its strongest feature may be its styling - even then you either love it or hate it. |

I vote warped rotors and bad wheel bearings... those are my favorite... next to yellowed headlights.:D I'm definitely a "love it" guy... I don't get it when people say they don't like or, "it's OK... what's with the windows? They're stupid.":mad: |

Only problem is, we need to have a 6 spd, better handling, juiced up SVX out on the road before we can compare. Hopefully your statement will come to fruition. Still won't take any Audi, though, unfortunately.:( SVXtasy has a turbo update, BTW... badass SVX, here we come!:D |
Man. I wish I had an extra SVX engine. IN a few years maybe I'll be able to afford one...but.. the engine is just such a great engine! I'd take it to a shop and see if it could be bored, and there HAS to be a lot of power to be had at the heads, unless somehow the subie designers were gods. But seriously, think of old v8s. People have been improving those heads for over THIRTY YEARS, and they STILL GET BETTER. There's no way Subaru could just nail them perfectly right off the bat.
- Rob |
True, but I think it would take a LOT of research to figure out how to improve them. I just don't think this engine is quite as straigh-forward as an older style V8. I think I would be satisfied if SVXtasy's turbo project works out well. More tweaking can be made after that... if the money can be thrown at it.
