You're asking a slightly biased crowd. What purpose will this car serve?

I guess my bias is showing. If you are going to drive it into the ground, buy a Legacy, If you have a 20 mile commute, buy the SVX. ( we gotta protect them) all them other cars are 'forign' cars and can be used up.

i'd say the Audi or Mitsu, because if all are priced equal, the SVX is WAAAAAAAY overpriced.

Didn't you just spend a fortune to make your SVX as you wanted? If so, why would you sell it, and buy another SVX? Doesn't make much sense. I'd buy the 3000gt, because i have 2 SVX's and a legacy already, and I've always wanted a 3000gt.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

As a daily driver I think an RA 5MT SVX will be absolute death on gas. Audi gets my vote.

the svx, subarus run forever, mistubishi's will cost you as much as a carpayment in repairs. and the audi will triple your car payment in repair bills.
i'm not biased i just hate vw/audi with a massive passion
