P1's are notorious for engine failure but sling in a reliable rebuilt engine and you have a near perfect combination of style and performance. Subaru ownership is a funny old buisness, doesn't always make much sense, crap build quality,crap fuel econemy....BUT the SOUND of a tuned flat four boxer engine, sweet!
Now you can talk about a 2 door bmw e46 with all the bells and whistles......leather blah de blah , reversing parking aids ,But it it will never have that soundtrack. Nicer looking? It's all a matter of taste/age but seriously,
a bog standard e46 bmw ,even a 2 door coupe, against a P1/TYPE R ......SORRY NO CONTEST!
