how many of you 240sx owners...

[LongGrain]

aspire to have a subaru instead of your 240sx?

i'm conducting a survey.

[Flicktitty]

a subie would be soo nice to have up here this time of year.

[ayuaddict]

no, I bought a 240sx because it is the car I wanted.

[LongGrain]

thank you for your votes. anyone who would like to share their opinion is welcome too.

i posted this on more than one board. and so far the results are almost exactly what i expected.

[BoostedCoupe]

no, I bought a 240sx because it is the car I wanted.
x2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would rather have a evo or maybe a clean sc, or a chaser. But then again those are way out of the price range of a 240.

[Phlip]

I have my 240SX because it is what I wanted.
I actually want a Subaru to DAILY, but not in the place of the 240SX.

Also...

Moved to polls

[YoungGun]

I had a 240, then I got a Subaru, a nice one too, then I got another 240 wtflol.

Oh yeah RWD>AWD IMO of course.

[LongGrain]

I have my 240SX because it is what I wanted.

my apologies, i did not even know we had a separate section for polls!

[allntrlundrgrnd]

i wanted a wrx for a while but price+insurance for 240>wrx

[LongGrain]

this is NOT about price.

assume they cost the same

did you buy a 240sx because it was the car you WANTED, or would you rather have a subaru.

no trick questions, its very simple.

[Dustxking]

I love my 240 only because i love the sport. But if i was to pic a daily i would mostly go with a subie just because in the NW it sucks thsi time of year to have a slammed dd so i have to find rides to work when its snowing.

[Future240]

If they cost the same I would pick a 240 over a subie, I think a kouki looks waay sexier than a subie.

feel free to vote for a 240 if thats how you feel.

[Future240]

feel free to vote for a 240 if thats how you feel.

I did, though I admit, i saw a sexy black subie today. May I ask why are you conducting a survey.

[LongGrain]

no you may not

[palmdale_mob]

240's all the way

[Z33dori]

i want a Sti... but i wouldn't take one over a 240..

now i would def take sti over evo tho

[LongGrain]

thank you guys for the responses

[zorak]

i just bought my 5th 240.

i'm happy when it works and when it doesn't I wish I would have bought an sti.

[Matej]

To be honest I always thought my car was an STi, until someone at the WRX meet told me it was a 240.

[soreballz]

Jesus, I'm only the second person to vote for the Scooby. lol
32 members so far have said they bought the 240 because it is the car they wanted... I bet at least 25 of you bought it because you were too fucking broke to get something better, but you wanted a cheap "drift" car. lol


I always hated 240's. Then I blew the motor in my Celica, and needed a new car. I was trying to get another Celica (AllTrac), but the one I wanted sold before I could get to it, so I settled for my current S13. I HATED this car when I first bought it, but its really grown on me.

I WOULD have an '04 STi instead of this piece of shit 240 if I wasn't so poor. lol

[TCtrackrunner]

240sx 110%

[chibo]

Yep. I'd rather have almost anything other than the 240, but I am too broke to trade cars right now.

[DreamN]

Some are very nice. Just recently I saw one of the new Legacy sedans and that caught my eye. I wouldn't mind having one, but I'm not searching for one to buy though.

[Mister.E]

i sold my suby to buy my 180

we are only allowed to own a limited number of cars over here or i would have kept both. drifting caught my eye and decided to switch rides. the 180 was the only RWD that i would have considered buying at the time so i picked it up. im overall happy with the switch, but WRX's are fun as fuck when the snow rolls into town

[stiizy]

I think i'm ass backwards i have a Subaru but i want a 240 but not to replace my subie i want an S14 for a DD.....

Be prepared though everything on a subie is expensive Mods, Repairs and they eat gas (Turbo models) i fill up the STi 3-4 times a week

[nismo racer]

I once way back in the day almost bought a subie before the 240 but stuck with the nissan and I'm happy with my choice.

[RedStage]

had multiple S13's before I returned to the states in 2003. 2005 I picked up a WRX that was nicely moded.

I returned to Japan and could not find a decent GD WRX for a decent price and ended up getting my S14.

I love S-chasis...but I miss my WRX terribly.

I'm hoping to end up in an STi Wagon in the future...damn GG models are hard to get ahold of...might break down and get a sedan :(

[wangan_cruiser]

ill grab a subaru for DD.



but i love my 240 over my subbie

[krayzbigmac]

I'd rather have a subie, but I'm happy with my 240.

[Future240]

I think i'm ass backwards i have a Subaru but i want a 240 but not to replace my subie i want an S14 for a DD.....

I was wondering how long before you popped in here. Oly shit, you must do alot of driving to fill up that much.

[jarober]

I have had my 240 for close to six years and have loved every minute of it. I bought a wrx wagon two years ago and sold it this past summer. I want another one now. Having both is awesome. But I would not trade my 240 for a subie

[dmax_silvia_s13]

My silvia over a subaru anyday. Subaru just wouldnt be as fun or get half the looks.
The only way I would get an sti is if it was only rear wheel drive not awd.
Plus I wouldn't spend that much on a car when my silvia was way less and in my opinion nicer.

[weshole]

I would rock a Subie as a DD but never to replace my S13. RWD>AWD for the fun. AWD would be nice up here right now tho.

[murda-c]

I had a legacy shoot off from a light like a rocket next to me on a rainy night last week.

i was starting off in second, but as soon as i hit the crosswalk i had no traction.

it made me want an r32 gtr, lol.

oh no, this is definitely not about me wanting to get a subaru.

i bought a 240 because it is exactly what i wanted, running or not i wouldnt have it any other way.

i just noticed some different mindsets between different car boards that i am active on and i wanted to take this survey to compare the results.

[Charlie]

I rather daily a subie but I'm ok with the 240

[aNskY]

There are many cars i'd rather have... but a subaru is not one of them.

After 2 s14's and an s13 i'd say the 240 fits me nicely :)

[Bubba]

I have my 240SX because it is what I wanted.
I actually want a Subaru to DAILY, but not in the place of the 240SX.


+1 on that statement....

[markyboi]

i got a 240 because i wanted it.

[cxlo8331]

I have an '89 hatch for my daily for now.

I am considering picking up an is300 for a new daily.

I need something a little more low key for work.

I like the subies too, but would probably end up dumping a ton of cash into that also.

I want to keep the 13 too.

Dammit!

[Unique]

s13, its the car I wanted

[exitspeed]

I wouldn't mind one as a daily. But not as my fun car. I just love 240's.

[stiizy]

I was wondering how long before you popped in here. Oly shit, you must do alot of driving to fill up that much.

haha you know i had too get in here, yeah i do about 40 miles a day..

plus subys have small ass gas tanks

[jskateborders]

IMO I dont think there even comparable. I loved my s13, And I would actually prefer to daily an s13. And then there is drifting, If youve ever tried to drift an awd car, you know how hard it is.
But on the other hand, Id love to roll around in a subie cause chicks dig em, and then Ive also wanted to try rally for a while. Since Im in the market for a new car (last one stolen, rx7 sucks dick as daily) I was actually considering a subie, but the s13 to me has way more +'s on my list. If I could have both though, definitely.

[BustedS13]

subarus are notorious around the midwest for having cocky drivers who end up in ditches when it snows.

it's like rain. on your wedding day.

[gnozahs]

I'd get the Subaru.

[sncs14]

Couldn't afford a WRX when I bought my 240 (college budget), I'd still like to buy one too.

[beeracing s14]

subie owners have bad reputation in CA. they are ricers with brand new cars who like to burn tires and race stupidly on the freeway. Sorry if I said it. Its just that most of my "I ALMOST got to an accident" scenarios were caused by stupid Imprezas changing lanes abruptly racing civics.

[mikethebiker]

i so hate subaru owners.
and im not a fan of the motor, or their suspension for that matter

just a gay car

[MunsonAuto]

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii272/MunsonAuto/motivator2244789.jpg

One would make a nice DD i guess, but there are too many of them around here for me to even begin wanting one.

[Silverbullet]

been with 240s for half a decade. I wouldn't mind switching it up to Scooby.

[LongGrain]

i like my birkenstocks...

until i lost one when i was drunk...

[DataXUnknown]

As much as Ken Block's videos have made me want a subaru, I still am glad I have a 240sx.

[K_style]

i used to have 98 wrx... but changed to nissan S chassis back in 2003

since then i always had RWD cars... mostly 240sx

because i wanted !!!

[Freddy]

subie would be great for canadian winters but got 240sx cause i wanted one

[xplicit240]

personally i guess it depends on your living situation.

place, married or single.

but i love my 240's. subies would be nice tho for the winter. ( not saying i dont drive the 240 in the winter cause i love it )

altho im curious as to why you didnt refer to an evo? not that i like evo's anyways. lol

[Shift-240]

YEA, no evo love???

i'd get a evo over a sti anyday but my kouki is my first love

[Ailiaw]

I'd take a different car over a subie since I don't ever really go anywhere where 4wd is needed, I got an RX-8 when I sold my s14 and missed it so much that now I have a s13 and the RX-8. The 8 has just been sitting for a week while I get all the kinks in the 13 worked out. Not to mention the 8 eats horrendous amounts of gas.

I'm RWD all the way. Never owned FWD, and would only if its a 3rd or 4th car, or something I got for REALLLLLY cheap.

I've had 93 BMW 325is, 96 240sx, 95 Mustang, 93 BMW 318i, 93 BMW 525i, 04 RX-8, 89 240sx

As you can see, I have a preference for RWD.

The s13, RX8 and 525i are all still in my possesion albeit the 525 is my father but I drive it and they are all 5-spd cars with the exception of the 6-spd RX-8

[fckillerbee]

subaru's are too easy to drive. i had one. car doesn't slide unless you have power in the 400-500's. and even then....there is something about countersteer that is more fun that awd drifting. but I tell you what...that subaru saved my ass in the canyons many times. where a 240 would have crashed...awd pulls you out.

[fckillerbee]

couple years ago before i knew how to drive it. but was fun.
YouTube - hamburgs dream to be like mcrae (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxsMkmfWCmc)

[WISH ONE]

I drove a really nice Forester the other day. Coilovers, cobb turboback, and 5 speed. I must say it was nice, but Only for daily, its comfy, ac, seats 5. However for the price of that wagon(25k) Id rather have E46 M3(02) or an ls430 for a DD. Sometimes I just want to can my s13 and get an Evo or Subie...but there are way too many Douchebags in OC with them, the frustration eats me at times, but i still love my s13 and the money pit.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

I was going to trade my 240 for a 97 Legacy 2.5gt. It would have been stupid of me not to... But a couple of days ago the owner flipped it. :(

[VNG704]

You should expect the votes to lean towards the 240sx being that this forum is what it is. I live in WI and I'd still have a winter car plus the 240sx vs sube only.

[SuperSam]

240's are the shit and i love mine to the end. but i still wouldnt mind a STI... im in the middle really... i wouldnt trade mine, i just would end up hsving both...

[99maxgtr]

I would love to have a subaru for winter. But not in place of the 240.
i've always wanted a 240 since fast and furious came out.......



:ddog: j/p

[Rapier46]

both have their advantages and dis advantages.
but.

s13 ftw

[B_mart24]

240 all the way man....subies are too many too often for me...all sounds pretty much the same too

[ZilviaKid]

if my budget allowed it, i would have an 07 STi in black right now. LOVE subies!

[CoreyS13]

Oh My God, who wouldn't take a STi over a 240? Totally a no brainer.

[Matej]

Oh My God, who wouldn't take a STi over a 240? Totally a no brainer.
Yes.
I'd definitely take the Subaru.
Then I'd sell it, buy a 240, and have a bunch of money left over.

[S14TEENZ]

240 4 life

[stinky_180]

if there was a yes and no option, i would've picked that

yes, i would trade my daily driven s14 for a subara imprezza
no, i would rather keep my s13 because its the car that i want to build for scca club racing.

[LongGrain]

Oh My God, who wouldn't take a STi over a 240? Totally a no brainer.

i wouldnt

fuck an STi

if i wanted an sti i would have bought one..

[Nismo13.5]

I have had a 92 240sx hatch and 89 240sx coupe i have a 90 240sx hatchback now i love 240sx alot but i love my 300zx more.

[JeremyR]

no car could replace my 240. NO CAR. i have too much love for the 240. money could change my mind...but then i would just buy another one!

[lolatclint]

fuck subbies LUL 240 FTMFW cheap and fun

[2tone1via]

I might do it for a JDM GF8 or usdm STI converted wagon, but I still voted no.

[Shokinem]

its a toss up for me i like my 240 and iv invested to much TLC and money in it but i do love the way a subi looks when its low and has a big ass turbo but for now 240sx but subie if i didnt already have a 240 if i never got into theme i would of chose subie

[murda-c]

I reaaalllllyyyy want a corvette right now.

[93nismo]

id take the 240. but only cuz i like rwd. awd for the winter tho:P

[SlideWell]

i wanted another s-chassis. however, if i could afford a daily, id pick up a subaru

[junn]

subies are great!....but 240's and great too....just depends on what you like

[i3litzace]

subies are great for winter, but they suck at drifting, unless you do what team orange did and completely convert it to a rwd. I rather just stick with the 240 ^^. If i ever got into rally id get a subbie.

[boozels]

I have always wanted a 240 fastback.The lines have always appealed to me.
Subies are fugly.

[wh1tecoop]

240 love it. I have an EG as my first love. A xB as my family car and love to have fun in the 240 nothing out there has the sexy lines of the S13.

[mr.booie]

i have both. 2005 wrx. 1990 240sx.

[RISINGSUNPROJECTS]

Have both as well, 2 93 240's and a 05 STI

[chadca18s13]

if someone wanted to trade me a new subaru for my s13... even tho ive put lots of time and sweat into my car it would be dumb not to.

right now i wouldnt really want AWD everyday all year... i just came from hondas so im lovin RWD.

however, i live in canada so not only are our roads crap in the summer, but the snow in the winter and a slammed s13 is sooo rediculous. so im plannin on buyin a subaru for the winter, my mom has a forester and it is the tits for goin up to the hill!

[amdnivram]

i'm enjoying my 240, i could have had an 09 rx8, but i chose this instead. It's just a strange attraction.

[thesimpleS13]

if i had money in my pocket for a suby.....i would put MORE money into my 240 hahaha. Love my 240!!!

[Witness]

i want a Sti... but i wouldn't take one over a 240..

now i would def take sti over evo tho

What he said!

but the only car i would take over my 97 s14 is my dream car 97 supra though i would feel like my dog just died and i got a brand new puppy.

[240sxdrifter810]

id take my nissan over a subie any day

[DCP94]

theres just something about my 240...lol

[bloodangels13]

i like subys (use to work at a suby dealer) fun cars but i liked and still do like my s13 more... i fell in love with s13 coupes back in 02 and got mine in 04. Same one still after just this month 5yrs.. i wouldn't give up my s13 for anything at all. no joke

[redpotatoes]

I bought my 240sx because I wanted to. Since it's stored during winter, I got myself a suby for that period. Can't beat the awd drifting in winter time up here !

I got the best of the 2 worlds, 2 fun cars, 1 for summer, 1 for winter :naughty:

[KOUKIboy]

^^ U lucky bastatd... Lol.. Anyhow 240 over Suby any day!!.. Funny thing is that the Suby owners always check out the 240s ...U gotta love that low sleek stance :)

[reaxion]

240...the only car Ive ever wanted since learning how to drive. although i enjoy a good AWD vehicle...Im an Evo fan myself.

[aoiken3]

240 all the way hands down

[AmviciousRav]

Why a Subaru? I've driven a few built 240's (most of em held together by zip ties but it was decent). The 240's (Driven both s13's n fastbacks) did good at the track and a-x...never owned a 240,
Subaru's cool n all but why though? (I've driven a 2.5 rs with basic bolt ons , nothing turbo charged yet..)

I mean there's a obvious difference between a 240 and ANY subaru in terms of handling and performance just can't figure out why people would go the other route and why Subaru was considered an alternative haha

[Donesyboy]

Lol i sold my WRX to get a 240

[YoungGun]

I had a subaru, they're overrated.

Oh cool I can do some cool 3rd gear pulls.

Oh cool I can go to the canyons and understeer.

[DCP94]

if i had money in my pocket for a suby.....i would put MORE money into my 240 hahaha. Love my 240!!!

thats funny lol
