Help dilemma

[Joelwong]

Option 1

 

Subaru Legacy 2.0i

Mar 2005

Coe: 17999

Omv: 22987

Timing belt, bearings, tires new(tires still got hair)

Asking price 29400 non negotiable

Specs wise I think 139hp 13xx kg

2 owners

Road tax till march

Springs lowered (which I don't like as I go to Malaysia a lot. Malaysia road a lot of potholes.)

Was told can do 12km/l

1 year break even

Insurance more expensive by 200 plus

 

Option 2

Mitsubishi airtrek 2.0 non turbo

Jan 2006

Coe:13300

Omv:19437

Full service record by c&c

Asking price 33000 non nego

Timing belt changed 20k ago

Tires 2 years ago

Road tax till July

3 years break even

Insurance cheaper by 200 plus

Installment cheaper slightly

Was told 55 litre tank and can do 600km per tank

Reading on Internet and people saying can only do about 7-8km/l (if really like that, big issue cause i travel a lot )

My wife and I really like the space of the airtrek.

I think it's 129hp and 14xx kg

I'm not the tiong kind but 129hp 14xxkg seems underpowered. I worried I will struggle overtaking and going up hill.

 

One more thing, I am more cost sensitive than performance sensitive

 

Someone advise please?

I was exploring megane. Unfortunately all the good deals either sold or no reply

Get turbo version.

[KARTer]

as the airtrek has not been lowered and has plenty of space, you may want to consider it for your freq trips to MY.... ... legancy is not a bad car also

 

i have moved house/office twice with my previous airtrek, it just swallowed up boxes and boxes of stuff

[Joelwong]

what was the fc for your airtrek? i was told 1 tank can do 600, which i am very doubtful.

 

 

nah..n budget for the turbo

should be around 450-500km per tank if driven normally according to my fren. Mine was turbo so FC was quite bad compared with non-turbo...

Heard that Subaru parts very expensive especially legacy, any truth in that?
