classic vs bugeye
 

right peeps don't wana course any arguments just wana know how much difference there is between the two,how they drive if there more or less reliable etc , ,not which is better as i got offered a swap today for my classic,

Not had any major problems with mine apart from replacing hub flange and wheel bearing in the 3 years of owning it . Engine has done 133000and is still going strong .

is your classic a toy or daily driver?

Daily driver as they need to be driven and not garage queens as I call them lol .

mines daily driver

newage is more refined, suggest you drive one

Most people I've spoken to say a newage is a nicer place to be on a daily but a classic feels more raw. All depends what you're after but ultimately, drive a classic and see how you feel. You've got to live with the decision at the end of the day :-)

think ill keep my classic, seeing as it clean low milage,just had cambelt done and soon clutch too

Behave.......

My Classic was a daily drive from 2003 - 2010, sold it in 2010 then bought it back in 2012 and placed it into semi-retirement (now a garage queen :))

Sorry, meant drive a newage! Probably best to stick with what you know. I'm in a similar predicament. Would like to sell mine and get a P1 but spent so much time and money on mine to get it where it is, not sure I could be bothered with all that hassle again!

Currently having both, I'd say it comes down to the raw and aggressiveness of my classic which makes it just so much fun. It's more of a weekend/night when roads are clear/track car. Don't get me wrong the bugeye is great too. But the close ratio box and all the other things that come with the type r are just a real pleasure to engage with. Plus factor in weight and you can really get alot out of a classic running some power vs a newage of even more! The bugeye is the better daily which is what I use it for. Certainly more refined. Put some ICE in there, a few mods and a map, good geo setup, and they are really pretty cool to live with cruising around and even on a run.

BUT ultimately I probably get a bigger grin when firing up the classic ;) The newage are great cars though- I've always wanted a newage STI.
