Advantages: Rare, Tuneable, Desirable and Fast
Disadvantages: Addictive

..., but add them to the RS and you`re looking at about 200+ bhp. As I`ve stated before, I`ve had this car for 9 years and the respectful looks you get from both old and young people are unmatched in anything else. This is an enthusiast`s car for serious drivers. Treat them with respect and use decent oil and regular services and if you can ever bring yourself to sell it (I know mine`s not getting sold anytime soon!) it will at least give you what you paid for it, or more than likely more than what you paid. There`s also one more thing that I`d like to add. It`s nice to go for a drive and not see another RS Turbo on the road. There are far too many Subaru`s around and because they`re so common they are falling into the wrong hands. More often than not they`re being driven by inexperienced drivers or being bought by boy racers who like to add... Read review

...I bought this car in 1996 , after being left a few bob by my lovely Gran ( god rest her soul ), this was another one of those "man things " I just had to have ! . I'd always noticed these cars passing by in the opposite direction, and was always impressed by their almost female shape, ...... rounded at the front, slim in the middle , and the rear rounded as well ! In my opinion most Toyota's look great from the front , but they lost the plot on the arse end ! , not so with the supra. Fit and feel. ************* Getting into the car is a bit of an operation, especially if you're a fat bugger, ( unlike myself ), being so low , and the driving position, you physically have to bend yourself into the thing. Once sat in it , first impressions are that everything fits around you nicely, all the controls, clocks, gearstick, pedels... Read review

Advantages: A very reliable, economical and long lasting engine
Disadvantages: Mine has worn out a couple of front wheel bearings

...I have had my 205 D Turbo for 2 1/2 years now and it has done 191,000 miles and still going very strong. When I bought it the miles were 100,000 and my mate thought he would get rid of it as it was obviously worth less with high mileage. I change the oil at least every 4,000 miles which may seem a little excessive but has paid off and the engine is still very clean, reliable and economical. I would recommend doing this in any car that you are going to keep for a long time as it is a great way to protect the engine. This model has a lot of power due to the turbo so overtaking and accelerating are much easier than with a standard 205 Diesel which aren't the slowest diesels by any means as I had one prior to this. I drive quite steady doing about 50 miles a week in town commuting to work and around 250 miles of motorway staying... Read review

Advantages: Loads of mid range grunt, looks fab
Disadvantages: None

...I bought my car in March 2003 after waiting 6 weeks for it to be delievered, boy was the wait worth it. I ordered my car with leather interior, air con and sun roof, it looks smart, and it is the thinking man's GTI. So far I've completed 2000 miles in mine. I find the seats very comfortable and secure - they do hold you in when you are taking corners at speed. The main reason why I bought a 206 D Turbo was becasue of the fuel economy - I drive 90 miles everyday and I needed an econmical car after my 307 started a drink problem like Oliver Reed. I average about 45MPG when driving to and from work, strangley enough, fuel economey in city driving improves this figure to around 50MPG. The only giveaway that the car is a diesel is when it is idiling - not in terms of sheer noise, but the way the gear lever slightly vibrates, but once... Read review

Advantages: Reliable, Quite Quick, Good On Fuel, Class Leading Design in its day
Disadvantages: Starting to get a little dated, Electrical Faults, Noisy, Smokey in the cold!

...I've had my 306 for a few thousand miles now, after a friend had one for some time, and I was quite impressed with the performance of this French "tractor." I took the plunge, and have bought a 1994 XRdt (with a whopping 162,000 miles), which was one of the higher spec models for its time, and still stands up fairly well against some brand new cars. Having previously owned a diesel Fiesta, and having enjoyed the fuel economy offered by the "black stuff," I was more than happy to buy another diesel, even though eighteen months ago, I vowed that I could never write a cheque out for an 'oil burner.' I collected the car, and on the first start up, I noticed something I had never paid attention to in my friends 306 D-Turbo, that is, even for a diesel, these things are noisy. They do have a distinct nuance of "tractor... Read review
