ATT: VIC Stagea Owners

Looking for opinions/comments/reviews on Stagea

Hi all,

In the near future I will be requiring a car that can tak e a baby seat, pram, all the family junk accoiated with children

PLUS

Im a bit of a car nut, so some performance is also needed.

After driving a 2000 modle RS tiptro Stagea yesterday (also giving the wife a few thrills too) I kinda think it may be a pretty good option. (I mean fken hell the thing can haul 1600kg about no problems!)

I have always like wagons, and have looked at Caldinas, Legnums, Libertys etc... but the Stagea just had that mature, solid gutsy feel about it...

Can I please have a few comments from other Stagea owners across Vic, so I can get a better idea if one of these will suit my needs.

IM more keen on the RWD ones as they weigh less... plus less things that break too

What is the average fuel consumption?

What common power upgrades are to be done ?

Any common mech problems?

Comments really appriciated

(any forsale offers or test drive invites to help with the convincing welcomed too)

My price range is up to $15,000ish

PS im still in love with R30 skylines, so that wont be changing.... just gotta sell my U12 Pintara!

Hey buddy,

I recently bought a Series 2 RS4-S (the 's' is the manual version) and I love it... Fuel isnt that bad at all.

Power upgrades for mine are exactly the same as an R34 Skyline which is really handy etc ECU Turbo etc..

I have no regrets at all buying one, and love it as a daily driver..

on your budget you wont be finding a manual one but $15000 may step you into a series 2 however they are generally a little more.

If you have any questions let me know..
