M35 Or Legnum.

[Adriano]

im in the market for a wagon, and was wondering what you guys consider a m35 has over legnum, being that thy are a few more$, but newer.

advantages of a legnum that i can see are

manual

ayc

200kw is an exhaust and remap away

lighter

cheaper

fuel economy?

the stageas seem to have a few reliability issues(cas, afm?)

i see a few of you guys have owned both and want toknow the pros and cons,

thanks

The engine is the right way for one, the motor is easy to work on compared to the leggy, stagea is built better.

Drive a few of each and you find what you like.

One sided opinion in here bud..... post it on facebook

Racecar get a legnum. Everyday luxury get a stagea. Plus the stagea doesn't look as dated.

Volvo vs lancer wagon

[ironpaw]

I'm pretty sure the legnum's thirstier then the Stag...

And less available parts here for it compared to the M35?

and its more of a magna/galant wagon then the lancer....

Apparently if you mod them and throw in some "hardcore tuning" they can hit......207awkw!!!

Seems like they the same issues as VQ35DE's...http://oldschool.co.nz/2011/forum/index.php?/topic/23429-vr4-legnum-mods-where-to-start/?p=596207

The stagea doesnt have the fuel tank the size of a thimble.....honestly 40lt tank for a car of that size a pathetic.

The engine bay is a tight as a fish's ass....watee tight. Change altenator....good luck buddy!

Try doing a timing belt on one haha. Legnum is a twin turbo magna wagon. I've driven them both I would go the m35

[WAGON_BOY]

I haven't driven a Legnum but all I have to say is I love my M35.........

each car has its problems like any but the Legnum is getting pretty long in the tooth so would be more prone to drama's..... don't get me wrong there's many 90's cars I'd buy but they would be toys........

the only valid argument I see is "manual" all the rest don't matter, so what it heavier it still handles great and feels light and I don't really think fuel consumption is greatly affected by its weight.

who needs AYC.................

it all depends on what you want the car for ???
