It has the same 2.6 liter Inline 6 as the R33 that makes 276 horsepower. Originally it was built and based on the R33 platform.

The original bumper of the Nissan Stagea (260RS Autech), looking good lowered and ready for a ski rack They had 4WD and could do 0-60 in a respectable 7 seconds. These are the R33-based trims that earn the facelift.

Normally I hate falsely branding your car but… this one deserves it! This particular wagon is called a Nissan Stagea, and the best trims were the 260RS, 260Rs Autech, and the RS4. That R34 GT-R front is an actual body part you can buy with bumper, spliter, fenders, and hood made to fit for $2,200 ( ). Enter my good pals at Donut media: Nissan Stagea R34 Photo from JDM Expo of a sold R34 front-end Nissan Stagea. Other than that, the performance differences are something a YouTuber can explain well in 14 minutes. Besides that it’s similar in all aspects your kids could care for except one: the back seats have between 3-8 inches of less legroom than a WRX. The last Lancer Evo X is cheaper than a WRX of the same years, but the consensus is that it’s less reliable. A friend of mine put air suspension on his so he could pull into driveways, let his wife drive it, and still lower it on the weekend to race with the boys.

Don’t have the budget for a new WRX? Older WRX’s tend to be bought by older car dads who don’t slam and mod the crap out of them like STi owners do, and with 2014 or older you also get the hatchback for bikes and toys. Don’t like the stiff ride? The non-STi WRX is smoother, and the Impreza even more so, with more clearance, though at that point I’d go with an older 2009 Outback 2.5XT in a manual. It’s no Cadillac but I would do a two-hour road trip in it just fine. I’ve ridden an entire summer with three men all weighing over 200 lbs in the back of a WRX STi. WRX STI or Lancer Evo X WRX STiĪn obvious choice, but let me point something out. Riding in one would be enough to have any domestic Christian family make like The Vapors and turn Japanese.

I’m talking 2JZ engines, Subaru AWD, and unprecedented turbos. These are cars that even the toughest spouse, parents, or overly concerned roommates can’t say no to… and yet they all wield depths of secret treasure troves of JDM culture and ability.
