He must not be talking about piston number 3 that melts for a laugh, or how common they can spin shells..

I had a Scooby. Not worth the petrol tbh.
scoobs are good just not as reliable as an evo

I would rather an evo if i'm honest however would consider a 04 plate style scoob aswell looking at other cars also in the same league so not sure just yet what  :sad: i have 2 months nearly to decide and 6k to spend maybe stretch to 7k  :smiley:

if i were you i wouldnt even entertain the idea of buying an evo, it will get stolen

have have look on the owners club, theres a section in there about evos stolen, last time i looked there were about 70 members who have had their cars stolen and then you read how it got stolen and you see things like badly beaten parents for keys etc etc

i have 2 mates who have owned them, one got stolen and the other one was attempted but didnt get taken but he sold it soon after that

I know about them being stolen my sister and her husband got broken into and had the keys stolen for his evo and her mk5 golf however they got disturbed and never took them  :smiley: They made about 2k's worth of damage that includes all locks and new keys for both cars and house plus now they have installed a cctv system and a good house alarm connected to the garage. Two weeks after the initial break in the came back and tried getting into the garage which set the house alarm off in doing so so my brother in law was on there case straight away! they we're video'd the whole time in doing what they done and we're put on all the surrounding police aware sites  :smiley: (will try find the vid) They haven't returned since after failing twice  :grin: this was over a year ago now. The people doing this seem to target a place one at a time and it is usually jap cars or vag :sad: 

If and when i consider one i have already thought of this happening and there will be no way of them stealing my car from we're it will be stored  :nerd:

i had a classic shape impreza a few years ago and it was great for everything.not as much to run as people make out.mine had a 3" decat exhaust etc...the usual bolt on mods and made just over 330bhp.imo a well sorted impreza will be alot more raw to drive and cost less to tune and run.just more bang for your buck.
