Oh yeah.....Imprezas are common as f*ck.

I can't argue with that one

codie247

Where i live there are 5 evo's(3 x 6's,1 x 7 & 1x 8) within a couple of square miles, in the same couple of miles there is 2 maybe three scoobies counting mine. so i feel it is I who has the exclusive car around these parts

nice motors all of them

All I can say is hope no one moves to Huddersfield as there's not many impreza's round here and I like being different! lol

xvw

just one question is this forum a subaru site ? then what are people doing on here that dont like the subaru impreza
beats me

Redkop

No-one has said they don't like the Impreza... the discussion is whether they are too common

Too Common
I think the time has come to sell my beloved WR1 and go for what IMHO is a far superior car... the EVO

I bought the WR1 from new and thought that I had joined a somewhat special group of people who love and appreciate the Impreza , but today I drove about 400 miles and I lost count of not only the Imprezas I saw, but the number of burburry wearing kids driving what once was considered a great & quite exclusive car.

Good for you, I hope you find happinesss driving an Evo that you haven't found driving your WR1.

In what way does seeing a few 'chavs' driving imprezas mean that you are no longer amongst a group of special people who love and appreciate the impreza? This comment impies that it is not the car itself that is important but the image the car portrays to other people?

Nobody has ever told me to go and get a proper performance car - what cars are they talking about? next step up from an impreza would be what exactly - something with 2 seats and a v8? doesn't fit in with my requirements thats for sure. Most people don't even know what an impreza is, never mind that its a fairly quick a to b car for the masses.

Everyone I know calls the classic 'the one that I like the shape of the best'. Obviously we mix in different social circles.

Glad you prefer the performance and build of the Evo, did you try one before purchasing the WR1?

Golf Gti wasn't built to be exclusive, and I don't think it was sold by dealers against a strict set of 'chav' guidelines. This comment implies that the golf gti was no longer any good once 'the wrong kind of people were seen driving it' Again a statement that we must move in different social circles, because you again are implying that once the car becomes less valuable and the 'wrong sort' get behind the wheel, the car is no longer any good.

My impression from your post is that the car you buy's most important feature is the image it portrays to everyone else. If thats the case, you're the sort of customer BMW and AUDI love.

If the post is not about image, then perhaps a clarification on what the Evo offers over and above the WR! would be of interest.

Look at the forum homepage and count how many section are for subaru only

At the end of the day he posted that he wanted to sell his car to buy a different one, why is he so wrong to do that? It's his money.

EVO? No thanks.

I'm sure they will be glad of your custom though as they are struggling.

totally agree with dave a

alwong

Alot of people have said why are so many scooby owners critising about WR1 selling his car and thinking of purchasing an EVO. Well, nothings wrong with that but if you ask for peoples opinions which you did by starting this thread, then the opinions will come as criticism as well as praise. Live with it or don't post the thread in the first place.

Just my opinion.

ARRON BIRD

His post makes no sense sorry.
I only speak my mind and the truth.

james there are quite a few round huddersfield, go there on a regular basis and see at least 2 every time. i like the v reg sonic blue one driving around

ARRON BIRD

Christ Martin you and I actually agree on something

Deep Singh

On the presumption that 'your mind' and 'the truth' are one and the same thing?

EBR

Well I look forward to you forthcoming advert for car to sell cheap and quick to avoid prolonged Chav association.

Hummmppppppppphhhhhhhhhhh !

Why post a quote if ya don't wanna get into a slanging match about it.

Chavvy ?

I think some of the replies to this thread are getting lost in the general signal to noise ratio.

Any Chance of the original poster responding to some of the points made on here?

You gotta be kidding, he's probably a regular who was trolling and it looks like he succeeded as five pages later we are still replying to it

ARRON BIRD

Well if you read the original post and can make any sense of it good luck!!

I was sticking up for the scoob you t!t

Troll somewere else

The Grift

Have to say I live just outside Hudds and i rarely see other scoobs. So the "scoobies are too comon" statement seems to be dependant on where you live. I can drive through Bradford and see at least 5 scoobies each time.

DarkStar66

You seem to have a different idea of what an icon is. To me it represents the best of it's type at the time.

The following are 'performance icons';

• Original Mini Cooper
• ANY Porsche 911
• Mk1 Golf GTi
• Sierra RS Cosworth
• Impreza Turbo

They are all cars that people have lusted after and used as yardsticks for high performance cars. Most of these aren't at the cutting edge these days but they've earnt their stripes.

Deep Singh

ok,though I hate to admit it you MIGHT have a point!

ImprezaWR1,
I'm trying to work out how you can tell the Evo is 'far better build quality' during a test drive?
Advice is freely given here on Scoobynet, and like all of us, you can choose to take it or leave it. I was the very proud owner of a 2003 WRX PPP wich I bought brand new and drove a very pleasureable and faultless 15,000 miles. I then did what many people here do, that is I started wanting more power, more full on driving experience, I wanted a harder ride, I wanted something MORE evil, and I bought an Evo FQ 300, which, I later discovered, had more hidden rust under the bonnet and wheel arches than a 15 year old Mini. The car was replaced with an equivilent Evo FQ 300, with very low mileage, 1 owner, etc. This car also has rust spots under the bonnet, around the engine bay. The gears will not engage at high revs, the car pulls to the left very sharply, in fact, it steers to the left! I am now waiting for the Main Dealer where I purchased the car to accept my rejection, under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (ammended March 2003), and give me a full refund. Look at the welded seams on an Evo,around the engine bay area, under the wheelarches, (not sealed) and look at the welded seams on a Scooby, (all sealed and painted). The plastic used on the Evo dash is so crap, cheap and nasty feeling to touch and look at. If you tap the Evo doors, they echo to the metal outer skin. Scooby materials are far superior in quality. The Scooby, from bugeye onwards, has 5 star NCAP crash test, the best result. The Evo on the other hand has never been tested. The Evo is a nice, full on rally experience car, when it works properly, but as for build quality, the Subaru is factually better, by miles. I know I can't afford your WR1, but if I could, I would have it off you immediately! Once I have my money back i'll either be buying a brand new WRX 05 or an 03/04 STi or WRX PPP. Best car ive ever had, the Impreza.

Ian_S

looks like some scooby owners are still wearing blinkers, the old shape is a chav car and has been for a while, the newer ones are a lot less common though, but the ones i see round here are driven by drugdealers

Pogue

How do you know, do they have a sign saying "I'm a drug dealer" on the roof ?
