Turbo2

I did consider a mint white Type 20 Hawkeye that I guy I know had bought new. Just a bit bemused by the lack of boot lining! Does it really save that much weight?

StickyMicky

Had this for about 6/7 years.



Done the majority of the work on it myself, bar the various engine rebuilds, and still spent around 13k on the thing

Got rid of it when the credit crunch started affecting trade as the constant 180 miles to a tank on a good week was starting to **** me off, and my wage from work started getting slowly destroyed.
And then my 6 month old 2.5 engine popped a piston ringland time to get shot.

Needed a cheap run about to tide me over until trade picked up, got a hold of this to ferry me about around 2 years back.



Was actually really surprised by it, chassis was great, not what i would call fast considering i came from a 2.5 impreza at 1.65ber boost but it was "nippy" and was giving me 25mpg around the doors and 33mpg on a run.

Ended up keeping it, and spent 380quid on it to make it look different from our lasses granddads Rover 45



It stands me nothing, its worth nothing, it has been the most reliable car i have ever owned it flys through MOT`s, and it handles great.

I have an interview for a new job next monday, and it appears that i am the only person being interview for this position, if successful (i am pretty confident), i will be doing pretty much what i am doing now, just with double the amount of current trade, and to be honest, i don't think i will bother getting rid of the rover run about i like driving it

STi wanna Subaru

Had a MY99 from 2001 till this year. Now in a Mondeo St TDCI. Loved the Impreza for a good few years then grew to hate it due to the way the marque and image went.

Wouldn't have another.

I had a WRX STi Type R about 12 years ago. A brilliant car, but I sold it for a Supra which I had for 10 years (120,000 miles) and now have a Focus ST 3.

My sentiments exactly (apart from the modeo bit )

I had modded bug STI, then my Evo 9 current drive is my R35 GTR

Although in the market for a nice impreza for track tool!

WRXMADDOX

I sold the scooby you are driving now with all the modifications and money you have spent. I miss the noise more than anything but drivind a 180 bhp tdi now and 60mpg so cant grumble. The car looks good though eggy keep me eye on this site for another old one when I have the money. I have had 7 imprezas various specs and I still prefer the classics but great cars just bit pricey for driving 100 miles a day lol.

zip106

I had a 1998 UK Turbo until about 2003.

I get bored of cars and move onto something else, no other reason for getting rid of it.

I like to think I now have an altogether better car now.

Never had and never will have a scoob

I always liked having something different, so while the masses were getting imprezas I was blasting around in GTiRs of which I had a couple, also had a nice MR2 GTS (turbo, lsd, no abs, mega smiles)


Now days my transport are a Passat derv and a transit van, and my performance comes in the shape of an 160+bhp bike (R1) and also a dedicated trackbike (CBR600RR)

The Dogs B******s

Oi,i've got one of them

Sold MY05 WRX a few months back,not lost my soul as i don't have one

Seems like a lot of people stay on this site despite growing out of the actual cars.

I like this site because it has high traffic and minimal moderation. Lots of car sites have light traffic, and Pistonheads is heavily moderated by Guardian reading black Lesbians.

Chip

Had 3 new scoobs , First in 99 then Sti's with PPP in 92 and 95. Now drive a Leon FR TDi but may soon buy a new Focus RS.

I have never had an impreza for 14months and tend to drive my van but I am considering buying a Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst edition

mamoon2

Never had one, never even considered one. Just sort of ended up here

So this place isn't anything to do with Sudoko?

nik52wrx

Had a bug wrx then a blob sti ppp which went 3 years ago.
Can i see myself buying another........NO!

chris270181

I have one somewhere.. But not seen it for 13 months, got my tax reminder through yesterday,(which reminded me about it) when i get it back its going up for sale . Currently running around in a 306 gti 6, and I must say I like it.

wish I would of bought one 5 or so years ago

SJ_Skyline

MY00 Turbo 2000 from 2000 to 2003 when I had a "little" coming together with a fire engine.

Now drive a Zafira VXR (need the extra room for two little people)

Might buy another scooby if I ever find myself in the position where I need a 2nd car.

Hysteria1983

I currently drive '99 mica blue classic.

Had it about 14 months now, it's my first scoob, but no doubt will not be the last.
I'm quite lucky that I actually have a car given that I don't work, so in 12 months or so I will possibly get myself a little oil burner, ang get the scoob insured in Mr P's name.

I will still get to drive the spanking new S40 too!

I had a Single turbo Legacy in 2005-2006 and a classic wrx from July until now (I've broken it) and last week I bought a version 2 sti 555 to go alongside my E46 M3

Even when I haven't had Subaru's I've always been around and kept my hand in

corradoboy

Owned an 03 WRX PPP from 2004-2007. The best car I've ever owned for many reasons. As reliable as a Swiss watchmakers Japanese pacemaker, as quick as lightening, handled like a dream (after modification) and introduced me to some brilliant mates and a friendly and vibrant social scene.

Would I have another ? YES !!! Unless I can afford an Ariel Atom instead. Or maybe a newish 335D Touring (map'd to 350/500).

paulwrxboro

had one, then seen the light

zip106

You've sold the RS already?

Brun

Think i'm lost in here
Had my Scoob for 6 years but sold it nearly three years ago for a Lotus then a 172 and now a Mondy TDCi
The banter is good in here so have no intention of jumping ship. I'd like to think i'll have anaother Scoob at some point. It is by far the car i miss more than any other

CrisPDuk

I owned this from 2000 to 2008



It ended up with a fair few later Impreza bits bolted to it over the years. I got it to the point where I really enjoyed it, then sold it

Just got the Mk2 Golf and my heavily neglected XR4x4 now

I've no intention of ever owning an Impreza, but do quite fancy an H6 Outback at some point in the future
