Fair play to ya mate. I've had scoobs on and off since i was 21, I'm now the same age as you. Personally I couldn't give a siht whether or not they have a bad name or seen as a chavvie motor. As long as I still enjoy driving my scoob I ain't giving that up for anything, let alone the shallow fact of how other people view them as chavvie or not.

Well fair play but I would not sell my car just because I'm worried what people might think of me, I get called chavvie alot because my car has the wrc graphics but did that mean the rally drivers were chav's? I like my Scooby and couldn't give 2 ****s what other people think as I'm happy with it, I didn't buy it to impress others I bought it because I like it

There is no case, Does that automatically mean that all Scooby owners are like that then? I have seen lots of Idiots, Chavs, All sorts of people driving all sorts of cars saying and doing all sorts of silly things, Better give up driving and get a Bus, Oh no, There might be a chav on a bus though Better throw all my trainers away and any hooded tops I own too It's just plain stupid thinking you can't or shouldn't own a car because of what people might think of you, Lets face it, You didn't buy it to be inconspicuous did you?

So what car is on 'the dark side' that's going to be better for erasing that scenario?

Hope you don't mean an evo? Because people usually refer to that as dark side. If it is, prepare yourself for the chavs to become a whole lot friendlier!

You'd have to get yourself a Hyundai or something if youre doing it to disappear. I've had many performance cars and they all attract attention. Who gives a **** about other people? I have my impreza because I want it, **** everyone else.

Anyway, where do people find these groups of chavs? Granted they're about but only time I see a notable amount in their boom boxes is at night in certain parts of town where they hang out. So my brush with them is catching sight of them if I'm going to a certain cash point or buying a takeaway. I hardly ever get hassle driving to work or to the shops or if I'm driving my son to the park etc.

Or are some of you doing exactly what they are doing, ie cruising around at night and then looking down your nose at them because you're in a Subaru?

Dark side? I assume you mean an Evo.
Get yourself on the MLR.... i think you're in for a shock!!!

Evo 4's can be had for £4k, Evo 5's for £4k, and Evo 6's for £5k.

If you think the Evo image is better than the Subaru i have some bad news for you

I had a guy with a Merc CLK Black Series ask me about my car the other week.
Apparently he's had 185mph out of his on the M20 racing his mate on a R1.

So is the CLK Black a chav's car, based on your theory?

in my view there isnt a car that i can think of for the money that beats the exhaust note of a scooby.
the handling is next to none and 0-70 is the quickest ive every been in! anything over 70 is expensive on fuel!!lol
