i was out of work and bought a 2011 saloon, then wasted another £1K on the 340R upgrade just helping out the economy, no piont stashing it away

In 12months only ever seen one other Red 2011 so exclusive

A classic Scoob and a Jaguar, why?

With all due respect wtf are you on about? I have owned many cars over the last 10 years including 3 Hondas, 5 Scoobs, a Porsche Boxster and a Lotus Elise, but none of that matters as I don't need to have owned anything to a) read the woeful sales figures for the current Impreza and b) look at it and judge it as a styling disaster.

But having owned the cars mentoned I can safely say that all of them, even the somewhat dull Porsche Boxster, were better packages than the current Impreza which on the two occasuon I have driven it has left me sadly disappointed. Yeah maybe it's more 'grown up', but that is not what Scoobs were about... there are plenty of 'grown up' cars out there already. We didn't need another one especually one that f**king ugly!

Anyway all this is a moot argument as in the UK the majority of the people who matter, the general public, agree with me....hence why it is selling like ice cubes in the Arctic

Nothing wrong with the hatch

Why should I do anything you ask me to do, in my book you're a moron!

That's because you can't name any you ****

As I said just choose anything at 33K, Merc, BMW, Audi ... Tata ... anything. They are not as bad as the hatch, Yes it is quite good at getting from A to B quite quickly (engine blow ups permitting), but that's it. End of the good points.

Anyway you can argue until you are blue in the face for all I care, the sales figures do not lie!

Merc/BMW - completely useless during the winter months.


For someone who supposedly doesn't like the hatch - you spend an awful lot of time talking about it

f1_fan

What a complete load of bollocks. About 3 days a year when the snow is down I grant you they may be compromised, but a Scoob isnt actually that much better unless you have winter tyres. This urban (pun intended) myth about the Scoob being a great car for the snow is rubbish unless you have the right tyres.

urban

iTrader: (1)

Don't be silly

Yes winter tyres will make a big difference.

I've never had winter tyres on the Impreza and never had a problem getting around.
Both my neighbours could not get their cars our of their drives for about 3 weeks last year (one automatic Merc, one manual 3 series BMW)

It's just it always seems to be the members with the old classic imprezas that scoff at the new cars. Its fine to share your opinion that personally you dont like the hatch, but your continued views can only be considered insults to the people who own and love them.
Its a fair point to say that engines going pop may have hurt subaru sales but as far as im aware that is now a historic problem, yet you still love to beat that drum.
Then you go into a diatribe about styling curves and lines. Again thats your opinion and not one i or many share.
Sorry if im wrong but you appear to be twisting information to suit your arguement in slating the hatch. The sales figures posted were for 2011 hatch sales. The hatch in the uk was a 2008-2010 model car. So the 300+ people who bought it were in fact buying last years model (the hatch) over the new 2011 WRX sti. This would suggest to me that the hatch is quite a popular choice.
As for other make car sales in the 30k bracket. I dont think Subaru were ever trying to compete in volume with the likes of BMW, merc Audo ect. Subaru are a small company compared to those. As for quality i'd say there on a par unless your spending 50k on those makes.

Im not sure why you felt the need to post all the cars you used to own or what that was suppposed to prove. I do however find myself wondering why you find yourself in an old banger classic after owning such prestigious cars.

mrmadcap

Your wrong again F1, I went up into the high peaks during last years snow and the scoob took it in it's stride. All other cars were stuck and people were staring open mouthed as we cruised past giving them the royal wave. Just wearing the OE bridgestones as well

chopperman

There even better if you set the DCCD to lock

I've seen 2 2011 sti's a very nice blue one near me and the other was white iirc only seen that one twice in my area where I live and there are about 15 scooby owners around the surround villages to me this is all models not just turbo's very popular here cant go a day without seeing 3 or 4 not including mine

mrmadcap

No fancy stuff, just us in the wagon. lol

chopperman

Im just posing mate. Mine is a bit wasted on me as we dont often get snow down south

Nice one cheers - looks great. Custom made by who if you dont mind me asking? Whats the burble like?

Which is why I posted some of the other cars I used to own as it is 'supposed to prove' that I may not be driving an old shed of a Scoob (as you peope on here like to call it) because it's all I can afford and even if it was so what? Does that preclude me from having an opinion on the hatch. No! I love how everyone thinks it is jealousy. If that is the best you can come up with then you have already lost the argument. Believe you me the last thing I am is jealous of anyone driving that f**king overpriced monstrosity

Do you? Well you must be pretty thick then. I own a classic because I like it and I can run it as a fun car. I use my other car day to day. It's not hard to grasp and if people think my Scoob is a rusty old banger then fair play to them. The point is I like it, but I wouldn't stop anyone else from having a different opinion to me whch is what you and your ilk seem determined to do with me over the hatch.

If my comments over the hatch are seen as some by insulting the oweers then they need to get a thicker skin!

It is also interesting how you seem to correlate someone with money as being a better person than someone with less as you imply their opinion carries more wieght. Nice sentiment

Yeah sure, you have a car that can defy physics. Well done

A 2wd car with winter tyres will be better in winter conditions than a 4wd with 'standard' tyres every time. And winter tyres make more of a difference than 4wd ever will.

Just Google it if you don't believe me.

Dave the Rave89

Cool thread brahh.

If the sales figures are low then can anyone explain the drop in demand and price for second hand scooby's??
It cant just be down to maintenance surely?

I've just bought myself a V8 Blobeye 2004 Subaru WRX STi...it was a steal! bye

urban

iTrader: (1)

We all understand this.
But a the end of the day, all things being equal with tyres, my 4wd car can go places that a 2wd car most certainly cannot.
And if that 2wd car happens to be rwd, then quite frankly its had it - just like my neighbours cars that couldn't even get out of their driveway.

You constantly go out of your way to comment on hatch posts - if you don't like it that much then why not just ignore it instead of behaving like a spoilt child

Come on fellas, we will never all agree on this issue. Lets all have a game of this........

I'm really not a fan of the hatch or even the new saloon. Both are very boring looking cars in my humble opinion. Look at the black car above from the side shot, I mean come on it looks like a something from bloody proton. And that bonnet and spoiler, please......

BUT,
My opinion means nothing. If YOU like it then that's that, that's what matters. Many hate the classic but I love it and even though I am very able to purchase a much newer model I won't.
Who knows, maybe these newer editions will grow on me. I hated the bug when it was released and still hated it up until recently. But it's starting to grow on me, " slightly ".

paulbu

Well, I've done just that only to discover that for £33k I'm looking at the likes of the BMW series 3 or Audi A4 two litre diesel models, amongst other uninspiring options. It's fine if your main consideration is 40 mpg but out of the question if you don't want an 'every other car' repmobile that takes around a week to pass a steam roller.
