Yes I did honestly. Had a new arrival to the family so the scoob reluctantly went.

After reading Autocar the other week with the test of the new STi against the new evo 7 they both look a bit tasty.

I hope to get my hands on a proper car again maybe next year. Hopefully one of these two.
Anyone got any comments or first hand experience?

 

Julian,

Welcome to the diesel club on Scoobynet! There are a few of us lurking on here. I reckon it's about time a new Diesel forum was opened! I used to have a couple of Scoobs, but ended up with a BMW 330D Sport. Still, it's not all bad!

Mattoz what do you think of the 330d?

The figures suggest ooooodles of torque.

Julian,

The 330D is awesome on the torque front. It has about 290ft/lbs between 1750 and 3500 rpm. It'll pull away from a UK Turbo from 80-120 in top gear roll-ons! That was 4 up in both cars with luggage though.

Well worth a test drive, but then you might end up wanting one!

Matt
