Oooooooooooohhhhhhh,

You HAVE opened a can of worms debate here.

If you want a P1, then you have no option.

 

Well if you have a 98 already there isn't much point upgrading to a 99 or a 00, may aswell get this http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=354182
If it was good enough for Burnsie it's good enough for you

 

Personnel Preference really.
Current Car = MY00PPP next car will be P1

Classic will always be the best........well in my opinion anyway.

Theres a chap on here selling Richards Burns STI6 hmmm nice

Classic is better in most repects. WRX bugeye feels numb by comparison. Only driven 1 blobeye (Sti8PPP) which was very impressive, but would need to drive blobeye for a bit longer to be sure.

I also have MY98, and am considering upgrade. But as I need the practicality of the wagon I may well go import and get Sti5/6 wagon to be honest. Only a couple of UK cars could tempt me otherwise, RB5 (love the colour), or P1 (just plain old fantastic)

Would certainly by tempted by Sti8/WR1 if I had the money but I don't

 

Bugs or blobs don't do it for me, has to be classic

 

Classic = faster, lighter more 'raw'
Bug/blob = better built, better interior, more refined, slower/heavier.

Looks are subject to individual preference, although all Imprezas aren't exactly pretty : more 'stylishly ugly'.

Drive all 3 and see what you think, it's the only way to make an informed decision.

 

I have changed from a MY98 turbo to 04 WRX and would not go back.

04 Much better to drive, more comfortable ( for us old gits) feels more solid and IMHO goes much better at higher revs. OK, Ill admit that there seems to be more lag on the new one but maybe this will improve will more miles, decat and induction kit.

 

Having spoken to several non-subaru owners who pass judgement on my car - they always say that the classic is the best looking.

I've got an MY00 but I'll be looking for a newer model next time (poss MY05) - I love the look of the classic but I quite fancy something that's a little bit more refined in terms of comfort and build quality next time.

 

Classic

Not that I'm biased or anything (I'll change my mind if I buy a blobeye STI with PPP )

 

Classic for me. i would love a new blobeye dont get me wrong, but the classic will always be the right scooby for me.

 

I think the latest JDMs would beat the classics for me, but otherwise classic all the way with all the good bits nicked off the newer cars

 

Blobs eyes rock and the new JDM is even hotter

 

Goto be the classic

 

Classic = old age!!!

Blobeye = New Age.

Built properly, pretty similar performance, cheaper to run, better lines, more "solid", safer and a modern car, not an old Jap taxi with some bolt ons.

Blob-eye, Blob-eye, Blob-eye.

Time to move into the 21st Century, as good as classic are, especially the P1, 22B etc.

 

ROFL - Can't wait until Mr Classic logs in and reads that!

 

they are all good, in different ways, depends what you want, me I want raw, aggressive looks and power, difficult to find a new age to replace it with tbh.

 

Classic for me, always said the best thing about driving a bug eye is you don't have to look at it
