I've had 3 classics but now trying to decide between
1). a 98 Classic with 50k FSSH DGM and
2). a 51 Bugeye with 36k and FSSH, DBM.
Difference between the two cars is only £2000 but in its favour the 98 has leather interior.
Any opinions
Alas

 

What model is the bugeye?

 

heard the leather in claasic scoobies are rubbish

 

I had the leather in my last scoob and it was excellent, good quality but hard wearing which is why I'm tempted towards the classic.
The bugeye is a 2001 WRX wagon.
Alas

 

I've had one and have the other, was never happy with the 98 - unless I was hooning about - and have never been unhappy with the 01.

 

guess i heard wrong

 

Drive the Bugeye.....I think you'll know the answer to your question then

classic easy choice any day from a classic owner

 

BUGEYE THEN

 

Both are different cars, the classic is lighter thus slightly quicker, but quality lacks and you get 6 month service intervals (7.5k), bugeye is a different car again, less flex but heavier, more "grown up" but still enjoyable, not quite as quick standard but is better built and better quality, plus its 1 year service intervals (10k).
Ive owned both a classic scoob and a blob eye, i wont be buying another classic

Bugeye for comfort and build.

Classic for standard outright performance due to the slimfast diet.

 

classic for me every time,i own a T99

 

Classic's rock, look no further......

PNB

 

Classics all day long,got one now and me next will be a sti type r.

 

bugeye

 

How about this ???
with only 39,000 miles

 

Superb car m8. Pity I need a wagon:
Alas

 

Basic WRX bugeye's are ****e.

 

Bit of a sweeping statement there senior AP. I wouldn't exactly say they are crap. Perhaps not as quick or handsome as the older cars but they are pretty heavy.

 

Scoobs are about going fast. 0-100 in 17 secs aint fast.

So, they may be a good car but with regards to what they were designed for they're crap.

 

shame that
