Default newbie here

hey guys/girls as the title says im a bit of a newbie here, but i have been a scooby fan most of my life.

I have got to the point where i am in a position where i am able to purchase my first ever scooby, so i was just wondering what are the key features to look at when going to buy one.

i am really edging towards a STI, but dont know enough about them to be confident in what i am being told or what im looking at is correct. Also do i go for the bug or blob is there much difference between them? insurance? jdm?
to many options for a newbie help pls

So just wondering if u good ppl can help me out with some things i should be asking/ looking for.

thanx in advance steve.

ps; sorry i bet u get this all the time

Are you after a classic or new age?
Will you use the car as a daily driver?

where in the uk are you? as im sure if there is anyone local to you they will be happy to help. main difference on the bug and blob is the looks. different front end and headlights, internals and spec is pretty much the same. if its your first, honestly id suggest a wrx unless you have extensive sports car experience.

welcome to scoobynet
