Default High Mileage Bug Eye

Hi guys,

Im really thinking about taking the plunge and buying a bug eye sport, seen a few but all around the 70K Mileage mark...

...are sports still good runners around this mark? Anything i should be looking out for?

Thanks in advance

Hello matey,

Great cars but drink fuel just as much as a turbo model if not worse. Insurance wise cheaper but not by much depending on your details etc.

I enjoyed the Sport when I owned one and didn't miss a beat the whole time I had it apart from the odd bulb,fuse and flat battery when the light was left on etc.

But better cars for the money that won't cost as much to up keep to be honest mate.

Steve

ive got a bug sport wagon its done quite a lot over 70k miles and im getting over 400 miles to a tank and its very reliable and still quite quick for a none turbo. I have mainly owned turbo imprezas and it certainly is better on fuel than any wrx I have ever had.
