Red face Why, I ask???

Why, if you have 15k would you buy a scoob when you can have this?!?!

Apologies if the seller doesn't want this on here but hey, it's exposure for him.

My scoob is gonna go for sure. 15k for a superior car such as the RS sprint.

Never knew these were so cheap.

I thought these still went for 18 to 20 grand.

Proper Evo, DIY keep fit windows, nice and light stripped out. Incredible motor.

Personally, I think they are ugly, which is why I would never spend £15K buying one. It's almost remineiscent of fast and furious. Unfortunately modern production scoobs have gone down the same tragic path.

With oversized boot spoilers and bonnet vents, huge scoops (ffs, just put a FMIC on and done with it ). All you need is a 4.5"+ tailpipe and your living up to Novaboy's dreams

It's like the designers started using those pathetic "car-cacktures" as a basis for their designs.

Just screams "looks at me". If your like that or American, then fine. Thankfully, I am neither, I prefer to be far more subtle. Concentrating on what's underneath and inside, with a few choice body changes just to be "slightly" different, so those who know about cars can tell. But doesn't turn the head of every chav and clueless about cars numbnut on the planet.

There, I've said my peace

Made your peace or said your piece?

The choice is yours.

Because you'll find the RS Sprint a bit hard to live with day to day if it's your only car...... Go try it and see how you get on.

My dentist had one for a year and found it pretty hard going, and he sold a 5.0 tvr Griff to get one, so I reckon he knew about living with weekend cars

IMHO of course (oh...and that of EVO magazine as well, after their long term test )

Difficult to think of anything that has not been done to it. I would be very tempted if I was looking for another car.

I'd spend 15K on one over an Impreza anyday. If I just wanted a fun car. The only problem is that some of the time I have to live in the 'real world' and can't afford thethe extra time or money for oil changes every 4.5K not to mention the extra work needed for the AYC.
Rather have one than my Impreza, of that there is no doubt, but it's not a realistic proposition.

I don't think the RS has AYC..I might be worng though.

I have to respect a car manufacturer that makes lightweight versions of its cars, rather than electronic infested **** boxes that are available nowadays.
