So, for the same cash value what matches the scoob
Thinking of selling up as had the old girl some 12 yrs but when i think about it, for the same value of around £3 - £4k what can you buy that has the same power/grin factor the scoob offers ?

Think thats why i have kept it so long
I cant think of anything, all my mates have cupra r's/focus st's/astra vxr's etc etc yawn yawn yawn
the scoob has the whole package, looks/sound/grip and practicality
I'm on my 3rd now and evertime ive sold 1 ive regretted it so I'm keeping this one. loads of spares about for them and loads of specialists around.
I did consider a bmw m5 or supercharged jaguar but I would have got bored of them I reckon.
Audi TT can be picked up for peanuts now but imo value for money to smile factor and power then the impreza has got to be hard to beat,maybe a leggy or foz would be up there too.
On the Ebay, a bit over your budget £4250.00, but sure you can get him down........!
Seriously i know what you mean, nothing ticks all the boxes like a scoob.
So we have gone and bought a low mile WRX auto to keep us going.
We still have the original bought in 2003, believe it or not it's still rot free !!. both finding it harder to drive (clutch), can't bring myself to it sell though.
Bought a red WRX auto for her but the box is playing up.

Reason: WRX
Been looking at other brands recently as I've become slightly disenchanted with my wagon project of getting it back to a decent state from the one I got it in.
Nothing comes close spec wise or power wise. Picked it up for £1000, total spend so far incl mechanics bills £2500. So that's £3500 I've spent so far including all services, the car, parts, mechanics, everything.
So it's staying now and I'm going to continue with it.
Mk1 cupra r's are great fun. Had my old one at a stage 2 revo map at 301 bhp. Tyres spun a lot o the front but was great fun. Big boot and 5 doors was practical. Very strong engine as well

wish I could say the same. I had a 2005 mk1 lcr about 3 years ago. Stage 1 at about 260ish. Worst car I've owned. Every week a sensor or coil pack would fail. Was a low milage 50k car aswell. Just sold my blob eye and brought a civic type r fn2. They get alot of bad press and no where near as quick as my blob but good fun and lots of toys standard. Handles and Is just as quick as my ep3 type r's I've owned.
BMW X3 3.0sd. We had a 2007 one and sold it 2 months ago for 4800. 4 wheel drive and stage 1 map had taken it to 350bhp and just over 500lb ft. Grin factor was great as it used to surprise a lot of people on the road.
yeah it certainly is worth doing if you have the money and time to do it yourself, it certainly payed off for him as i say, neck and neck , on the track of course .
It sounded nice, spat flames out, yes i was behind it at 1 point lol , one of those cars you need to buy already done i think to keep costs near the 4-5k mark
