New member time for a scooby!
Finally persuaded the Mrs to get a family car so I can now buy the car I've always wanted:luxhello:
I have been looking round and seen a couple of gb270 hawkeye's one wagon and a saloon. Does the wagon have the bigger boot space still need to fit a pushchair in! Is the gb270 worth the extra price or pay a little more for an STI. Also seen a few hatchbacks are they as bad as made out with regards to handling and is the piston ring issue a big one? Sorry for the questions but just want to make sure I'm making the right choice as I've wanted a scooby for the last 15 years. Been a member of several car forums before and this looks a great one so far:thumb::thumb: |

Also the entry to the boot is lower than on the saloon, which is good for getting stuff in. Personally if I still had to ferry baby gear around, I would definitely go estate. Driving-wise the saloon and estate felt very similar, but the saloons get more flared wheel arches, which makes them look a bit more aggressive (not sure if this is true for the later cars). Regarding the engine and piston issues, I would personally steer clear of any 2.5 engined imprezas unless they had been forged already. I think this includes the gb270 (might be wrong). Having said that, I would love a 2007 on hatch back, I think they look fantastic! |
Thanks for the info very useful, the hatch does look good but the piston rings is putting me off. There is a 2010 wrx with 29000 on clock for sale by me.
