You know it,anyone who thinks the new Scooby is good looking.....well all i can say is i shudder to see your other half..;)

I bet most on here will disagree for the obvious reasons..:rolleyes:.

Come on peeps i admit the Scooby is superior to the Sapphire Cossie,not on performance or looks....but technology and handling......can you admit the EVO IS a better car??????

CraigH 21 February 2002 09:17 PM

EVOs handle better than Scoobs as std.

Yorkie 21 February 2002 09:20 PM

Oh no, not another one of those "please bite" threads

YES I do rate the Evo. But as an everyday mode of transport its not quite there. Same with the Lotus Elise. Though at least they are reliable and you don't need a diploma in welding to keep it on the road. (Those Cossies are getting on a bit nowadays);)

scooby_si 21 February 2002 09:21 PM

i prefer top gear;) lol. Might be ugly but rated as best drivers car so ???

Whatever your name is,

I have to agree, the Evo appears to be the superior motor. Fundamentally, the Evo is based on the rally car whereas the Subaru is a very well developed road car. The Evo wins both in power and dynamics – although this is reflected in the price premium.

I have to say, I am ain't too keen on the looks of the Evo. Whilst I’m not keen on the gold wheels and vivid blue paint work of the Subaru I think it has more character and, dare I say, has evolved with time very nicely. I’m not sure what you have done to your Cossie’, but, in standard form, the Subaru beats it hands down performance wise.

As for comparing looks with one’s other half, how is plain Jane, she must have to wear lots of make-up to cover her ageing complexion.

Trout... 21 February 2002 09:28 PM

...and here's me thinking that the EVO is based on the Mitsibushi Cedia - a Mondeo like saloon from Japan.

...and here's me thinking that the Scooby is based on Subaru Impreza - a Focus like saloon/hatch from Japan.

Mmmm - neither of these are exclusively rally cars.

Never mind - still prefer the Scoob tho :D:D:D:D:D:D even tho' the Evo VI is certainly a fabulous car if you can afford the servicing, repairs, fuel, oil, etc ;)

Trout :D

I must admit I ain't too keen on the looks of the new STI..........but they ain't driven my 320Bhp STI Type R :D :D :D

Only had it 2 weeks but I am impressed!

bald_rick 21 February 2002 10:01 PM

I'd rather screw a nice tight STI that some "past it's sell by date" warn out Cossie. Round the country lanes that is.

Rosco 21 February 2002 10:07 PM

First sensible comment I've ever read from Imatruka!!!

FreeT 21 February 2002 10:07 PM

stiscooby - they'd still manage to let it come 2nd, down to the driver i'm afraid.

http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/Gif/mysterymachine.gif THIS WOULD COME FIRST IF THEY HAD IT THEIR OWN WAY

imatrukahs 21 February 2002 11:25 PM

FreeT,you are sad..blaming the driver...as if it's fixed..:rolleyes:..even i admit the cossie is an unreliable piece of $hit (when tuned!),although extremely fast in a straight line..which YOU need to experience..;),but the nieveity of some is mind boggling!

Scooby-Doo 22 February 2002 12:38 AM

Bald Rick,

You should not be so rude about cars with the blue oval on the front, your XR2 has one !!!! Forget the keys just get out... Give you credit that thread gave a laugh to many a reader

imatrukahs 22 February 2002 10:34 AM

;)...Cossie's/EVO's rule....LOL.

howardb 22 February 2002 10:46 AM

Scrappydoo: "Hey i like the looks of the sti and my other half is a model."

Airfix or Tamiya?


Elvis Presley 22 February 2002 10:53 AM

I believe the Evo probably is a better car.

Bald rick, shouldn't you be out car jacking someone.

I reckon the old shape imprezza was better looking than the Evo VI, but the new shape looks a bit cr@p compared to the Evo VII.

My girlfriend looks like Robert Palson from fight club.

imatrukahs 22 February 2002 11:11 AM

Howardb...it has to be the airfix variety...;)

Elvis she that hot then..;)

Elvis Presley 22 February 2002 11:12 AM

Big tits anyway!!!

imatrukahs 22 February 2002 11:14 AM

Is that the Scooby fraternity,or your other half...:confused:..;)

scrappydoo 22 February 2002 01:43 PM

Howardb. Quick response!!! :-)

Evo 7 22 February 2002 02:11 PM

Evo any-day!!!!!

juan 22 February 2002 03:20 PM

evo similar to a lotus elise on the practicality stakes??? pleeeeze. lotus has 2 ickle seats and just enuf storage space for one racing helmet. Lets keep it real here. The evo is almost as practical as the scoob. The lotus is not close.

slightly harder ride - but not unpleasaent, indeed I would say nicer (but I'm biased), more frequent fuel stops - so? more frequent services - so? Neither car is cheap. You could probably run eiether on a similar budget. A hardcore enthusiast would spend a sh1tload on either, a more casual enthisiast could get by with not spending too much on either.

At the end of the day you could always sort out an additional tank so that it would last even longer than the mighty scoob between pitstops
