Hi all,
I'm after a scooby as soon as i sell my car, but i'm not sure what to go for.
I'm looking to spend anything upto £14k, but has to be a UK turbo or bugeye WRX car due to insurance, No RB5's for me :-(
BUT the thing is do i go for a fairly new Bugeye with little miles or save a few grand and go for a Classic ?!?
Any opinions welcome
Thanks

had a classic
got a bugeye(with light conversion)
bugeye has much more quality feel but maybe not such great dynamics
if you want the biggest buzz get a classic
if you want a great all rounder get a bugeye
if you want the best of both get a bugeye with PPP like mine!

A mere 16k for an impreza...... from a supermarket (not the likes of motorpoint then? 
) who will give you an impreza at that price due to it being imported outside the eu (ie cyprus) so you get ZERO warranty, no alarm, no dealer network (as its been sourced outside the eu).
Myself, id buy either from a uk dealer for 18.5k who will give you a very good warranty, a dealer network and lots of attention from your bank manager
(these cars never stay standard too long )
Brakes and engines are exactly the same as those from MY99 onwards (the brakes suck btw) but some turbos are of different variants of the td04.

I have got a UK 03 - and have had all three models and the brakes are not the same - and how come the car weighs more yet drops nearly hald a second off the 0-60 of a UK99 and has EBD and higher top end - and you can buy them from Tesco's

I'm just having a laugh - I know the Cyprus/Belgian/Dutch Imports are ****e and cost about £1500 to be of any use and only 1 years warranty (OUCH) - could use the £1500 to get a 5 year warranty LOL

The MY03 still has 294mm discs and subaru 4 pots am i not correct?
The EBD will help but the brakes are exactly the same as those from MY99 onwards
