5 Type R

Drove to the post office today (1/2 mile) and saw 5!

16vmarc

You have to spoil it dont you!!!!!

chrisp

Drove 4 miles and saw ten, they were all parked up together and had numbers in the winscreen. Some had plastic things on the roof and no nuberplates . Them Foresters are common as well saw loads of them at the same place .

16vmarc

Well that was odd wasnt it!!!

chrisp

I thought it was a meet but there were only two guys in suits.

No, just popular!

You certainly couldn't class the Impreza as common - far from it !! It's like any other car you've had - think back - as soon as you buy one you seem to see loads the same but it's just because you're suddenly aware of them (you don't look at the millions of Mondeos, Vectras etc do you !!)

reno

There are 10 in a 3 mile radius of me!
and do they wave do thay ECK

I sometimes see upto 40 Scoobys in one go, well ok then there on the back of trailers leaving the distribution place just down the road from me.

Unfortunately what used to be a very rare and relatively unknown performance car is now reduced to mondeo status , there are far too many around, in fact drive ten miles anywhere in the country and you can gaurantee that you will pass at least two. Okay so its testament to how good the car is that its popularity has grown so quickly over the last ten years but owners should just admit that they are now common as muck and stop kidding themselves that they still drive an exclusive machine, you don't . If you want exclusivity buy a Mitsi Evo , Nissan Skyline or anything with Cosworth on the bootlid.

Stand on my street and you'll see 2.......go down the road outside the local kebab shops and you'll see at least 5.....

scooby_si

you mean i've been wasting my time flashing all the other mondeo drivers lmao

It would be interesting to know the real % figure of Imprezas on the road but working on the 'drive 10 miles in any direction and you'll see at least two' scenario you'd probably pass about 1000 cars in 10 miles (more on the motorway) so that adds up to 0.2% - I'd say that's pretty exclusive !!

scooby_si

but if you wana fudge sum stats together how about we compare that to number of models of cars available then it'll show scoob is common lol

This is the first car that I've had waves and thumbs up from fellow drivers whenever I see a fellow WRX driver.
More common than before, maybe but still a great following for all the good reasons cos we all love the cars, and I'm very glad that I bought this my first Scoob.

M8 , maybe on the M1 you would pass 1000 cars within ten miles, but no where else in the country,and the 2 cars per 10 mile comment wasn't an accurate figure , if anything it was an underestimate. Face it scoobs in one form or another are as common on our roads now as vectras and mondeos, you may not like it but it doesn't alter the fact that its true, so you just go right on playing with facts , figures, numbers and percentages and trying to kid yourself you still drive an exclusive machine, and the rest of us in the real world will continue knowing that you don't.......by the way, personally i think the scoob in all its incarnations is a great car, a classic even, it's just a pity that everyone and their granny has one........



so i guess i'll stick with my cossie for a while longer, now that's exclusive heh heh !!!!

True?

What planet are you living on?

plater

Alas

Id rather have a scooby than a $hite Ford anyway so i couldnt care less

scooby_si

OK can we put it another way it is probably the most common performace car then? Only other i can think of in similar sizes is M3 although most are only wrongly badged 318's lol

plater

Ok boys believe what u want , makes no difference to me

highlander68k

When I hear people say that scoobs are common I ask them what they are comparing them to, Ford, Vauxhall, Fiat and the worst BMW?

Are they common or are they noticed more?

Also when you have people run on about them slagging them into the ground I ask them what they drive, nine times out of ten they shut up fast.

Devils Advocate

There are more BMW 3 series sold in the UK now than Ford Mondeo's round my way a mondeo is definitley an exclusive and desirable vehicle to stand out from the crowd, baaaaaaa!

Pogue

Well , just to test your theory I drove 53 miles today around Rugby and then to Coventry and back and saw one Scooby :-p

Pogue

And 32 Mondeos, 23 Vectra's and 24 BMW's

Plater, can I have some of what you're smoking cos it must be strong stuff.

Muppet.

chrisp

What you have to remember is that until 1999 import restrictions meant that only a few hundred impreza turbos were coming into the country. Its only because import restirctions were lifted that loads have come in. Still a pretty rare sight I did 200 miles on motorway and saw 3, if that what you call common then fair enough . BTW saw more 911s so are they very common, I guess so.

plater

Guys we are as well to quit this thread right now because we're obviously never going to agree, scooby owners don't want to admit that there cars are a common sight on our roads now, and that's fine, but you have to ask yourselves why so many of you post threads like this in the first place, maybe it's because your minds are beginning to believe the evidence of your eyes................oh and pogue, better to be a muppet than a t**t fella.
