Loved my classic it was like a motor race every drive...No I was not racing hofficer onest!
Bought a MY02... its more comfortable and the brakes are superb BUT its got all lardy and top heavy if you look its at least 4 ins taller and HEAVIER and I do not get the turbo whine which was majic..No question in my mind buy a classic and fit new seat HEAVEN.....anybody with a classic want to do a px on my 02 15000 miles one old fart owner.!!

Hard to imagine anything more desirable than my MY94 STi. Outstanding performance and handling.

In the 4 years since I got the 22B I've had a MY01 WRX and a MY03 STIPPP....I've sold both and kept the 22...purely because I feel it's a better/more exciting drive.
Got a Forester for the mid-winter middle-aged days

Had all 3 variants so far and I thought I would miss my classic but after having my STI7 and now onto the 8, I had the oppertunity to drive a classic recently which I did and have decided I would never go back now.

If I had to get a cheaper Scoob it would probably be a Type R as I feel they are so much better than any other classic, but it would be a close call between that and a STI7 now prices have dropped.
