...on what car to get next!

I've been considering over the past couple of months what to go for in the new year when I am able to change the car.

I'm seriously considering either a UK Subaru or possibly an Evo (depending on the budget at the time) but keep getting put off by all the horror stories and frightening service bills/repair costs people seem to be incurring.

Can you please provide me with some comfort factors in order to help me make a decision?!

Oh, and I haven't driven an Evo yet, only a Terzo 3, so opinions on would also be helpful.

Thanks.

I have a standard UK scoob(turbo).
It is more expensive than other cars to run / service but not THAT much more however...

Everyday since I've had it its brought a smile on my face. worth every penny.
Great way to start ever day at work the last few miles are twisty b roads

Newboy, can't see your advert - what are the details/price etc?

Dizzy, I don't mind the fuel, it's the 'what if' factor ie: you blow the box up and then it sits on the drive for the next two months while you earn the money to to get it fixed

I appreciate certain things just happen or are unseen - I guess that's just cars for you!

Thanks.

Depends what you want/need the car for.

I recently bought a UK300. I did try the Evo 7 and was insulted when the Mitsubishi salesman said to me 'Madam you do realise that this car is not for popping down to the shops' - but he was right. The Evo 7 is a special car (servicing every 4,500 miles and a bit of a bumpy ride and that put me off thinking aboutlong journeys in the Evo). The UK300 is still a special car, but it can be used for normal every day use (relaxing driving) and then also for the other fun stuff whenever you want to.
