Default 3 best things of owning a scoob?

I was just wondering...

What in your opinion are the top 3 best things about owning an Impreza??

Mine would be:

1 - Smiles per mile! They're the most fun to drive, the power, the grip, the sound! All in all the drivability reason to own one!!

2 - Reliability ( i hope ) It just feels so solid and safe compared to my 106 GTI

3 - The attention. I love people having a good stare at my motor while I'm driving It. ( big headed I know ) That look of both admiration and jealousy makes me proud to own what I do!!

Now your turn....whats your top 3?

1) park it next to an M3, TT etc, and get any 7year old to point at the fastest one
2)the kick in the back
3)the jealous looks from people.

1) Why on earth would you want a 7 year old to rate your car? Are you a Pedo?

2) I guess you can get that on any car with Turbo lag......

3) Jealous, nah, they think you're a chav and are laughing at you.

Hmmm . . The three things ..

1)More bang to the buck, better value and performance than the competition . . .I mean, I get coffin dodgers in Rs4's, Merc e 320's and the rest of it try it on . .Sure . .Maybe there cars are more expesive, more powerful and quicker in a straight line (which is the exception rather than the norm) . . But what they dont know (probably because they are too infirm to realise) is that we have the better car!

2) The image

3) the looks - especially love the gold wheels with the Scoop, and the blue paint!

Yeah, I was thinking that ................... IMAGE!!!

Who the hell, other than Chavs, would want the image that goes with an Impreza??

It wasn't the same years ago, the image was great, but now we see £2000 Imprezas and lads driving them!!

The blue with the gold wheels should especially be avoided in my books. Its
"gay" and people think your a tool. Its like still wearing burberry. Its run its course and is now very unfashionable.

The image is another sad point. The average person will think your some chav when chavs wouldnt be able to pay the bills for the car.

Oh and RS4's are faster.

No mate . .You lads only think the Image is bad, quite possibly due to some insecurity . . . . I on the other hand am so confident that I'm not chav, that i'm really happy driving a blue Imprezza with gold wheels . .

Its to my mind people with Porsches, Land rovers, BM's , Audi's are the people who are very image conscious insecure losers . .For all my time driving a Scoob, I have not yet seen a single Chav . .Sorry

THe image is "I don't care about the image" if that makes any sense . . .

Enjoy!

p.s . . .Yes . .The RS4 is perhaps faster, but I repeat, the Scoob is the better car . . .I stand by that

I love the image (when I get my new WRX (1/4/06) and counting off the days at the min) I am a big WRC fan and my Impreza with its blue paint big Prodrive wing, Prodrive mud flaps ( £200 ) and gold wheels is the closest thing to a WRC car I can get. For all the people that look at it and think chav or rude boy can go and F*** off as I don’t care about their opinion and I don’t see why other do,

my 3

POWER

AWD

WRC car for the road

And they'd probably point to the TT cos it looks the fastest...

Dont get me wrong, I like scoobs, but unless youre in a 22B/P1/WR1 the looks you are getting off most people are not of jealousy!!!!

I reckon top 3;

a) cheap performance
b) sound fantastic
c) easy to drive fast

a. you have very low standards
b. your confused.....just because they have long hair does not meen they are ladies although admitedly those ladyboys do look convincing from 30 yards.

Not in any particular order but:

1) The community (You get all sorts in here!)
2) This is the cheapest most powerful car I can run (I am not a chav by the way even though my fiance is from Essex!)
3) I can customise my car to the nth degree as I have a good solid base to start from

Do I win the prize?

Indeed HTH, Scoobykid was listing his three best things about owning a Scooby and sure enough someone who doesn't like Scoobies just had to gun him down. Personally i find the 'pedo' remark somewhat distatsteful, keep it above the belt please.
