which version you prefer is a personal thing, might have moe electronic gizmo's etc, better build quality, but tbh to me scoobs have always been more about raw performance.

Styling its a personal preference... the stats show that todays Impreza's are also quicker than their Classic equivilents (which surely means raw performance?? - They just deliver a more raw performance in a softer package)

quicker in which way? whats the 0-60 on a sti classic and then on new one?
newer more powerfull models are gonna always be released, so comparing in that ways isn't exacly very fair, try comparing a classic sti with new age sti.

I'm with Mr Tidgy, the newage cars are fugly to say the least. They don't do the Impreza any favours, if you ask me. Classics all the way

I'm with Tidgy and the classic fans too..

Power figures may be rising on the new cars, but so is the weight!

tbh after speaking to owners they suffer from so much lag you wouldn't want one anyway lol.

but anyway, not saying i wouldn't have one, what i'm saying is i would prefer a classic to it

each to there own i suppose. i do agree that the classic looks better than the bug/blob etc but the newer cars are just so far ahead of the classics now. all in my opinion.

i think if you are modding then classics are the best, change suspension and brakes, which are a vast improvment on the newage, and you have a whole new car

lOOks good. Is it limited to 300? It seems to mention that all the time.

What a steal at 19,200 too. How much extra to get it here then?

I would have to get a rear spoiler though...

To a point yes! but if you did full suspention brake upgrade remapp etc etc to any scoob it's gonna feel like a new car.
