First tip is turn your Caps Lock key off - it generally means you are shouting or angry

Second tip, have fun but be careful. I own an MR2 which is a handful on its own in the wet (RWD), but I have driven Scoobs. They are very quick.

Get used to the car first before pushing it, and have fun.

Yes I'd second the previous post. I'm only 2 days into my first Impreza turbo and everytime I "push it" it scares me so be careful.

Just make sure the car's been regularly serviced and that it's coming from an owner that's cherished it if you can...And enjoy! I can't stop driving mine!

A thread for the newbies!

Two weeks into owning mine. And I love it to bits!!

Again, I'd second (or third) taking care as thhese things are quick, I also ride a Suzuki GSXR which ain't exactly slow and my scooby still makes me holler when i get a corner right, belt through the gears etc

Have fun
DP.

Got my first scooby (MY94) nearly 3 years ago now and they are a top motor, but they need looking after, ive thought i looked after mine - changed oil myself approx every 2-4K (allways get Subaru oil filters) and decent oil (5-40 fully synthetic), dont use odd sized tyres I did had 55s on the front and 50s on the back (whilst waiting to wear) and did my centre diff in, get a service or repair from a good place, either main dealer or someone who really knows their stuff, someone gave me a price for relacing the diff at £120 quid and I knew they didnt know anything both from price and their talk.
Oh and look on here first.

Just remember
the faster you go around that same familiar corner, the grip will dissapear eventually, but DONT BRAKE.
grandmother and eggs but forgive me.

maybe its me, but i think you should rephrase that, not braking at all is a bad idea
