Whats your favourite Scooby Trait ?
We all have something that makes us buy a Subaru, for some its the rumble of the engine and for others its the bucket seats 
Whats are your favourite traits ?
To start this off mine is the Bright Switch, utterly pointless but still makes me smile after 6 years of ownership and 7 Scooby's

I do a lot of cruising on the motorway and have noticed a 'force field' effect around my car - people a little unsure as to wether they should overtake or not.

Probably has the stealth cop look about it.. Any high performance car/saloon cruising at 60mph in lane 1 of a motrway will make regular motorway drivers a tad nervous.
Used to own an ex-police omega. So debadged white omega trundling in the slow lane.. used to see peoplem slowing to a crawl to go past me.. great fun!
If i was borred i would wait for someone to come flying past me and then pull out behind them and pace them for a mile or two.. They usually reduced their speed to 65mph and sat in the slow lane for a bit
It had so much mid range grunt i could catch most things from 60mph start in very short space of time.. no matter what speed they were doing Miss that car for those traits!

I would say the low centre of gravity (from the engine, drivetrain layout) mated to the AWD, which gives it that fantastic balance through the corners even when pushing hard.
I love taking out Scooby virgins. You can always see them standing on the imaginary brakes in the passenger footwell as you approach a bend at speed ... then you notice the fear turn to surprise as you blast out the other side of the bend with no fuss whatsoever

Before buying one: Rally heritage
Since owning one: Burble, balance (above) and of course the Bright Switch

When the saxo/corsa/106gti brigade pull up next to you at the lights........
green light comes and they screw it off in a cloud of blue smoke whilst I set off at a normal pace and think "WHAT A ****"
because I know that if I wanted to i'd leave the ***** for dust but think "NO, I DONT HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING"

Polluting the planet with the LOUD pedal . . . Brill!
And no, I don't give a sh*t - the useless politicians have long ago f*cked the place up for future generations so I'm filling my boots while I'm here! Give it 20 years and all cars will be electric or hydrogen powered anyway.
