I'm not been funny, but if you own an impreza and don't smash the speed limit, you should sell up and buy a people carrier !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why spend all the extra money on petrol, insurance, cost etc if you're not going to use your power.

Sensible people don't reply !!!!!!

Sorry if I'm not being pc, but I've had enough of being PC !!!!

Jase.

 

What's a speed limit?

red line top gear to me.

 

Nice one !!!!

 

cool

 

Enjoy it while we can the government will make cars like ours illegal soon enough neway.

 

not if we get rid of the fools in power

 

I only recently SOLD my people carrier to BUY an Impreza and i don't smash speed limits and only do approx 3500 miles a year i brought the car as i always wanted one and until the kids were out of prams,buggies i needed the extra space so the buggies whent and so did the people carrier

 

Dont come moaning on here when a speeding car knocks down a member of your family and kills them because they were doing 70 in a 30 zone

 

I guess you haven't got a scoob then, unless you just want to look the part ?
Grow some bolls !!
As again, why buy a fast car and not use it ?!?!?! Fair point if you don't have a fast car.

 

Youve lost the plot There`s a time and a place for racing I.E a race track not through built up areas etc.

 

where I live there are EMPTY roads. and I mean EMPTY. remote mid wales B roads with nothing on them but plenty of curves dips and brows. I have driven them long enough to know when to bollok the car. NEVER in urban areas.

 

I cant fault some of the roads in wales some are national speed limit twisty single tracks are great

 

Troll?

But in answer to your question. There are many reasons to own a subaru, which arent just about being able to go fast.

-the impreza is a good looking car
-the burble of the exhaust
-good build quality
-reliable (if not abused)

for some people its a case of
-they just want one, its their money
-just the fact of knowing you have the power, but dont need to show it off everywhere you drive

and lastly
-theres a time and a place to drive fast
-ie a track day
-non-urban roads, country roads, which you know well

To be honest, I dont think theres a single scooby owner who hasnt driven fast..... Find me one, then maybe this post will have a meaning.

 

The single most contentious thing posted on this thread so far?

 

I think you mean was a good looking car.

 

Lol, obviously the bugeye went through my mind at that time, but with the right mods, morretes for example, it is a good looking car.....
but yes, mainly the classic comes under the "good looking" category

 

I was only messing guys !!
I never go too fast in built up areas, there are plenty of open roads around here for me to open her up.

 

I defy anyone to drive the A686 to Hartside in a Scoob without breaking a speed limit

..............its one of the great pleasures in life

 

(bring back the classic )

 

What a stupid thread.

No more to be said!

Wayne.

 

Would you feel better about killing someone whilst driving recklessly throw an estate or on the open road

 

One of the best driving roads EVER!! Its a toss up between Hartside A686 and Ullswater to Windermere via Kirkstone Pass for me, best roads ever for a Scoob IMO.

 

Newton Stewart to Stranraer. Proper twisty roads and rarely can you get flying but with all the bends its a great road.

 

Look the guy is a relative newby, i'm sure he really didn't mean he speeds through built up areas, i'd be the first to condemn him if he did and he has stated as such.

lets all count to ten and breathe.....

give him a break

 

Another guy infracted for having a opinion!!!!!!!!!

i have broke the speed limit in my car many times BUT only in the right roads, and only in open areas, never built up or any dangerous overtaking etc.

Its the only thing i enjoy about owning a Cash Cow like a Impreza.

Mac

 

this was a deliberate thread!

 

I think you mean a bottomless pit,but anyway

 

300bhp....AWD....0 to 60 5 secs...road holding/handling....thats what its all about and if you dont try any of these when safe to do so then get a nice looking Mondeo .

 

i did

- it goes round corners as well

 

Ullswater to Windemere rocks for sure one of the best roads via Kirkstone Pass my Dad lives in the lakes and you cant beat the roads. Cant beat pounding the loud pedal on the right roads either.
