Well the impreza is going very soon, and driving home last night I realised I'm going to miss a few things
* The Engine Noise
Sounds amazing
* The size of the car - Really nimble
* The crazy short gearing
But I'll be glad to see the back of it because of
* The lack of performance
* The understeer
* Depreciation/Costs
* The crazy short gearing
I did consider keeping the car as a runnabout, but the insurance was just silly... Anyway roll-on next week, when I get double the power, better handling and flame spitting

What does it corner like (serious question)? I must admit, I did think the scoob (~1250kg) really is the limit of what I want to heave around corners. Do you notice the extra 300 kg or not? The bookatrack website says a Skyline is like a Caterham but much bigger
