I feel like one of the few these days.

I bought my Impreza in May 2000, it still sits proudly on my drive - used daily.

That's 10 years with the same Scooby and it's standard bar a backbox.

Anyone out there, can better that?

Gordo

April 2001 for me - a P1 that's now mostly tucked away in the garage after using it every day for the first few years - it has had a few mods (brakes, airflow, mapping for UK fuel mostly, after it blew the first engine). Love it - no intention of ever selling it.

Beat you by a few months!
My WRX arrived in the UK in December 1999 and I picked it up on 4th Jan 2000.
I had to immediately drive to France and back via the Chunnel to register it as a Personal Import and then wait about 3 weeks for the registration documents to arrive from the DVLA.

Still sits outside the house and gets used daily.....over 150,000 miles later!

Although it was completely standard after 7 years in Japan, it's since had a few subtle tweeks and still holds its own against most other cars.

wow thats a heck of a time to own a car. I wish I could own a car that long

Ive been driving for 20 years and i have NEVER had a car longer than 8 months. Its only recently ive calmed down. My wagons are 5 months and 1 month in my ownership.

I must admit I think I will break the 8 month deadlock this time....

14 years of continuous scooby ownership and almost six years on the latest one. No plans to sell it, so should be a few more years yet.

Just to be pedantic, you're still a few months shy of ten years.

Mikkel

3 years for me now. Started as a daily but is now mainly a weekend car.

MaDaSS

03 WRX, coming up to 7 yrs in May from new. I wish i had left mine standard as when the RB 320 came out i really REALLY wanted that! LOL.
I still love it though but still want more!

7 years for me and the longest i have ever owned a car. Me and my banana/trifle/custard tart have been through a lot. I am getting a CTR very soon but i know i am going to wish i still had my scoob. Most reliable car i have owned.

I want a more economical car and one that is a bit smaller and less yellow
