A bit above your budget and still a Subaru but most important of all fun and practical!

thats a tough one i think a volvo s60r remapped with a few mods .good family car ,cheap insurance , practical , reliable , 4 wheel drive with over 300 bhp meant to be very comfy and brilliant handling too !

Skoda Octavia VRS, quick, fun and really cheap to run.

But no scobby!

Take the badges off and spend all day upsetting reps Then become a dodgy mini cab at night to save up for your next scooby.
