Hi mate,
i got my first scooby about a month and a bit ago and its a bug eye, i absolutely love it its a blue/black wrx. i have been in a few classics but not driven one so cant really compare the two. i find the bugeye really comfortable and easy driving. Not sure what else i can really tell ya as im a bit of a newbie. Dunno if thats any help

more comfortable seats, more reliable and the power delivery is smoother, but don't worry its still got the kick in the teeth. although maybe not a huge kick at standard torque and horsepower.

My classic 300bhp deals with 350bhp new age.....

new age much more reliable thought...But not as fun...

New age can be everyday car..classic weekend blast tool....

if your talking about the STI versions for both then i have to say the bugeye is better (in my opinion) my dad has a version 6 (last of the classics) & the car is truley amazing but it lacks the 6th gear something my version 7 (bugeye) has plus i modded the looks of my newage & recon it looks more nicer then a modded classic does

A standard Bugeye WRX is very bland, overweight and underpowered in comparison to todays performance cars. Seriously consider the Bugeye STI as they are leagues ahead of the WRX and a serious car when fettled with.
Something like this is worth every penny. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2046884.htm

Not many subaru owners leave their cars standard though,
Mine? I picked up a very bland wrx and, even if I do say so myself, turned it into a desirable motor that I am proud to own.
I never set out with a large budget to blow, I got hold of the spoiler, skirts, exhaust, foglight covers, suspension at good prices, the little touches like the carbon side markers (which are back on now after being replaced with fresh ones) and clear repeaters cost a few quid only anyway.
