Angry Thinking of selling - only had car 2 months :-(

Evening all,

Thinking of selling my impreza or trading it in for a normal un-noticed car

Im fed up of the comments, beeps, races wanted and slezzy men coming onto me because of the car I drive!!

Why do men always think with their pen*s first? I wish I could just drive my car hassle free!!

Really starting the get me down cos its winter and im fully clothed, how about in the hot summer when I have limited clothes on, just gonna be worse!!

Rant Over ... giving it till end of week to make my mind up

I hope you keep your car and find a way of letting all the other stuff go over-head. It's the kind of thing which is rife in many other aspects of life where people feel compelled to look at their own choices because of the actions of others who have sod all better to think about. Your car your choice, **** what anyone else thinks and if you change your vehicle it should be for no other reason than you may decide you'd like something else lol

Seems a real shame you feel you have to sell your car because of this is it really that bad or something you can ignore?

If you sell the scion you will no doubt miss it and probably feel worse than you do now!

Completely agree with the comments above. It is unfortunate that the impreza's carry stigma...no matter what your sex is.

My wife drives our RB5 daily and gets a bit pee'd off with same situation as you.

Just let it wash over you. Most people are just jealous or don't have a feckin' clue about cars or what it feels like to drive a 'connected' saloon.

Chin up and right foot down.

Seems a shame to get rid of a car because of a few idiots.

well all i can say is you obviously dont like your car very much,if you want to sell it because the opposite sex are beeping and showing you some attention.now its a different matter if they are wanting to steal it or damage it.there is a very simple solution to your problem,enjoy your car and ignore what other people are doing.

I would give your car a second look. IMHO any car looks better in black.
As for who's driving it, well neither here nor there really for me. Whether your a munter or a stunner you would get a nod and the thumbs up.

Should you sell?? Nooooooo!
We all get the 'come on' for a traffic light grand prix, male or female. Just treat the sleazy jamf's like you would in a club. Give them that look that you girlies give. You know, the one that says '**** off you ****'! Enjoy your car and **** anyone else.

You have a Performance car you going to get attention, Surely you must have realized this when you bought it? If i saw a nice car then ill give it a look, I often get people staring as there go past or kids in backs of car both looking out the rear window, I just take it as praise

thats a stealth machine which actually as the opposite effect, if you went for a silver one you might not get as much attention but black car with dark wheels is the thing to some ppl.

Car looks great, don't get rid just because of the comments and arseholes. Can't really see your avatar but it is probably down to the driver and not the car
