My insurance for a year at my age is roughly £4500 for a 1996 WRX STI Silver.

Insurance for this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-TT-22...#ht_1058wt_937

would be £2000 a year.. Which one? I like the shape of both, the TT isn't much slower than a Scooby, 220bhpish, sti being 280bhp. Torn between the two.

On your Moneysupermarket thread the Impreza was your dream car. Whats happened since then?

I personally think you would be crazy to pay £4k+ for insuring a 15yr old scooby which makes it an easy choice hair dresser jibes aside

and still weigh's more than 100kg's than an STI.

Try getting insurance on a newer car mate, they tend to fair better due to better safety and security. The insurance cpmpanies see a 15yr old classic scoob as a higher risk than a newgae car

2 totally different cars. Sema to me you Need to make you mind up what you really want!

i know what everyone is gonna say but...why isnt anyone mentioning buying an impreza sport to the op...alot cheaper ins, can be made to look and sound like the real deal..and is a good way into subaru ownership...cant fault mine, defo not slow in the twisties..and on a recent 262 blast to wales sunday for the NWSC meetup i managed 30.86mpg..and i wasnt going slow

sounds like a confused young boy.
this was a previous quote from him

It's a 1996 Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Admiral quote between £4,200 and £4,800 depending on the day I do it :S.

Everyone who's going to take the **** do it now, I can afford to pay that so I'm paying it for my dream car, don't judge please .

then within ten mins i might get a tt or a mondeo.

or a forester turbo ..... loads cheaper on insurance and no slouch.

Wasnt going to say it myself though as im assuming somebody who fancys a TT wont be able to see the car beyond the farmer giles image!

The imp NA's are good cars! dressing them up as a turbo is however proper super g@y!

lee67

i must be gay then lol..strange that married over 24 yrs with 3 girls 23,21 and 16 and one grandchild..never knew that lol...thing is tho n/a impreza's are bulletproof, plenty on sport forum with 250000 miles and still going strong...just a good way for lads who cant insure the real deal into subaru ownership and eventually move on to a turbo..as in other threads alot on here have had sports...

AWDsu

man with the dilema....
i just bought my first scooby..... i went thru the same dilema , yeah i wanted a performance AWD , and 4x4 trucks are grotesque.
my dilema scooby v tt v volvo turbo 4x4 .

i tried them all.
volvo........im not a fish,,,gimme licence back and let me out.
tt....... get in (on the floor) no space inside,no low ratio , and its just a posing mobile , all glitter - no go , no thanks adolf u kan keep it.
scooby.....lines to die for , engine noise (ahhh) , and immense grip in the corners + the rough stuff , , , yes please i want this one.
.
In reality , there is no choice. next car will have the BIG spoiler. LoL x

I have seen TT get stuck on snow, but freelanders /scoobies get thru.

insurance was high when i was 21 but it seems its near impossible for the younger peeps to get these types off cars now.

chopperman

I cant understand why these young blokes are so impatient. Why spend 4k + insurance, high road tax, huge petrol bills ect at such a young age just to drive a performance car. Is it an ego thing?
Why not drive a normal car so your not working for your car. This money could be spent on a mortgage or something that will go up in value.

Damn ,im sounding like my dad lol

Im not knocking the NA itself, as youve rightly said, its a really good car!

I am however knocking one with a scooped bonnet, sti badges and electric speakers making waste gate noises!

I like cars that are wolves in sheeps clothing! a turbo replica NA isnt quite a sheep, more like an angry goat! but whatever it is its wearing a wolf skin coat!

get yer mum to insure it and go named driver thats what every other bugger does!

And illegal. If the insurance company can prove that the second named driver spends most of the time using the car then they invalid the insurance. It's the reason honest people have their insurance loads!

And mentioning it on an open website really helps!!!!!

How come your insurance is that high? I'm 21 and when I filled out the insurance form to see how much it is for a 2006/2007 impreza, it was £1600 with both my parents on the policy as well as 2nd drivers.

If you've used a compare website, don't -they're totally ****.

Go onto aviva and admiral and fill in their quotes directly.

A good shout, have your parents as second drivers to help bring it down.

Did you not speak to Moley_WRX on here?

My sport is going up for sale, MOT getting done next week, got WRX seats, wheels, spoiler and springs as well as a nice loud exhaust. Never misses a beat.
