Just kidding guys, dont blitz me! Gotta lotta respect for the Impreza. I just looked back through my old videos on my laptop and found this. I moved from a blob WRX 2 years ago to a facelift Focus ST. Still have it and spent a bit of money on it by now. Running 300bhp/335lb

I miss the 2 old Impreza's I had, especially the noise! I might return to the fold one day!

Check out my Scooby vs ST vid!

I just fancied a change from the Subaru brand. I'd owned 2 scoobs over 4 years and felt like the bad attention they invited was getting a bit too much. Loved the cars but not the attention. Kind of went for the ST. Definitely more under the radar but still fun.....and quick.

As I said though, I can see me rekindling the Subaru love one day.

Love these comments. I was expecting more abuse to be honest. I believe that run was organised by members from SNET. Never been a fan of stickers either.

I agree, i think i saw one nice Subaru and it was the blue hawk with black wheels.

No wonder they have a bad name.
