Would you buy a Bugeye STI for £4000?
Well seeing as they are the best bang for buck deal atm what are peoples though on ones around £4000?
Such as - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/4057012.htm, looks a clean example.
I'm thinking of chopping my classic in soon but want a car that I no can cope with 300+ horses.

I thought about getting a 4k bug sti for about 20 seconds. Then decided I would rather pay another 2700 for a Blobeye that was only 4 months younger and had a few less miles on the clock.. So I did and I'm glad I did. If I had 4K to spend on a scooby it would be a nice classic T2000 with good spec. You can find a nice classic with better than bug STi spec easy.

I do like the prodrive style ones, but I would still have a bug sti if 4k is what I have available to spend. They are still much stronger than a classic with 5 speed etc. we all have to work within budget and the answer of putting another 2.7k to it to get a blob is not always possible. I would have liked a hawk jdm but settles on a widetrack blob as that's what I had the money for.

Bug is good for if you up for going bigger power in the future. But it's heavier, lazier.... bug with 330/330 would be outhandeled by a classic sti 330/330 , at this power a classic impreza is a very capable car

It's a better base to start from over a classic with the better engine/box/brakes, The classic might feel quicker but it soon suffers from brake fade, As Jay said its all down to power to weight not handling and the bug STi is the best value for money impreza you can buy, You can strip and break them and get over £4k for them, All IMO of course

The Bugeye RA at Hurst cars is the nicest Subaru ive seen forsale on PH since Kenny's RA-R.
Superb Spec, nice looking car with brutal potential all in one package.
Would i buy a UK Bugeye STi? Would i f*ck. The lack of DCCD is a major turn off for me. If it had it then yes. I don't like the look of them out the box but that RA forsale on PH demonstrates they can be made into a looker. It would cost far too much to make me like a UK Bug, same goes for a narrow track Blobeye. Only newage UK Scoob i'd have is the Widetrack Blob.

P.S its not the front end that puts me off, with morrettes or JDM lights i like them just as much as the Hawkeye. Its a mixture of the dated looking backend & interior ect. It just looks really cheap compared to a widetrack in my opinion. The classic on the other hand looks dated in a nice old skool kind of way.
Reliability in mind though, yes they are worth every part of £4k.

My point was you get a hell of a lot of car for your money with a bug sti in terms of what it comes with and for the price no other Impreza comes close.
IVe owned two RA's and a Bug STi so talk from experience...
...............and i disagree that the UK bug is an ugly car, i loved mine...before i stripped it..
