dear misty,point taken,thanks for the advice, flopsy.

 

The real world, where most of us do most miles peeps that have driven the FQ400 & FQ340 reckon back to back, the FQ340 would beat it on the A and B roads Far to laggy in comparison on a Track different story. The FQ340 is a very impressive driving package but hasn't move forward on the Comfort/everyday use side. Where as the MY05STi has improved in all areas.

The T25 is a very quick Family Car at the price and wouldn't at all be ashamed being in the same company of either Mitzy

IIRC IMHO

Great looking for a new Car for April, Its my 50th and cars 3rd Birthday

Tony

ps At the moment Scoobs forfills most of my needs

 

Makes some very interesting reading.
Scooby did well Boxster did better and it was only the standard one.
Hopefully the Boxster S will be even better , will let you know when mine arrives in the new year.

Grant

 

Or b00b jobs.

 

50!!! never? hows the new jag sound? lol i aint having it 50! No sorry

 

Not read all of this cos I cant be bothered with all this EVO v's Subaru crap.

My only contibution is how fast would a subaru be if they reduced the service time to the frankly rediculous 4,500 of the evo's

I like both and nearly got an EVO but the sales people were frankly rubbish and pi55ed off for a joy ride in there demo car while i was waiting for a test drive so I got a P1 instead.

 

Another one who doesnt have a clue!

The 4500 services have nothing to do with the engine, its the AYC Fluid change for the rear diff

 

Perhaps, but I think the rest of the posting hits the nail on the head.

They're both great motors but I prefer the scoobs, so got one. I love it and really couldn't give a to55 if someone thinks their Evo is better than my scoob.

 

C,
I thought they have now changed the AYC intervals inline with the 7.5k service intervals?

Tony

 

Don't you lot get bored of this ?

 

Tony - Im not sure on the later cars to be honest

I know the AYC diffs are stronger in the 7 & 8 but I dont know about the service intervals.

 

So how much is an ayc service at a dealers ?

 

Soon as a Scooby vs EVO thread starts, everyone has something to say!
I think both cars are great and on the road both cars are respected by each other. I've just changed by 01 wrx for an 03 STI PPP but went to look at the EVO's first. The only thing that turned me away from having an EVO was the lack of dealers and the cost of purchase. EVO's hold their price better than Scoobys FACT. BUT you can now get a 2nd hand scooby in excellent condition for less while performance is similar to EVO.

 

Yep DOB 1:4:55 but have the Scoob keeps me grining and therefore don't look my age. JAG never I reckon get another Scoob and I'll look 25 by the time in 60 LOL

Tony

 

blow me...... would never say you were the big 50! Definatly keeping me scoob now, wish owning a scoob could help with weight problems lol

 

see what happens when u mention subaru and evo in the same thread!! I heard the new my05 sti goes round mini roundabouts at 6k rpm in 2nd and is stuck to the road...

like for like really, if i had the money, i would have 1 of each, but i dont, so i have an evo just slightly better at most things, but it depends what you want it for

if you want a nice interior, buy a bmw

if you want a road going track car that can be modified, that everyone looks at cos of its rareity, that accelerates pretty much as fast as most supercars on the road, that outhandles pretty much anything and has 4 doors for family if need be, you buy an evo.

on the other hand

you could try to keep up with the above on the cheap and buy a subaru.

most consistent comment in evo vs scoob threads

" I heard subaru are bringing out "xxxxxxx" this will defo beat the evo" yawn

 

I LOVE MY SCOOB AND MY EVO BUT GIVE ME A AUDI RS6. THIS CAR HAS THE LOT.BEST CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN .(BIT TO PRICEY AT THE MOMENT) WHEN THEY DROP TO 35K ILL BE HAVING ONE.
NOW PLEASE DONT TELL THE SCOOBY IS BETTER THAN AN AUDI RS6.

 

YEH DON'T TELL ANYONE, LETS KEEP IT TO OURSELVES
SCOOB BEATS RS6 SHOCKER!

Dipster

 

 

lol

 

Don't to upset you but the RS6 came last in the EVO "Car of the year"

Mog

 

my brother has just bought a rs4 what a machine.. i have to say they are some car.

i will have to put him to the test rs4 vs tweaked spec c. mmmmmm a new thread?

 

Dipster it wont be long before someone has ago.It will probably start.

STANDARD WRX WITH OPTIMAX AND OCTANE BOOSTER BATTERS RS6

 

We sold our 440bhp RS4 to buy the Spec C Type 25 and was deffo the right thing to do.

Mog

 

There's so little difference that unless you are talking about top class drivers on a track, it's all down to the driver as to which beats which on the road.

On the subject of Evos, do they have such a thing as the 'Evo Wave'?
I have waved/nodded at a few Evos and they all seem like miserable *******. Maybe it's cause they're jealous??

 

yeah i agree there a right bunch of victor meldrews (i dont beleive it!)

 

PMSL whooops pmsl

Sorry I have to disagree, I get more waves back from EVO's than I do Scooby owners in Herefordshire perhaps to busy dreaming about sheep LOL

In fact, I normally wave or Flash lights and get a nod from most EVO owners. Bar from the obvious keyboard ribbing that goes on most EVO owners are just Car Enthusiast and Freindly guys like us sorry to break the myth

Tony

 

you maybe right. if thats true evo mag dont know#';'#;#'#'

 

surely car preference is subjective to the person who wants the car?
For me, nothing (except a 22b, GT40 or Dodge Viper) will ever make me want to get rid of my Type R. Same answer if money were no object! For ME - the Type R is a perfect car, for the father-in-law for example - his proton is a perfect car - yet i Think they are sh!te!

I should think things would be closer between a type R and an evo (evn if the Evo did go faster round a track).

I have driven an Evo, and although a fantastic car - to ME, I would have the Type R any day of the week!

 

Well, my two penneth:-
After driving my mates FQ300 on Saturday (and making him turn white in the process!! ), I really did consider cancelling my Type R that I should be picking up next Wednesday and going to see our local Mitsi dealer. I really enjoyed it and found it very easy to drive and after 10 mins or so on some really twisty, bumpy back roads out in the sticks (up to 60mph ) I felt very comfortable (ish ) driving it. It felt easier to drive than the Type R did on my test drive (back end got pretty out of shape at one point). However, sense prevailed cos I only thought about it for a minute or so, the interiors are bloomin horrible and I dont think they have the same character as a scoob. Funnily enough, we passed a Discovery with a Tommy Makkinen Evo 6 on a trailer... he waved (Evo wave??)

To sum up, the Evo is good but scoobies rule
