P1 is so much faster and better handling than standard uk classic.I have had mine for nearly five years with no problems.Service costs seem to be the same as my old 95 impreza.Was going to sell it this year but will keep it and buy Escort Cosworth for the wife then i will have the best of both worlds.

In answer to the original question.......

Servicing costs ARE exactly the same as Classic Impreza.

With reference to other replies in this thread, you know the ones, all I can say is.....

"You can't educate Pork"

EH?? Tell you what - your brain is clearly ALLREADY jumbled

If you change the 'e' in Ben for a 'o' and reverse the letters you get ***!! sounds spot-on to me!!

What a plank

Can't be arsed to argue anymore, but lets just say that the P1 will be one of THE most collectable performance coupe's of the future. Watch this space.

This is a funny thread isnt it?

I do like this quote from Pete:

the P1 snobs have their own BBS, quite why they humble themselves to come on here baffles me!
We come on here because we like scoobies in general and dont discriminate between models as you love to do so. I think if you look on a search engine such as google that you'll find (shock horror! ) that MOST "special edition" (sorry did that sound snobbish?) scoobies have their own owners clubs. Why shouldnt we?

give up trying to wind people up mate its why many people (including myself) dont bother to come on this website much these days

maybe your just jealous deep down cos you really want one

to those of you laughing at this thread who come onto scoobynet for the love of scoobies (and not just to wind people up like pete) come on over to www.P1WOC.co.uk where EVERYONE is welcome not just P1 Owners

Funny how all these threads end up as a 'mine's better than yours' thread. The p1, when it was first released, was the fastest UK supplied scoob. With a UK scoob, atleast the dealers won't laugh at you when you call in for an oil filter. I should know, i have an sti 4. Plus, it's one of the best looking scoobs ever made (flame suit on!). So what if it is a bit softer and doesn't have dccd? Everything else on the p1 is basically the same as an sti of the same year.
Most people grow out of the ' mines bigger than yours' phase, not long after they ditch their nappies and step up to 'training pants'.

You missed the point, 'coupes'. 22b's, type R's and P1's are the only two door versions available, which will make them collectable in the future, no matter what your opinion.

You really do define 'a troll' don't you pslewis. I love my car, as do you I presume. I can also appreciate other cars such as a P1. What you are saying is that anyone who buys a p1, is a mis-guilded goon. How can they be wrong when most P1's still fetch 15- 18k??? Oh, and mines better than yours!! onder2:

2 Door Coupe versions of a nice 4 Door Rally car do not set the pulses racing!

Coupes in their own right do ...........

Hi Newbie Pete ............... the P1, forgive me if I'm wrong, LOOKS like a Shopping Trolley - you SHOULD put shopping in it!

Not being nasty, but come on, that rear spoiler ....... Tee Hee .... joke? yes?

All I know is, I prefer the stiffer bodyshell, the extra power and the superior handling of my P1 to my MY00 standard uk turbo that I used to own. P.S do your homework as to why they rally 4 door cars.

Explain to me pslewis, how the f%ck a p1 looks like a shopping trolly. Me thinks I detect a hint of jealousy! Either that or you need glasses. Would love to see your wardrobe!
