I sometimes drive down to Milton keynes and Reading and am lucky to see 1/2 on the whole journey

Generally they are not Motorway cars

but the worrying thing is outside McDonalds or where the boyracers/chavs hang out there is a lot aways of them with 15 year old blonds dressed in their Mark one clothes in the passenger seats dreaming of their own council houses next year

Only funny because its true! No . .Subaru's are far from common . . .Mini's . . Now those are as common as garden compost! Saying that, I increasingly see subaru's, especially newage, with the infirm driving them, and the Scoopless brigade is generally reluctant to exchange salutation! Subaru , I believe are trying to make them a genuinely mainstream car!

Disclaimer . . Did not knowingly wish to offend any mature members of the Scoobynet . . Age is generally a sign of wisdom!

It's a mass produced car AND it's imported by the boat load - of course it's common! Looking at Pistonheads there are about 170 for sale. I think only the 3 series beats this with over 200 for sale. And remember, the 3 series has probably more than 30 variants. The Impreza has about 3!

A total of 12500 Subarus sold in the UK during 2004, does not make the Impreza a common car... The Ford Focus sold over 18000 a month in 2005. It's a common car.

I went Leeds twice last week and only saw two blob eye stis, an RB5 and one other classic. No bug eyes at all.

I wasn't counting but probably saw a thousand bmws and a million (approx) ford focusses.

Well I guess it does depend on your location too. My 7 mile drive to work has me seeing 5 other Imprezas in total - 3 newage and 2 classic. The road that I live on has 3 newages including mine (not strictly true actually cos I just sold mine).

I'm still sorry to say that the scooby was more common to be seen last weekend (Saturday to Monday) in and around Torbay. I counted 9 on the road and 1 forsale in Torquay and 1 forsale in Paignton in dealers, both asking stupid prices.

As for seeing Audi's, I saw 4 and 4 BMW's.

Whatever model you've got, go to a dealer and ask for a value, then you'll see what I mean about the bottom has fallen out of the pan. They don't want them anymore because theres too many of em!!
