NEW LITCHFIELD MY08 TYPE 20 TEST DRIVE (caution long read)
#31
The thing a Subaru gives you that most other marques do not, is upgradability...
If you bought an M3 or Porker you'd be far less likely to tinker with it in a year or 2. Whereas the T20... I could see a number of tweaks a subaru enthusiast would want to install...
There are a number of clasics and newages on here with £k's spend on them.... they're upgrade cost/market value is just as bonkers asd buying a £37k impreza... they just haven't added up the £'s and time spent

I'm going to put your numbers on each week too. That way if you ever win you'll only be getting half the jackpot at best

- I bought all my scoobs by driving them and not by looks
- The MY08STi UK/EU is in a far better starting place than a STD UK 4Door
- I could feel £3K of improvements made to a Base 4door newage STi
- I couldn't feel enough improvements made with £3K to the Base newage hatch STi
- The MT08 T20 did it all for me, driving heaven
CD no problem sharing anything bar saliva

I would like to think this myself but for example you could get a 996 03 turbo with
2003 03 Reg PORSCHE 911 996 Turbo - c£39k Upgraded to 670BHP!!! <-- with less than 40k miles...
I think that would be enough for anyone If you check autotrader you can find many with some good tweaks and getting anywhere near 0-60 in 4 seconds and to top it great looks, these cars like the RS4 are very appealing.... Note I do like my Subaru but they are not the best cars even now within their price bracket as you can get the cars I mentioned above at different years like 03 and up for good prices.....

I used to think to make the same arguments but with prices the way they are now and the prices being asked for some subaru's,... well there are just a lot of very good options out there imho
