Had my first experience of an RS today, admittedly in the pouring rain, but have to say it was very impressive.
Maybe more of a grown ups performance car, in that you can still easily have a conversation with minimal noise, but hit the loud pedal and it makes some nice sounds and pulls very well.
Have driven much quicker scoobs, but as a real world do everything fun car it does seem to be very very good.
Obviously i'll have to reserve final judgment until I have driven one properly in the dry.
Hint, hint

As most definitely an old un, the blue would be my choice, but you have to admit the green is stunning, though maybe a bit much for the golf club carpark?

Saw a White one today on the A1 heading North. Thnk it's a case of the owner not liking the mpg. He was glued to 70mph trying to eek out a few more miles to the tank.

Lol, he is a bit. He'll be 62 in January and doesn't usually buy fancy cars, but in the past year or so he's been through a VX220 Turbo and a WRX-S. Bought while he's been waiting on this turning up.
He tends to let me use the cars till he fancies a shot. He's far from a fast driver, so they need a clearing out now and again.

Finally saw one in white yesterday.
I'm sure they are great but it looked utterly ridiculous. Covered in huge plasticky spoilers, the daftest rear splitter ever (reminded me of a plastic cutlery draw "tidy") and massive too.
They look better in pictures.

Think these cars look real nice, especially the green and white, think green would be my choice tho and i love the black bits aswell. Only thing i dont like with them is the wheels but then im not a big fan of multispokes hence why i took them off my impreza. I think a nice set of big black fat 5 spoke would look nice and go well with the other black bits.
Id love to have a go in one so i could see for myself how it compared to my impreza, there is a green one up the road from me. All i would be scared of with a green one would be some jelous idiot scratching it as some do, bet it wouldnt be a cheap paint job.

I've seen two white ones now, one blue and one green, white would definately be my choice, the blue is subtle, didnt notice it till it was along side me, I think I would get fed up of the green colour after 6 months if I owned one
