Problem is for the money I have it's either a min classic or a bug, I'd ideally want a remapped Blob.

I've failed.

Its a shame when financial matters mean you have to change your car, thats why I had to get rid of my RB5

I have noticed WR1's have fallen in value a lot the last 12 months I just dont think the colour suits the Impreza shape that well.

I agree that there is something altogether different about Subaru Impreza's.

I am on my third now and cant see me driving anything else unless some unforeeable circumstance forces me into something else. And even if that did happen I would end up back in an Impreza anyway.

The Impreza in my pic on the left is my second one which I drove off a bridge last April.

I am now in a Hawkeye STI.

I started out in a Bugeye WRX, then moved to a blobeye STI.
Now a Hawkeye STI.

I just dont know what it is about them but after 7 years of driving one I am nowhere near bored.

Same!! My mrs VRS is a little cracker, black with black leather interior. Has had the Jabbasport treatment too and it's a hoot to drive.

Sometimes feels there's not much in it between the two in gear in a straight line!

Apoligies if it's been said. But I've skipped to the end to give my 2p

But "what is it with these scoobies"

Impreza's have character, and have it in spades

You know when you go for for a spirited drive, then you pull up yer drive, let it settle for a min, turn the engine off. Then it's bink, bink, tink, bink-in away. You've got a big cheesy grin across yer chops, then (we've all said it)

I love this car

The evo never did that for me

Amazing.

I've not had a Scoob long, but I really can't imagine topping it anytime soon.

My names jake and I'm a Scooby addict.

I've had a 2.5 STI, a P1 and now I have a spec c. I've had other cars too, including some that were objectively better, but none quite had the same character.

I think I will always have one in the garage.
