So i see subaru UK are putting plenty of effort into advertising cars again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, at horse trials,,,,,,,,,,,,,


ffs

 

Lots of landowners like the Legacy.

 

Went to watch the local'ish point to point horse-racing yesterday. Sponsored by Subaru / the local dealer.

3 cars on display. You've guessed it...
1 x (Legacy) Outback
1 x Forester
1 x XV
0 x anything else

 

Why would a farmer/landowner want an Impreza?

TBH, why would ANYONE, these days, given the chocolate engines, poor after sales service and crap design?

 

There's some history - don't forget Subaru's first route to market in the UK was via agricultural dealers - hence why the farming community bought into them in the first place. My local dealer (Culverwell) is still primarily an ag dealer.

 

I believe Scoobyclinic actually started out as an independent Subaru Forester specialist, for all the farmers in the region.

 

First new Subaru I seriously went to look at was a Legacy 2.2GX Estate in early 1990.
Again, the franchise an agricultural dealer - down a country lane near Garstang. Inspired route to market ? Still a franchise when the Impreza turbo was launched in 94.

 

Started as a body shop actually iirc.
