Who cares? I bought a scoob. It is a bit tinny, the audio is cheap and nasty and it feels like a mass market car. No problem, great for shopping. Not a 20k car, until you use it for what it was made for, then you smile. Lots.

I suspect the Focus is newer, and probably fractionally better in some areas.

I live in the middle of nowhere, with no dual carriageways and lots of twisty backroads, so 4wd is magic. I suspect that a scoob will beat anything on the roads I drive on - think Wrynose pass. Horses for courses, as it were.

Just be happy
Don't deliberate on things lol

Eldar

Happy? Every time I drive it I grin like a mad thing

Brilliant motor, but the competition is catching up. No time for Subaru to sit on their laurels....

The focus comes nowhere, and I mean nowhere, near the Impreza for your kind of driving. You'd prob end up in a ditch before getting into 3rd gear. I know what you mean about the grin

Focus is a track specialist and too compromised by this to be a good road car by all accounts, the scooby rules in this company.

Eldar

Funny, innit. The more I drive it, and really understand what it can do and where the limits are, the more I like it. Particularly when it rains - it does just a little round here

Eldar,
wrynose pass is a great road. i also like the main road out of keswick towards ambleside especially the part where it splits southbound into the old part for about half a mile. haven't been for a while but am hoping to get up to applethwaite soon. any cameras been put up recently?
