Iv'e been thinking about a scoob for a while now but im still not convinced it's really for me, the thing that puts me off a bit is that there quite common..

To cut a long story short im pissed of with old cars! i love my Escort RS turbo and iv'e had two of em but there is a new problem each week.. at least with a newer car you wouldent get these kinda problems and no rattles lol..

I would have loved a GTi-R but again the quite old...

What could you lot say to sway me towards a scoob?

Cheers..

Oh, i how do you get the smillies to work? i keep on getting page could not be found!

 

go and get a test drive,and you will see

 

I've had mine for 6months... i thought of selling and buying a nissan skyline... and then i curbed it and had to wait for a wheel for about a month and realised how much i missed it...
Mate of mine sold his and drove a mondeo for a week and realised he couldn't be without his scooby... he whent and bought the scooby back off the people he sold it to!!!
I love my scooby!!!

as said above test drive one and you will see

 

whats the reliability like on a scoob (turbo), keeping in mind i wassnt thinking of modding the engine aprt from exhaust, filter/ d/v..

And what kinda mpg do you lot get sesible driving? and a bit of fun?
Im getting around 22mpg if a drive sensibly!

Cheers

 

Get the GTi-R... much more reliable

 

scooby is much more reliable than escort you wont have to do trackrod ends bottom arms shocks etc every month but they are fookin greedy

 

Engage turbo, then watch Gordon Brown take all your money

 

Scoobies are generaly reliable.
Much the same as your cossie - gentle when cold, let cool down and frequent oil changes.
I seem to get around 22 to the gallon no matter what i do
And for smilies - just check edit on this post and hey presto

They arent THAT common. I drive 80mile round trip to work each day (including m5) and often don't even see one..

 

Ive got an early WRX .... and im getting 25mpg ... had it 2 and half years.

 

if your going from an escort rs even the standard uk turbo would be an imorovement, even if your rs was heavily modded, would think that would be the only convincing argument you would need

 

bttt

If a scoob has around 70,000 miles on it, would you tend to avoid it?
But if serviced regulary and regular oil changes, looked after, the engine should go for much longer then that shouldent it? Or am i asking for trouble?

 

My rst is 225bhp, so it's pretty quick for an escort

 

Hmmm, another young Escort owner thinking of getting a Subaru...

The Pulsar is a much better buy, honest!

 

So it's a toss up between the Pulsar and the Scoob.. Why do you reckon the pulsar is a betetr buy? keep in mind the scoob is a much newer car then the Pulsar..

 

Think you missed the point I was making chap...

 

ah... i think i get ya..

 

ah... i think i get ya..

 

Sure?

 

yeh i agree, get a pulsar!

 

how much would get me a nice scoob? I like the earlier versions then the newer bug eyed scoob?

still cant get smilies to work though..
