Default are scoobs rare?

Before I got a scooby, I thought they were quite common.

Now I ve got one, I ve realised how rare they are.

On my way to work everyday, I must see over a thousand cars (no im not counting) but theres not a single scooby.

so is that less than one in a thousand??? (cant be can it>?)

Try coming to Aberdeen, theres loads. Not as common as a fiesta or corsa but theres certainly quite a few knocking around. I recon on the average journey to work which is only 3 miles from my flat that I'll pass at least 3 or 4 scoobs.

Since I got mine 6 months ago i've only come across a handfull on my daily runs, 3 that iI see regularly around my area and 1 or 2 extra when I'm out of town, to be honest I see less scoobys than I did ITR's when I had that, saw 4 ITR's on way home day I bought it (only ever seen 1 before I bought it). Around my area (West Leeds) scoobys are quite rare, but I dont do more that 120 miles a week so maybe thats why I dont come across many. Still a rare prestige car in my opinion and always gets a lot of turned heads.

It's funny, before you own a certain type of car, you'll hardly see any. But as soon as you start driving said car you'll spot millions of the *******!!

Plenty round here, see at least 2 every day without fail, but they are obviously rarer than Corsa's, Fiesta's etc

Nahhhh!

You dont see many where you guys are because they all hide in Nottingham. Lurking in the dark ready to jump out on unsuspecting old ladies to steal their shopping and chase after little kids for their lunch money!

Honestly Nottingham is scooby hideout!

We've got quite a few round Stafford, most days we see a fair number round & about.
We've also got at least 2 Ferraris, 2 or 3 Aston Martins, 3 Porsche Cayennes & a couple of TVRs that can all b spotted on a fairly regular basis!
Bet there's quite a few towns haven't got any of those!

I think it depends on where you live, cos I hardly see any around Bedfordshire

When I go to N Yorkshire to see my olds, they're all over the place

EDITED: Just to add that I've just driven 60 odd miles into London and I sawe a grand total of 2 Scoobs compared to the many other makes of cars

Sounds like Billericay (near Chelmsford) I don't live there but drive through it regularly. Apart from the cars you mentioned there's a yellow Lamborghini Murcilfdgdkr...thingy about.

In my neighbourhood there are at least three scoobies including mine. I see between 2 to 4 on my 50 mile round trip to work. So they are pretty rare for a mass produced car.

There are loads in Norfolk/Suffolk. If you're ever in Norwich or Great Yarmouth you'll see them everywhere.

It depends where you live, and in no way do I mean this to be a racist comment but in predominantly asian areas there seem to be more.
In Bradfrod there is literally one on every street corner - no exageration, same in Blackburn and Oldham, when driving through you would spot at least a dozen in 5 minutes.

Yet go to other towns or parts fo the country and you might not see a single one all day.

Overall I'd say they were more common than the competition - Evo's etc. but then the prices are so low at the moment they will be. £5k for a £20k+ car when it was new.

In my area they are quite rar.. but i dont do many miles so dont really see many.

I have never seen another one like mine however ever, so i consider mine to be rare compared to the usual brand new mica blue wrx
