just wanted your opinion on wether the bug eye uk300 scooby will ever be a classic car wether you hate it or not

 

will the bugeye ever be a classic?
im off asap before the abuse starts!!

 

It already is

 

+1

 

+3

 

oh yes
love it or hate it it was a classic the day it was born

 

I don't think it will. The desire has no signs of being there now so can't see that increasing with time. imo

 

I think it will be as it is the first of the Newage and did you see the rally car? +

 

ive had two bugeye prodrive styles and there great cars but future classic thats a hard one as she said!!

 

The only bug that will end up being a "classic" will be the S202.

whats the S202? pictures please!

 

The only classic that will be a classic is the 'Classic'

 

I'm surprised by how well the UK300 holds its value. Where normal bug WRXs are only just a little higher in value than old UK "classics". The UK300 seems to have a couple of grand over its WRX cousin - for nothing more than seats, lights and spoiler.

Although I guess this could also be said for Prodrive Bug STIs. They command a few grand over vanilla bug STIs. Prodrives "might" become classics but they aren't much loved even now. I prefer Prodrive bugs to blobs.

oooooooooo i like that

 

+1, 17 yrs old and yet people still continue to buy them

 

+2. Mines 10 now. Happy Birthday my 'Classic'.

 

Rare as rocking horse poo though, you cant import them any more, limited production run, 320ps from the factory (it was the first subaru to break the 280ps barrier), tweaked nicely by STI, titanium exhaust muffler (as the japs call it, backbox to the rest of us lol), grooved brake discs, really nice Ray's alloys, lightweight as it was based on the 2002 Spec C, VF34 single scroll turbocharger (roller bearing), front mounted oil cooler, fantastic out of the box car.

Mostly Chavs now, unfortunately.

 

Here's some pics of my old S202 which was without a doubt the best Impreza I've owned or driven.

And a pic of the car after I'd had it professionally detailed and the wheels refurbed.




As Tony had said a real factory special edition, STi tweaked virtually every aspect of the car.

Sorry to say that the UK300 cannot hold a candle to the S202, but I do believe that Bugeye's are very under-rated cars and once you get used to the looks of the front end they are a very good car. As for the WRC Bugeye they are the just car ****.

 

well ,,, i love my bug !!!

 

Burns related so cool as any of the best Scoobys. Classic? No.
