Default I just love driving it..

Been mountain biking today in Hamsterley forest oop here in the north. Early start, we were meeting @ 0800 this morning. My drive there is around 30 miles of fast A and B roads..I set off at 0715 just as the sun was rearing its head, and what a drive it was. Roads were completely clear and dry....and quiet.. The car just bolted along, not dropping a beat all the way. Not been happier driving a car for a long long time. Recently fitted STI suspension, sports CAT, milltek and a Dynamix re-map has honestly transformed the car into a bit of a tool. Took corners superbly and that nice boom that comes on around 3000rpm had me grinning like an idiot for miles.. It bothered me not a bit I used just under 1/2 tank of V-Power, the whole reason I bought this car was to ferry my bike around on a weekend and have some serious fun at the same time. I can't believe these cars are going so cheap at the moment!!

Is anyone else bucking the trend and planning to keep their scoob and not sell at the moment?!

Having owned both, I almost feel my current MY99 wagon is more planted than my old MY99 saloon was

Its little bit complicated and not straight forward,but depends on more factors on end of the year,time will tell

I absolutely love mine too and love driving it. I bought it on a whim last year after breaking my ankle instead of a bike and I haven't looked back. Before I bought it I was using my M3 every single day and I was loving it but I think the M3 has only done a couple of thousand miles since I bought the Subaru!

You can't beat a spirited run, 75 miles to half a tank last week

Not selling mine, EVER!
halfway there with my shopping list to go from 325 to 380 ish. (I hope)
As for the Mtb, I have a specialised camber elite,

which is a lot of fun, but no where near as much fun as 120 miles to £25

Wagons rule - although my classic is for sale - to be replaced with a new age STi wagon

I've owned this car for 4 years and it's my daily/mtb carrier/dog carrier/DIY parts carrier and can honestly say out of the many Scooby's I've owned, from Type R's to new age big power JDM's, this wagon has given the most fun



Edit: And as we're on the subject of MTB's here's mine
