how many of you contain yourselves and actually drive off boost most of the time,i whent out earlier to get my youngest from nursery and managed to stop myself from getting gaoded and drove like a write bof just wondered if was the only that tried this and actually managed it

 

Im always off boost, need to save the petrol

 

bummer i am lucky i hardley do any driving as i work where i live so only get a blast every so often thank god i dont have to commute in one of these bad boys prob would hav to sell then

 

im always on boost even in my turbo van lol,

 

IMHO if your driving a scooby off boost no point having it and paying all that extra insurance etc you might as well get yaself a 1.0l Micra lol

 

Both. I conserve where I need to conserve & open it up where appropriate and relatively safe to the general public

 

Mines a 2nd car so is always booted when i get the chance to take it out

How it should be.

to be honest i dont find my fuel much different wether on boost or not, obviously totally different if im absolutely ragging it everyhwere, but in everyday drivin then i dont find much difference, i get low to mid 20's unless i go on a run and then i get around 30 ish

Driving on boost means WOT everywhere, if you have a WRX or more this is seriously booting in. I dispair with some Scoob drivers. Some idiot near me the other day in a bugeye hitting the limiter in 2nd in a 30 zone. Dangerous and stupid.

 

I dont worry about the fuel as i have said i dont drive very much. However jut bcos u have a performance car dosent mean u have to rag it everywhere does it?

 

No.

I drove mine all the way to Limoges off boost, got nearly 30mpg, fully loaded, and I MEAN LOADED.

 

or get both like me haha, its hard to drive off boost!

 

Anyway their is apart of me that likes driving slow but know i have a decent amount of power at my disposal when i whant it

 

I think when you drive a scooby as a everyday car you get to a point that you control it and not always on boost, i went from Leicester to Manchester and back and managed to get 27mpg out of the car and with 3 passengers.

When you drive a Subaru doesnt mean you need to be on boost all the time, some people may think that you should but i dont think thats the way you drive these cars.

I enjoy driving my Subaru off boost and there is so much to enjoy even driving off boost, not saying that i dont boost my car, i do but within reasons.

 

Remind me to not buy a car from one of the 'always on boost' members

Just a questions, what are we classing as 'off boost'?? I can hear my turbo spinning from about 1500rpm so technically its on boost? Is it? Or are you talking about full boost?

You can still get these things up to high speeds 'off boost'...

 

I'd like you to elaborate on this nonsense please?

Driving an impreza slowly is still a much more satisfying, enjoyable and probably safer place to be than the ragging you'd have to do in a micra to even maintain the speed limit!

 

Buy something else!

 

i class off boost as changing gear just b4 that slight surge u get b4 taking off like a nutter. maybe its somthing different for others of u?

 

Its the same with any performance car. You know you've the power at your disposal, should you wish to use it. Just because its there, it doesn't mean you have to always boot it. To be honest, its sometimes nice just to cruise along in the middle lane and enjoy the thrum of the boxer beat.

 

Its just when ever i do see another subaru (which isnt very often now) they dont really seem to be screaming around like these other nutters in TDI this, that, and the other cars like theiy have something to prove
