Just got a itch that really needs itching I think we one of these... prob a ragtop on about 05 plate.. anyone had any experience with them? What they like to love with everyday use etc.??
Any tips or anything that's a must on these bar the 1000 mile service???
Cheers folks

 

My only experience is that they mostly belong in the other marques section

 

great cars( i have a E90 M3 saloon as my daily drive ), but compare to my P1 .....its abit boring !

 

nice but boat like and expensive to work on
iv just got rid of a 54 plate , exhaust and mapped but it board me due to its weight

stu

 

Woops

 

 

A pal has one. It's unfortunately in the garage at the moment after its engine decided to **** itself.
I think it's a lovely car, looks good, sounds good, nice inside etc but just doesn't get your adrenaline pumping. Not overly fast and quite a heavy lump to throw around. Will feel very cumbersome compared to you classic.

 

Ye they are a nice motor i swapped my hawkeye with my mate for a week .he had a 52 plate one .nice car but u just cant beat the shear pace of the subaru on the backroads it felt heavy was easily out classed by the scoob !

 

So I'll miss the Scooby..
Even if it is a swap for some creature comforts

 

I wouldnt expect too much mate they dont even come with a drinks holder .not a lot of luxuries to say there a 40 k car

 

Classy car, I was looking at getting rid of the Scoob for one, then I drove it again.... maybe when I hit my 30's !!

 

I'm 33 :-)

 

I was foolish to think turning 30 would turn off the Impreza love!

Certainly not in a rush myself! Got 8 years on you Craigy!

 

If you do get one just make sure you drive it better than this young chap:

 

Chronic understeer! (The irony).

 

 

That tends to happen when the wheels are in the air

 

I had the csl........the only car I have regretted selling

 

Couldn't afford the csl......
Been looking at m5s too. There's a lot of car the money there

 

Had the m5 aswel.....diff went after to much abuse
Both good cars......don't listen to the scare story's about the smg2 box , normal fault is just a £5 relay

Nip over to m3cutters site for a look , tis a friendly forum

 

Id have this over an M3 everyday of the week...

lol

I didn't suss that - explains how easily it went straight on.

 

So you would rather have a boat?

 

One of the best all round drivers cars available imo.

Anyone that says they are not fun and prefers a Scoob for that reason, quite simply does not know how to drive RWD.

If you're a driver more than a "modder", this is one the best cars to get.

 

Errrrrmmmmmm,,,, an rs4 avant weighs just 60kg more than a M3 coupe and actually 40kg less than an M3 convertible.
Add in the fact it has 35 more bhp, 55lbft more torques and ofcourse audi's 4x4 system it's by far a match for an M3 and far from a boat.

 

100% with you on that bud,

the M3 is just a stunning all rounder's, totaly different to a scoob,
now having an M5, , (in the for sale section) ,wow even better IMO than the M3, a few more
pony's to compensate the weight, the sound of the V8 and total luxury
win's me over, realy dose feels like your driving a supercar .

What sort of mpg does it return, being a big V8 and 450 bhp?

 

6th gear 75 mph = 30mpg.
having fun about =12-15 mpg, soooooooo worth it tho.
average = 25mpg.

I think 25mpg average is a bit optimistic.
