Scoob wins all the way standard.
People keep mentioning them blowing up. It is mostly the jap cars what do seem to go and not the uk cars. Probably something to do with the different ron rating of the petrol we get over here. Remember over in japan they were ran on 100 ron.
I owned a uk scoob and cossie at the same time and i only ever drove my saph but it wasnt standard. My scoob was excellent of the mark but was gutless once into 4th. I miss the noise as well since i got rid of it. Cossie noise more than makes up for it though
All in all there a very good all round car for the money IMO.
But im a ford man and love my cossie too much
