the flat 4 engine is a good un and a scoob that hasnt been played with will go on forever,,,,,iv had a scooby/scoobys for years now (i run a subaru forum),,,and own a 500bhp 53 plate and a mazda rx8 aswell and the scooby is loads better on fuel than the mazda and by a mile aswell,,,,,,i wouldnt ever buy a rotory again as it drinks fuel and oil like its free,,,
iv found scoobs to be good on fuel for the power you are getting as its never going to be as good as a 1.1 run around
just got to see what the connect rs (focus) is like when its done and can compare all of them then ,,,
