I went from a 2.0 Mondeo which was my first car to a Series 2 RS Turbo...... Always remember being taken out in mates mum's brand new one by his dad down some country lanes, and have wanted one since then.. When I was 8!!

Have still got the S2 in the garage, after a year of running the RS I got fed up with the wee niggly problems popping up due to it being used as a daily driver. So I bought a 1999 Impreza Turbo, with a few mods, it was a very quick car. Made 13.3 @ 103mph.

Then got a ridiculous offer from a guy I know, so sold it to him, and as part of the deal I got a 1999 Civic VTi. With a few mods on that, it made 175bhp, and did a 15.1 @ 95mph.

Then someone else I know offered me a straight swap for a 1998 Impreza Turbo and my Civic. So I got rid of that, and now have a 1998 Impreza. It currently has a few mods done to it, its a good car to drive and its pretty fast.

As a daily driver, I would choose a Japanese car.. They just seem to be more reliable day to day, through town, traffic jams etc.

If its a weekend car, it would be an RS that I would have. You can get 330bhp out of a Cossie without even trying, I know people on Scoobynet/SIDC that have spent near on 5/6k on their engines and are only pulling those figures, give or take 20bhp.

I have tried to sell the RST, however, both times I have had to call the interested people and say that its not for sale... Just cant let it go... I dont seem to have that problem with my Subaru and Civic!!
