Default Went out in my friends P1 yesterday

Went out in my friends P1 yesterday. Its running 300bhp. Compared to my cossie the engine was quiet, the suspension was soft but fuck me the car handled well!!! I actually quite like the P1 but why would anyone buy one over a cossie????????????????????????????????????????
He wants me to take him out in the cossie next week i reckon he'll shit himself!!!!

Hazarding a guess people buy them cause there new and in warranty and having them as a company car is ideal. I use to use my car allowance for my last Cossy but other people got the hump as they couldn't pass it and it was too old

P1's are nice imo and the power delivery is nothing like a Cossy as its so smooth and progressive in comparison, so yeah your mate will probably shit himself

Dunno if I would have a P1 instead of a Cossy (one of similar power I mean) but I would deffo have a P1 - probably the only Subaru I would be totally happy owning (cept maybe a 22B)

The 22B is deffo the one to have, but the prices are still up in the air ....... For an everyday car I'd have a P1, but for out and out fun then a Cossy running a genuine 350bhp+ would be the one for me

P1 over a Saff - definitely... Over a 3dr... Hard choice as the 3dr is such an icon to me

Over an Escort Cos? Well if the Escort had the same performance as the P1, then EsCos wins
