Default Cossies vs Scoobys

Be fore i start i dont want this turning into world war 3 alright so play nice

Whats your opions on scoobys persionly i dont like them i have always been a cossie fan and have never found the scoobys appealing probley because you see 5-6 every day

Whats other people opions from looks, tuning wise, handling, sex appeal etc etc

AS i said im only asking peoples opions so dont start slagging each other down

the impreza is a good chassis and the engine has character and a good spread of power

but i'm a ford fan and i prefer a cossie - although that may be because my cossies were always RWD

Far too coomon and personally think they are an exspensive chav cruiser mobile.

although, if i really had to have one, it would be a P1 (if there was one available).

But in all honest, i would rather chew razor blades than own a scooby.


Its all about cossy's for me... Even after owning my escort cossy, i still to this day look back to the drive at the car when i go to work. Even when its the cover too....Sad, but i probably aint the only one.

The only Impreza i would have would be a 22B

I have driven a couple, yes they are quick and fun to drive, but
they have no caracter and are a bit boring IMO.

I just prefer the feel and sound of a cossie.

I loved having a sti and a cozzie or a cozzie and a evo or a couple
of imprezas,you then can compare them properly.
i have had about 10 imprezas and the best are the STI'S.
my favourite was the Version 2 STI TYPE RA.
mine had allsorts done in JP and was a credit to the geezer who
owned it,i bought it off a rally team who works with PRODRIVE


they can almost be economical and cheapish to service.

never had a estate or one of them awful Gravel Express jobs as selling
them isn't easy

any one ive ever drove feels flat in comparison to an evo or cossie but then they did have a tad more power.even a chipped sti doesnt burst into life like an evo.for value and performance the type ra and but the only nice looking one i think is the wr1.

Would have a P1 or Type RA, not keen on the 22b though. Def preferr the Scooby WRC car to the Focus WRC, lets not mention the Mitsubishi Evo WRC.

Alot of people think they sound good but after a while it would get on your nerves I think.

the scooby wrc is the only wrc that sounds good - all the others sound so flat and lifeless. the scooby sounds more like a revvy n/a than a muffled turbo

I personally like them, mate got one, but i have never been in it. Come to think of it i have never been in one. If it was the only car in the world left to own, i,d rather catch a bus The reason for that is they are every where.

Their a victim of their own success, which means idiots get hold of them & they get a bad rep. People may of said the same about Cossies back in the day, when they were the car to be seen in.

I have driven all of them and you have to love the cossies i know cossies interia s are now looking a little dated but the jap cars are god dam cheap inside and unless they are heavily tuned they are no fun , where as a 250 bhp rwd saff can still make me smile

I had a wrx a few years ago before i got the cossie and would say they are a better drivers car, always felt you sat more in the scoob rather than on the escort. Saying that would still always choose the escort
