Default what would you buy with a budget of 7 to 10k?

ive got abit money coming my way nd im stuck for what car t buy.

ive always loved subaru's & ive swore down since i was 13 that id own one 1 day but round my way the older models have given it the chav factor

what i realy like is:

. impreza sti with prodrive bugeye or droopeye (love them)
. megane f1 about 56 plate (shite dash look lush & go arite)
. astra vxr (not 100% looks, nice interior)
. mk1 frs (not sure)
. focus st2/3 (bottom of list)

your opinions on above be great,

cheers nic

Judging by your comments after each car I'd say you've already made your mind up.

If it was me I'd get me a nice sorted evo 6 or 7

As they said.

Real nice 6, pretty good to very good 7, or low end of decent 8s too.

Certainly if a Scoob ticks your boxes, then an Evo should too, and more so.

All in my unbiased opinion

I think an evo 6 or 7 for that money as you could get a good spec'd one for that money. what about this:

thats most of the pasionevo spoken for wheres the passionbmw lot?
I'd go for the mk1 frs or maybe a ST.
or maybe go even further afield and look at 200sx's etc.

Get a blobeye STi if your heart is set on one. Ever since I was little I loved scoobys and don't care if people think they are chavtastic they are fucking ace and are on par with Evos despite what people say in the real world there will be nothing in it. Awesome noise, like the blobeye looks not a fan of the bug eye and a PPP one will be mint.
