The guy who i sit next to at work has just stated that the only reason that people who own fords dont really like subaru's is cos they are jealous...

I'm trying to tell him that we are really not....

Please help...!!

Oh this is coming from a guy who owns a Tipo...

mattbibs

just ask wants tea to go with his chocolate scooby pistons?!!

Big G

Obviously knows his stuff then

I am jealous, ive always wanted a vericous vein blue car with gold bling wheels and stickers all over it telling me what car ive bought just incase i forget

Stavros

OK Shell, easiest way to work it is first to explain why YOU dont like Subarus.

A lot of people dont like things without knowing why.

So why?

TheBishMan

How can we be jealous of Subaru, Hmmmm let's have a look at they're range - There's the Impreza.....um......uh......mmmm okay, what have we learnt?

cossiecrew

pmsl scoobys are cheap as fuck i was gonna buy 1 as a runaround tell him from me to shut his tipo driving mouth otherwise ill come and pay him a visit

you could buy 3 scooby's for the price of 1 average EscCos whats there to be jealous about..

nice motors tho IMO

Stavros

What i dont get is when people slag cars when the car is BLATANTLY better than what they drive in every way.

Scoobys are common as fuck, most the owners ive met are tossers, and the engine isnt exactly the ideal base for tuning, but id still have any Impreza Turbo over any FWD ford (Barring a full-on caged up track S1 which id rather have over a UK non-sti scooby), and id have a 22b over any cossie barring a RS500 (if similar power).

People have bizzare hates of cars and most dont know why, or kid themselfs why...

JAP CRAP

as above. MOst people with cossie's could afford impreza's, skylines, rx-7's, supras etc etc. I for one have no idea wtf I chose a cossie but would have it over scooby any day.

I dont like impreza's because any I have ever raced have been proper slow, they sound ok at cruising speed but I hate the way the engine note doesnt change and they dont seem to rev (as much as other cars), they are seriously common, a lot of them look wank, although they can look ok.

Joris_FRST

I don't like them because i was going to look at one and almost ripped my hand open while trying to shut the trunk

knife edge sheet metal open to the touch everywhere

cossiecrew

you can buy k plate scoobys wrx for like Ł3500 thats the price of a rough saphy

Stavros

All that shows is Cossies are overpriced

Steve200+

I don't dislike *all* of them, there's just an abundance of idiots buying them, and then fully believing their car IS the fastest thing on the road. Excerpt of conversation with bloke in beer garden of pub, (which he started). More or less verbatim, apart from last bit.

Bloke : Yeah, but my Subaru's a proper rally car though, not like your cossie
Me : *sigh* Go on, why?
Bloke : It's a rally car
Me : Your *actual* car isn't though, is it
Bloke : It fucking is, it's the same car
Me : *sigh*
Bloke : I mean, you don't see Cosworth's rallying do you? They're just not built for it.
Me : I'm going to throw myself off a bridge, I'm gutted. You're right.

I happen to quite like Scoobs

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

I don't like Scoobys cos I think they look wanky and although I've never owned either, the Cossie, whether its a saph, 3dr or Escy, is harder with much more tuning potential. Plus the inside of a Scooby looks like a Datsun!

SimonT

I must admit I used to be one of the "I hate jap cars" type of peeps. With no real reason behind it.

I fugured the fact that I only ever heard my dad going on about how bad Jap cars are rubbed off on me (bare in mind the last time he probably worked on a Jap car was 1976! )

I love my fords though as it seems to be in the blood. Ok they aint the best cars but I dont care!! I've got my little fiesta road/rally car and it does me fine! I do think cossies are overpriced for what they are. Anything that has a high demand or status amongst a group always costs more

Anyway better get back to work!

cossiecrew

wasnt the point something to do with being jealous ? how can this be when cossies are more than scoobys is the point im trying to make example k plate scooby Ł3500 f plate cossie same price you see the point im trying to make dude

Who can really hate this just cos of looks though, honestly?





Decent looking car IMO

mattbibs

the 3drs are a different kettle of fish to the usual 5door shit that go riding round late at nights with their under car neons and blacked out windows!!

Stavros

Yea, a Cossie of the same age is worth far more than a scooby, no doubt, but Cossies arnt the only fords, and that dont really mean they better does it.

Its like Shell was gonna or has put a "Scoobys are Shit" sticker on her 2i

I dont like scoobys really apart from Sti spec upwards, but my main problem with scoobys is the owners think they FAR better than they are.

But then most people who dont like em think they far worse than they are

cossiecrew

i like the 4 door ones thats why i was gonna buy 1 as a runner around plus there soooooooo cheap

cossiecrew

ima i dont remember saying they was better ?

andyhardy

Now that's a face that only it's mother can love!



That's not much better either - would be alright if it took up a career in radio

I don't think I 'hate' scooby's, just don't like them that much.

I think the relatively standard Subaru's look fairly bland and just too damn jap looking whilst the more expensive versions look good, but then almost look too OTT like I was in Fast and the Furious or something.

I'll stick with my fwd Ford thanks - I know my pistons are probably more chocolatey than a Subaru's but I know how much everything costs to run on my car whereas with the Subaru there'll be some computer/sensor/component you forgot about until it goes wrong!

danvisteon

22b's are where it is at!!! i have driven a couple and they are lovely mind you the boggo uk wrx is crap

Shell

do u know, i dont like your attitude.....

u post on my other post with attitude and again on this one...

It was only a giggle and i feel like i have touched a nerve

and why should i have to explain to you why i dont like them... i dont like the way they look, i dont like the drivers attitude, i dont like the way they sound, i dont like the way they terrorise small animals with their exhausts... need i go on... there are alot of cars that i dont like but none are particulally relevant to passionford are they?!?

do u have someting against the 2i?!?

anyways... BTTT

cossiecrew

i only like the old shape scoobys think anything other than the first shape are well ugly not saying there not quick or anything just dont like the looks

Big G

That is like making a comparison of a Rolls Royce to a Wartburg, cars in differant classes.

smudgerz

used to slag scoobys off something rotten, a mate of mine has always had them. Took him out in my cossie and he was quite impressed. He has now bought a two door sti wrx abc.... took me out in it was well suprised, fast as fook!! Had to admit that it was a nice motor

Stavros

Shell, jesus, im not having a go at you, im just asking a bloody question!

You asked if ford people were jelous, i asked if you dont like them (i dont really), dont have to get all arsey.

Do i have somthing against 2i's? No.
Do you have somthing against scoobys? Yes
Who cares, its only a car.

Shell

sorry, but its just the way i came accross...

anyways... back tohaving a light-heartd giggle...

Deano

YOU WHAT ?

Stavros

Didnt you know Deano, all Cossie exhausts are soo quiet

Oranoco

The bug eyed Imprezza is so ugly that if it were a child the midwife would hold it up by its legs and slap the mother

Deano

If she thought Scoobys were loud she should try listening to a GTR with a HKS DRAG MUFFLER FITTED

Big G

its the Jackie Stallone of the car world

Deano

I tell you what when PJ when to Brunters to do some testing with his old engine running a GT35 he removed the centre bit from his exhaust .....

OMG WAS THAT CAR LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD

THINK UNSILENCED V8 AND YOUR ONLY HALF WAY THERE

I dread to think the new engine noise will make

BlueSmoke

Sister's bloke has a scooby. Just WRX non Sti model but it is a fairly quick car and will let you easily overtake most things you'll see on an everyday drive!

He loves his car, it's his pride and joy but he has said a couple of times he'd rather have had an Evo any day if he could have afforded one. He's just a ptrolhead in general which is why me and him get on so well I think. He bought the Scoob cause it was within his price range for a brand new car.

I think the thing with a lot of Scoob owners like my bro in law is that they want a brand new car so they know it's not been thrashed to death or treated like shit in the past. As you all know, there's no Ford alternative in the showrooms. More's the pity....

Oranoco

BlueSmoke raises a valid point and put it well.

Unfortuantely some Scoob owners are so blinkered by the hype and bullsh@t that they think the only possible way of going quickly is to own an Imprezza.

I went with a mate to buy his Imprezza and the dealer told us that standard there was ample power to upset Cosworth owners and with the PPP it wasn't even worth worrying about them Maybe that's half of the problem with the owners, it's cos the dealers tell them shit like this
