got to be the scooby, cant believe how basic the focus RS is

Redkop

If you have that sort of money to spend, why not get an EVO or an Esc Cos? At least they hold their money and are nowhere near as common as the mass produced Scoob. Even Scoob owners are realising that their cars are no longer iconic and are being called the latest 'chav' cars.

Redkop i agree 100% they are getting common, Evo's ar not Escos's are not nether are Focus RS''s


Look else were mate imho

if you want to lose a stack of money on a car.....buy the scooby

he already has a esc cos so thats out the question


if you've lost the "thrill" of driving th focus, get the scooby, but it will loose more money then the focus ;

Redkop

In the New Year I will be looking round for a 2nd car, a Scoob will not be on the list though. At the moment I have narrowed it down to 2 cars, both totally different, but ones that seem to be holding their prices pretty well. I did have 2 types of new cars on the list, but seeing how much prices drop in the first 12 months, have binned that idea.

buy the time this post is finished the scooby will be a grand less

FRS newer and a good interesting drive

Stealth Bomber

If you can't decide, you deserve neither

Stavros

Impreza WR1s are 2004 cars...

Kev.H

sorry not up on scoobies thought he meant a sti version 1 which i guessed was old if there even is a sti wrx v1 ?

do u mean the new one that looks like it stole a seat grill dunno why they have done that

Stavros

No not that.

And the answer why is to make the nicest looking Scooby yet
Just look a lil wierd in pics

Kev.H

nicer nicer erm nicer i keep saying it and thinking of the pic i saw to make it nicer you say nope just makes it looks like a seat and the roof lip spoiler lordy lord

Oranoco

The new Scoob looks utter wank! The bug eyed car was hideous and they cottoned onto this quickly and changed the lights to make it look a little less nasty and now they balls it right up again and make the new one look like a Seat.

I'd keep the FRS, Scoobies are just far too common. They are a clit car, every cnut has one

dickycox

iv got an escort cos just cant make my mind up

dickycox

they are a good drive mines blue find and de cat with mongoose pipe think from100 mph it would kill the scooby

i used to always want a Escos which i still do but since being out in my mats Evo 8......id have an Evo anyday

dickycox

looks like i should keep the focus then dont like the evo 7 or 8 got an escort cos just think the wr1 looks nice

Stavros

Focus or Impreza, there are far more Focus's in the UK than Imprezas.

Focus RS or WR1 Impreza, there will be more Focus RS's than WR1s.

You need to buy my tme

*this is not a for sale post*

Doesn't sound like it'll be much quicker than the FRS other than off the line where the 4wd will count but in 3 years the FRS has lost a max of 5-6k whereas that scoob (Ł29,995 new) has lost up to 10k in it's first year....what'll it be worth this time next year? I'd guess about the same as a good FRS!!

AndyP

Buy a chipped S3 for Ł12k and spend the rest on mods

This is not a for sale post

Oranoco

True but not of the RS variety whereas every twat and his gran has an Impreza turbo

When there's so little to distinguish between the vast majority of them, who cares

I stand by my comment and would keep the Focus. If for no other reason than when it comes sale time the Focus will be worth more than a tenner

Redkop

I've got an Esc Cos too which I won't be selling, but I still won't be looking at Scoobs in the new year, top of the list at the moment is an Evo, which IMO is a far better car and better looking.

Rich_w

I think for Ł20K you can get

]

P1 - Which is still relatively rare This one is Ł14K on Piston heads
(in fact theres a 22b on Autotrader for Ł25,500)



Evo 6 This one is Ł14K on Lancer Register



GTR 33 (this one from GTR.co.uk for Ł17K)

Plus the obligatory E36 M3 or maybe a miley early E46

22B mate if you want a real scooby?or a mint escort cossie

GOT2BZETEC

Why do you need 2 cars nearly the same(before you start you know what i mean!)

larks

WR1 is a far better car then a focus rs 300bhp from standard against 212bhp,4wd vs front wheel drive and all the special addition scoobys hold there money ok ie RB5..P1..STI type r most people stick them all in the same catergory when they are much better then the wrx or 2000turbo which are the base models.Asking on a ford site will get a load of focus lovers read a few road tests evo mag slated the rs and gave the scooby 5 stars personally i love both and to be honest after having a scooby you do get jarred off with all the other ones that you see but the wr1 is the daddy

Redkop

How come there are so many for sale and losing Ł7-10k already in little over a year????? 14 for sale alone on Autotrader online....
