scoob fae ork Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Just had a wee 1500 mile round trip to southamton and back to collect my dads new car i drove it the whole way and im very impressed with it its very nice to drive and holy shmit it goes. I love the I drive too i find a big difference from the 3 settings here a few picks for ya. I think he is going for the 18" wheels too. Edited January 20, 2009 by Scoob Fae Ork
StewartyBoy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 These are growing soooo much on me. Unsure which model it was, but at the Mcrae Gathering last year they had a Grey coloured car on the stand with quite large anthracite wheels on it. Would I be right in saying it was a 330!? Anyway, as soon as I saw it standing like that my opinion of it changed completely. Great car your Dad's got there!
oobster Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Orkney to Southampton? Mind if I ask why you didnt get it from a Scottish dealer and save yourself such a large trip? Superb car though, i'd love to get a similar one
emoe Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I have to agree, theres so many people on here that have said they are a fantastic car, BUT i just cant get past the fact they have not really styled the car better. I certainly wouldnt turn one down!!

Mind if I ask why you didnt get it from a Scottish dealer and save yourself such a large trip?Superb car though, i'd love to get a similar one The reason for going so far was the price. The car my dad bought was from a prestige dealership and wanted to pass on the car fast so they sold it very cheap Subaru phoned and could not come close to that price my dad got, plus you cant beat a road trip in a Scoob . just wish i saw the thing first
sti pretender Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Had a shot of Billyboys and really nice to drive, like the back but the front end puts me off.
Maxxed_Ross Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 that is a crazy trip for a car! I'm not a fan of the new shape. The inside looks nice and the front view looks very mean... but the sides and back let it down IMO
scoobyseller555 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Hope it was less than the £15000 it sold on ebay for recently. Gav
Spaceman Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 yea Gav i member seein it too looks great i really like the new shape esp in white and the charcol one
colzo Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 .....like the back but the front end puts me off. The front look fine its the rear lights and Dumbo mirrors that put me off! Silver and Dark Grey are the best colours IMO.
Guest CRAIG D Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) I didnt like them at first but id had only seen it from pics. Then i seen a white STI in broxburn and there a bucket load nicer in the flesh. Id even go as far to said id buy1 Edited January 20, 2009 by CRAIG D
scoob fae ork Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 As far as looks goes even my Dad turned to me when we arrived at the boat and said the looks will take a bit of getting used to but he loves the drive and every thing else that make's it a Scooby. The best way i can think to describe the new STI is that it is an Impreza STI in every way but for everyday use its just grown up a bit IMO.

Used to stay in Orkney for a few years, great roads ( i was biking at the time).
scoob fae ork Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Used to stay in Orkney for a few years, great roads ( i was biking at the time). Very good roads for Scooby driving but not very good if you like to keep your car in good condition down to the millions of loose stones that our super dooper council leaves for us
scoob fae ork Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Used to stay in Orkney for a few years, great roads ( i was biking at the time). Where abouts did you stay in Orkney ?
nesevo Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Where abouts did you stay in Orkney ? Just outside Finstown, heading out to Evie
scoob fae ork Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Just outside Finstown, heading out to Evie Holy small world Evie is where i live.

l137sws Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I have a Blue '08 STI with 18" wheels. Can't recommend it enough. When cruising on motorway in busy traffic, I use SI drive and get better fuel consumption than the WRX I had previously. On an open road, change to Sport # and it is ballistic. Best of both worlds. People who don't know Subaru quite like styling. Looks like the various discussion boards are the only people with a downer on the shape. Love it myself. A wolf in sheeps clothing. No boot spoiler or gold wheels to attact attention.

Also got a few choice extras aswell,bonus. Gav

Gav He could not be happy'r with the car to start with it seemed to be to good to be true but when he looked in to it he found it was genuine but we still cant really belive how good the deal was. as for driving the car it had me sold in the first 20 miles i think im gonna have to save like mad now and get my own
