braveheart Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Hi and Welcome the car looks sweet enough why did you not go for the turbo model if there was a reason !! Just curious ?? My mate has the SRI and it's a bit quicker than than the non turbo suby ??
colly Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 was offered this in a swap for the vec, the vectra was a 1.8 and just fancied something abit diffrent hopefully next year when i save up abit of money i will a newer turbo version!!!
Gumball Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Welcome to Scottish Scoobies. No need for a sad face next the fact you bought your first subaru mate. Nice car
mystery machine Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Welcome I had a run of Vauxhalls in my younger years - Astra, Cavalier, Calibra... my last was a Vectra 2.2 SRI 150, bought new, which was the best-driving of the lot. In general they were comfy & reliable motors, but in retrospect pretty dull to drive... largely on account of their lacklustre handling/steering (although the Vecta's nat-asp 2.2L engine was actually very nice - refined and responsive. Nice dash too). Anyway, why the sad face? OK, there can't be much between the old Vectra and the new Scooby in terms of straight line performance, but in just about every other respect the Scooby is bound to be a better-driving car, no? Might not have a turbo, but drive it properly down a twisty B road and it'll out-handle and out-grip many a more powerful car Looks nice too in the wee pic - looking forward to seeing more. Enjoy!

colly Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 cheers for the welcome folks the was for the fact i really want a turbo my mate has one and i love it, as for the impreza itself i love it. was offered it as a swap at 8.30 on friday night left campbeltown at 9.25 got to the service station at 12 ish and got bak home around 4am was rather random to say the least, not had the chance to give it a proper clean yet. the car has a carbon fiber bonnet on it which i like its something abit diffrent, also has sti"blue" seats really comfy,stereo/dvd player, the front tints will be coming off at the weekend before i get stopped for the local police "nothing better to do down hear" i will get some pics up next weekend after it has been cleaned up!!
