richglanzav Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 hey guys the mx5 is going into hibernation for the winter and im looking into some new cars. i barely cover 4000 miles a year right now as i work less than a mile from home so i walk. im totally stuck between a decent spec forged starlet or a stock classic sti scoob. main concern with the scoob is reliability, and common problems (i dont know them). anyone owned both? ive owned a forged td04 starlet and while it was a hoot at times we all know they are wank unless its dry and warm. hit me with the pros and cons guys.

daniel_g Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Defo the impreza, ive had 2 of them, not stis right enough but a version1 wrx with a td05 and a bugeye wrx, also had a big legacy wagon. Really good cars for the winter and more of an all rounder than a starlet. Quote
jimmymac101 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Decent spec forged starlet will set you back 5-6k and for a lowish mileage decent condition scoob your prob looking at 7-8k if not more ! Impreza tax is hiiiiiiiiiigh! Mines £275 year glanza is £120yearEither car will drink fuel all depends how you drive lol Both cars have readily available parts and prices vary but Subaru are little more expensive To be honest mate I would find hard ! The deciding vote for me would be "do I want another starlet or a new experience " James Quote
richglanzav Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 im hopefully going to look at jimmy on heres 300bhp glanza, but ive seen a few very nice scoobs. i dont wanna rag or launch the fuck out of it, it would be treated like a lady lol. but yeah im thinking a nice 300hp sti. are they hard to sell on though.

Gainzy Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 You just need a white glanza the same as your pic ;) Quote

MARC MOSS Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Dc2 all the way, kicks the shit out of most things when driven properly and serious fun and reliability Quote
daniel_g Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Dc2 all the way, kicks the shit out of most things when driven properly and serious fun and reliabilityAs long as its a JDM, the UK ones look fuckin fugly! Quote
Gainzy Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Gt4 old school evo 4 or supra TT need boost man Quote
richglanzav Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 lol i gotta admit a dc2 is tempting, and defo a JDM one i cant stand the front end of the UK one. evo 4 tends to get crank walk dont they? gt4 costs a bomb when the fig 8's need doing, and supra, well a supra....id be scared to park it on the drive ;) Quote
richglanzav Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) at the moment im thinking classic scoob or a dc2 if not a starlet. Edited September 26, 2015 by richglanzav Quote
