How would you rate your Scooby over the last year?

Well, we're fast approaching the end of 2006 and I was wondering how you would rate your Scooby over the last year. Been good, bad or indifferent? Subaru have had a good reputation over the years for reliability, would you agree? I know there's been a few blown engines for some of you and I'm sure we've all had a few technical headaches... but would you consider trading in for a comfortable family saloon or a :shoot: SUV????

Considering the age of my own ('95) I've been more than pleased with the year's motoring - I've only had a couple of weeks without it because of wear and tear issues - had to replace header tank (cracked), radiator (cracked), clutch (slipping) and 2 tyres and 3 services. Not bad at all... and the fun has been immeasurable (thanks in part to the ISDC for organising some great events :D ).

Next year I must get timing belt done and I think the coilovers have to go... they're just not made for these roads :eek:mg: I also want to slowly start uprating and customising my Scoob which I hope will be fun too. I don't think I'll be buying a newer one for a good while yet, so I'm going to make the most of what I've got.

Year rating 8/10

How has your Scooby year been?

April : Got the Apexi FC done by Andy.............. and thats when i started enjoy her...... :subaru:
May: Got her lowered 40mm on Tein Springs :dance:
August : Got gauges for Boost, volt, water temp, oil temp and oil pressure
October: Serviced , new tyres and NCT'd
November : UP FOR SALE :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:


But over all i have to say never had one problem with her but have very very empty pockets.

Over all 9/10
 
Can't really fault mine this year.Only thing it needed was an o2 sensor.

Then is was just the usual oil changes, set of tyres and front brake pads.

I did treat it to a 3 gauge centre pod and that's was about it.

Could'nt think of anything id rather drive 350 miles a week on mountain roads.

Defo 9/10

I drove mine for one month fault free after getting her in June. Then it was down-hill-(steep cliff-like hill!!) :angry: The fatal Knocking sound sent shivers down my spine. :eek:mg: :shock:
On the bright side I wouldn't have been doing my build if it had kept right. :dunno: But that would have saved me barrows full of cash!! :doh:
 
Overall, very happy.

Nothing major wrong. Silly probem like headlights not aligning and some very old power steering fluid that needed changing. Other than that just the usual oil changes.

9/10 :thumbsup: :subaru:
