Re: im i mad?????
I have only ever had foresters! 98 jap S/turbo, 01 jap sti II and 06 Jap 2.5 sti (Jap foresters are much better than Irish/Uk)
All great family cars,
Scoobies are simply the best handling car in real life road conditions, and AWD and engine/transmition layout lend themselves to a perfect handling balance,
And enough power to overtake quickly and safely and get your family out of difficult situations!
Just service her regularly with good oil, Only run her on E5 and a bit of NF booster or better still get her mapped for irish fuel! and that's It
100% reliabilty and practicality and a car that you car have the craic in when you are by yourself!
And if you safe a few quid up from time to time, there are infinate modding possibilities to keep you busy!
Lots of bargans to be had at the moment!
I would highly recommend keeping an eye out in our for sale section. I think you already understand how important it is to know how to look after a scooby!
So if you buy from a member, then there is a much better chance the car has been looked after properly!
Best of luck man!
