        Is that like a "Buy a piece of Italian exotica for 10K" Maserati Bora, or one with a starter motor that works?

            I've been looking for something a little different recently and that was on my list.
            Yep, and 0-100 in 15, tops out about 135. That's three up with a fridge freezer in the boot. And mine's the auto with tiptronic...

            Plus cruise, satnav, full leather, climate control, 6-stacker 7 speaker stereo and assorted other goodies. And its also rated the best car to get run over by, apparently...

            Trick is, nobody knows what it is and make sure you sit inside, 'cos it will never win a beauty competition.

              PS. That's some 4x4. It is quicker to 100 than:

              2003 BMW 330 Ci Coupe
              2001 Audi S4 Quattro

                  I couldn’t agree more! The older STI import versions were slightly easier on the eye.

                  Subaru would sell more of all their models if they bothered to get a designer in that knew what he was doing, I’m sure the entire range is getting uglier year on year.

                      You'd better believe it. Mal owns one of motoring's best kept secrets. Like the original Imprezas when they were rarely seen off rally stages.

                      All Scoobies (except the dreadful Justy) are very underrated IMO. The boxer engine note when they're on song is magnificent.

                      I had 2 old school Impreza's, then a 330 Ci Sport Coupe ( - ultimate driving machine, my ), then sat in a 53 WRX. The driving position, the air scoop - I'd really missed it - so I bought one. Sold it when I moved house, and I'd have another one in a shot except I'm saving for more pressing matters at the mo'.
