As im looking at getting a 2nd car now.. (cos i cant bloody fit in the Astra VXR)..
Both are around the same price, £10-12k
Which would be better.. more reliable.
Love the scoob for the boxer engine sound but love the EVO cos its rarer and probably more "hardcore"
I dont know enough about either to make an educated decision

plus i hate the fact all scoobys sound the same

If its a 2nd car you wont have to worry about mileage so much so an Evo becomes a bit more affordable to run.
Evo seems more special, whether it is or not I dont know! Plus the blob eye scoobs look awful, go for a classic if anything. What about a classic 2 door Type-R...

dont bother with a P1.... TypeR's are the same, but better, and cheaper.
I'd go for the TME. Blob eye Impreza's arent nice. Go for a later Impreza

The white (with the stickers) look the best.
I've never seen a blue one in the flesh though. Saying that, it'd probably be quite hard to notice as not all of them came with the stickers did they?

Blob eye STI with PPP for me! If you can get one in white they look mega!
TME's are getting a bit old now, most that Ive seen just lately are looking a bit tatty!
Your almost in Hawk Eye territory actually! Think they look good and pretty rare too!

Have always loved the 6's but they are getting on a bit. The 8's are bit "fat" and dont look as rally bred.
Whats so special about the WR1 ?

Built to commemorate Solberg winning the Rally Championship. 320bhp, limited numbers (500 I think), special colour etc etc
