Went out in jays scooby this evening and wow what a machine. I have driven a few of these in the past and i do think they are very good and capable car, but never enough to excite me until now. It goes to show put the money into the right place then a car that never has really done it for you soon can. Cheers for taken us out dude really enjoyed it. |

It does seem a natural progression for the Ford boys. Rally heritage I guess.

To be honnest sammi i have driven a large amount of scoobys and they drive really well, but never got me excited. But jays seems to be a weapon. Rob i have also noticed that to be fair. |

Well there's no doubting that with a few tweeks they can be cracking cars. I'm a little surprised though, I thought you'd stay RWD. |

I think for performance cars then RWD and AWD are the only way to go ,it does amaze the amount of power some car manufacturers are will to put through the front wheels nowadays. Sillysteve don't forget Jays' is a STI RA (possibly the best combo of letters in the impreza world) and a bit tweaked now compare them to UK or WRXs and even 'normal' STIs and it will impress
