My Scooby was a 260 brake WRX Steve

I havn't even driven a CTR yet so time will tell but the insurance is half what my scooby was and the MPG will be a world apart.

And as for the Racer comment you just made yourself sound like a twat

I might still go for the Fabia but somthings holding me back..nice car though don't get me wrong.I suppose i am trying to replace the scooby with somthing that isn't to far away from it but scooby's aint the be all and end all of the car world.

Oh and Set the title was partly a joke as i already know most peoples views on them already..i just wanted them all in one post to hopfully get some feedback off people who have actually DRIVEN and OWNED one rather than just jumping on the bandwagon.

04 plate one is the one i'd go for but maybe i'd get a better warrenty from a Skoda dealer???

Ive never been a fan of the VRS

Do you really like the looks?? Do you really need a 5 door ??? Do you really do enough miles to justify a Diesel ???

Get something sporty with style not a semi quick family oil burner

I thought you were being serious

Anyway...what's the standard power of your motor??? 150? so you have upped it say 80 bhp and a heap of torque?? How long do you think it will be before somthing breaks?

Yeah im sure there well built & pretty nippy.....but id never go out & buy one on purpose

Are you still doing small mileage as before / walking to work?? I think S2000 would be a great car for you

240bhp RWD & looks cool as a cucumber

standard power is 180bhp, and if theres nothing wrong with the engine they can take 250bhp easily.

iv seen remapped leons go on for over 100k with no problems

Would cat D put you off, if its been fixed right....just means you buy it for less & sell it on for less when the time comes
