I'm having a test drive via Cullverwells. I have asked is it as bad as the hatch for quality" they said not a clue but what can you expect for the money. Tippicle Culverwells really. I put my bug & Hawk way, way, way in front of the hatch. In fact it was the worst car quality wise I've ever owned. At the same time one of the best cars I've owned for pure fun on track. As some of you know for a 34k car it had 3 engines. As the paperwork states Subaru are not at fault!!!!! Uh ********! Pistons & head gaskets are pure ****e. Massive arguments with Subaru over engine by previous owner. Took months to sort out. Owner never got an apology or a curtesy car. Even though it was under a Subaru warranty. Take a look on any of the major Scoob forums there really are that bad. Forge it then your ok. It's really a Subaru kit car. You buy it then build it yourself. At my last Ring trip there was a very excited Italian guy who's hatch/salloon had blown up on it 2nd lap. It had done approx 9k mileage wise. I really hope the new car has had some engine mods to help it sell + the interior must of improved as they couldn't get any worse. I have a BMW now so some of you may think I'm just slagging Scoobs off. I have letters written by the 1st lady owner of the hatch I had pleading with Subaru uk. Considering the car was only 7 months old had its inspection & service done by the dealer who she had bought the car off. She was asking for a courtesy car & (Subaru were refusing this by the way) she needed a car for her work. The engine had gone due to piston ring failure at 8k miles. She paid for the work to be done herself nearly£4k she did however get this back 3 months later. She was so disgusted with the hatch she sold it back to Subaru for £13250 remember this car cost her £28k. Dave then bought it & it went bang again ( head gaskets) it was then ok for a while then Ringland failure. That's when I bought it. I bought it without seeing it & had forged internals put to it. Just to try & make it safe. Without a dought the worst car I've ever bought. Cheep interior crap on the road mainly due to the steering. Putting 888's on it running 28psi gave it some sort of feel. Will try the new one & see what Cullverwells say about the warranty. Is it just an Evo x lookalike though? JRM were my Evo was built. James has bought quite a few of these. Not sure what engine are in them as yet. I will find out though. If he's done the same deal as he did with the Evo X then the Scoobs will be twinscroll 2litre.
