Trying to choose between the two, like the performance of the EVO and always wanted one but the the Impreza is still good performance and more practical. Obvious Service cost for EVO, slightly higher insurance but the car costs less and as such the overall costs work out to be almost cost neutral from my personal circumstance.

Tough choice any views, to assist my decision ?

What a shame...in which case it would have to be the new 330S (UK car) which will be a bit closer to the FQ-360, or wait a bit longer and Litchfield will bring out a 380.

The EVO is still the better track car but if you're only going to be seeing UK roads in the main then baring in mind the awful state of most UK roads i'd still plump for the Scoob although i think the EVO looks better.

Nice, thanks

Roads were something I didn't think about :-(

Cheers

You will when your teeth fall out driving to Asda!

According to Evo the Spec C (with 2-litre engine) is about £24-25k in Japan - could you not speak to someone like Iain Litchfield and ask about importing one? He may even have one already!

Best,

RB320 for around £20k. The spring pack makes it surprisingly more comfortable than the Sti. The interior is a nice place to be if it has leather and a sound/satnav upgrade.
