The local paper is full of cars for£300 with tax and mot till april or June next year so that's what I'm doing and using the s on the good days only

 

I might go and buy a cheap Impreza!

 

I priced up a beater, it was the £300 insurance bill for ANYTHING that put me off.

 

i've just had a look at scoobies - had no idea they could be had for £1300. Makes a pretty tempting proposition - pay insurance monthly and cancel it in the summer.

My concern, though - what if I enjoy it so much I decide I don't want an S?

 

I had a bit of wheelspin out of some tighter corners today.

Fortunately I had a V6 over them, which does wonders for traction.

The VSA's so subtle, I doubt it's actually there! It really lets one mess around without flashing warnings at you.

 

not entirely sure this is the one to go for...I've never read a description like it!

Ha ha fantastic that just sums up the youth of today

 

Not bloody likely.

I have driven boggo WRX's before, pushing it round corners was like trying to manhandle a shopping trolley around an ice rink.

Zero steering feedback, diabolical understeer when turning and oversteer when least expected.

And they dont rev enough.

That said, the further you get up the model ladder, the better they get.

Type - r's are epic, as are most of the new age-s.

 

Does anyone use winter tyres in the south?

 

Not sure I agree with your post, Tango
