Supra Snobs?

Just done a deal to trade in my Supe for an Impreza STI. Supes are great cars and I've enjoyed every minute of my brief ownership. Just can't get away with having only 2 seats and not enough boot space. I'm getting the Impreza next Thursday, it's got loads of great mods and goes really well, cornering at speed here I come. It's been great conversing with you guys and you seem a great bunch. Goodbye and thanks, I'll always respect the Supra, it's a truly great car with looks and performance . Live long and prosper.

At least I've said goodbye even if none of you are going to reply, do you not speak to Impreza owners. (Am I experiencing possible Supra snobbery already) Goodbye and thanks anyway.

yes you are...........downgrading from a from a twin to a single

from a 45K car to a 30K car.......

how mediocre.

goodbye all the best

ps in your sig it says u N/A auto

have you ever been in a bpu supra???? you must have know when you got a supra its not a practical car, if you want practical buy a cheap runabout like a lot of people do.

I had an N/A , not a turbo, so I've gained a turbo, not lost one. The car I am getting has had about 6k spent on mods & upgrades and is in mint condition. Needed the extra space & 2 more seats, so a TT Supra was not possible. No need for the snobbery though, both are great cars in their own right and the Imp is excellent at taking the corners , also much quicker with more grip than my N/A Supra.

Imprezzas are good cars though, especially if you need the extra seats.

Thought I could live with the 2 seats, made a mistake. I have 2 teenagers and my wife does not drive, she has nagged me as she does not think the Supe is suitable as an every-day car for us. I still love Supe's though and will probably get a TT when the kids have flown the nest.

Shame you had a NA - now were talking inferior

Sry Gav, I take it all back...for you it will be an upgrade but not to the best (supra TT)

How's that for snobbery

Supes are great with loads of grip but I still think they are a bit tail happy in the wet. Supe is the more desirable car though and much better looking than the Impreaza.

make sure you get the oil pump changed as soon as you get the impreza - as they seem to fail on all scoobies and result in dead engines

if its an import sti, you're also going to need to have the ecu remapped to run on 98 ron fuel, as they're set up for 100ron and in standard form do not like anything below 100ron

sounds like you have to convince yourself you made the right move not anyone else. they do look fun cars. one of my cossie nut mates has just bought a scooby sti this week. i bet lots of people would have a scooby as a 2nd car too.

was just asking if you ever been in a tt supra they pretty nippy and can go round conrners sometimes

This imported Impreza has been over here for 5 years and has been sorted for fuel etc. Has uprated ECU already along with loads of extras and is putting down well over 300BHP.

Cya Gav

Supra snobbery already! Don't think most people get up till 12:00 on a sunday hence no replys.

Have fun and drive carefully

OK sorry guys . I'll take back the snobbery crack I made. It was just that I had over 50 views of my original "goodbye" thread with no replies. Maybe I do need a cuddle. God am I doing the right thing. Damn wives.

Enjoy the Sti

from a 45K car to a 30K car.......

Not quite, for him it would be an upgrade

How many mis-spellings of the word "Impreza" in this thread

Its a good choice for speed and practicality - loved mine Been around the scooby scene for years though and its the first I've ever heard of common oil pump faults..........

Our 2 boys (both 6'2") have now 'flown' the nest. We have a TT, but it was never our only car (fortunately!) - that would have been a nightmare! Any journey with all 4 of us over 1 hour resulted in the whole family getting out grinning, but pretty sore & bent over!!!

Good luck with the change Gav & have fun in the scoob!

Here's the cuddle

Jenny & Christian.

Hope you find what you're looking for in the Scoob. Personally I'd have gone for driving lessons and a cheap runabout for the wife

Mind you, you were brave buying a Supra as your only car, with 2 teenagers and a wife, in the first place.

Good luck Gav, were not snobs on here, honest, most of us can appreciate any decent car.

As my wife is 45 years old and never driven a car, I think it might take a while for her to pass her test. I'll slum it in the Impreza till then as I can't afford to run two cars just yet. Thanks to all. As Arnie said "I'll be back", but next time in a TT.

I dont think anyone is being a Supra snob, you arnt exactly going from a ferrari to a fiesta. Anyway enjoy your new car it sounds nice and 4wd will be lovely in the wet. Get some pictures up and stay on the site.

Somethings in life are just worth it

I'll still keep looking on here as it is a very informative forum and has great entertainment value. Verbal jousting on here is second to none at times. Good Luck Guys.

goobye and good luck with the scooby :-)

Somethings in life are just worth it

Very true!!

I'm sure Gav & family will have fun in the scooby too.

Am I going mad, didn't Ijust read this exact same thread a minute ago?

i just came from a uk MY01 impreza,, i started to hate them becasue they are so popular and every chav over 22 can afford one now also giving the car a bad name

they are alot of fun tho and sound fantastic
