February 9, 201510 yr Hi all. Need a drop of advice. Had my current subaru for about 5 months. Waited a fair while to find this scooby. V clean and well looked after example of a jdm v5 sti. With a recent api complete rebuild totalling near on 4k. Im now unsure whether to let her go and perhaps go toward a ford focus st. Wondered if anyone had any pros and cons for the st over my sti. Thanks guys. Steve
February 9, 201510 yr I've had a mk1.5 ST170 nice car liked it but I had to choose a car to sell as you can guess the st170 was sold. unless you can't get on with the scoob or the maintenance is maybe a bit to offten for your liking I don't think it would be a good choice not easy car's to replace the scoob. Especially if yours is in as good a condition as what you have said.
February 9, 201510 yr Author Im pretty handy with the maintenance. Had virtually no issues with my scoob. New set of plug leads is all ive done on it. Touch wood. lol. Im tempted with the st 225. Seems like most ive toyed with have high mileage or a cat c or d. Ive had a uk classic and a bugeye previously and once i got enough cash together i bought another scoob. Think ive answered my own question. lol.
February 9, 201510 yr we have another thread on here where the chap has gone back to his Focus ST - a short debate has followed - they both have their merits but I think it would be unfair to compare a more modern st with an older scooby other than 4wd vs 2wd
February 9, 201510 yr Author Ive grown up with fords. From mk1 xr2, rs turbos, escort cabs, sierra 4x4, xr3is. So many poor escorts ended up in my garden. lol. Do enjoy my scooby. It always puts a smile on my face. Its one of those prediciments. Will i ever be satisfied unless i try. Hindsight is a gift. lol.

Haha I think you did :) The ST225 I've not driven but never really liked the look of them other than the RSFocus don't think the other new cars look that great to be honest either :( other than the new fiesta ST maybe a little guilty pleasure car that for me :D
February 9, 201510 yr All ive ever owned was Fords.I came to Subaru and I can say this I wont go back to a Ford.Jap cars have better build quality
February 9, 201510 yr I only like the ST fiesta because it looks like it wants to be treated like a dirty little !Removed! that wants spanking and it's !Removed! being thrown around corners as the tyres scream in pleasure... Did I take that a bit too far ;)

February 10, 201510 yr The only point I give a ****.about no one mentioned the st wieghs 1800kg same as a new age scoob a.classic wieghs 1240kg more power 4wd, no brainer
February 12, 201510 yr Ford = Fraud - not really "super" cars other than those built in the USA. Ford's always use more fuel than they say.

February 12, 201510 yr Newage scoobs weight between 1350 spec c s 202 etc to hawk sti at 1490 kg 1880 kg is gross weight fully loaded before it's declared illegal
