Your right the bug was ugly but reliable. They got better with the blob & the best looking has to be the Hawk. Good value bhp for your hard earned £. Subaru then made the hatch ugly & unreliable not a good combination for there hard core Subaru fans. Good value Bhp for your £ NOT . So what happened As a Subaru enthusiast the Brz is a big let down. I've driven it & thought what a waste of a good looking car & better than the looks is its chassis IT HANDLES
It needs power! Nobody buys a Scoob to be overtaken by a Mini or a Fiat 500. The guy who gave it that sort of handling must have pulled his hair out in frustration after he drove it. The hours he must have put into this car looking at the pictures as he trys to make it handle all the power Subaru must be giving it looking the way it dose. . This again is just my opinion 200bhp with that body weight is ridiculous. Subaru should of hit the market running with a competitive 300bhp turbo charged car. One step up on the Toyota version.
This isn't 4x4 or a pick up so the farmers are not interested. It's not a performance car so people like me are not interested eighther. As said just my opinion as a Scoob owner & enthusiast for 20years.
