I have got both of these cars running these figures, the first is my 89 325i touring and the other is my V7 STI WAGON (IMPREZA) the scoobyhas the BM, beaten in every corner of the ring 0-60 IS 4.0 dead 172 mph and awsome handling. But you know what my 325i puts the bigger smile on my face, arse out, 6 pot roar, and the go-kartish handling, I LOVE IT...

a mate of mine who owns a 22b has said to me on more than one accasion that he finds his old 2.0 nova far more fun than the scooby. He thinks the 22b is just too good for public roads, and you have to be going so fast to find its limits.

It's true you really have to be going at ridiculous speeds to find the limit. Which in all practicallity, on these roads you just can't do it.

Agreed, my WRX Impreza is for sale because it's so efficient it's boring to drive, unless you're mega committed.

RWD, Real Wheel Drive.

see, I love my M20 to death, and the sound is just amazing

however, i'm a 'flat four' boy at heart-grew up with bugs and buses, and love the sound of a scooby under full load!

I do however take the point that scoobies are too efficient (IMHO too many cars made today coset the driver with active and passive safety-making them boring to drive)

TBH I'd take either!or both
