My Blob STI PPP - was Andy Forest mapped was around 360bhp. Was all the power you'd need to be honest. I'd no problems in my ownership.Totally different cars to GTIs - great handling, faster out the box - from a standstill especially.Drawbacks - fuel economy, dearer insurance, poor quality interior, the slightly chavvy image that comes with them.I've always ended back in GTIs when I've tried other cars. The best of all worlds in my opinion.
It's the kid in us that has us buying GTIs and Subarus and spending thousands making them go faster and look better. Can't honestly say any of it is rational or sensible, but it's lots and lots of fun!!Saw my old man the other day, showing him the latest upgrades and that, and he said "aren't you a bit old to be a boy racer?!"Obviously I put him straight and told him I wasn't a boy racer, but an 'enthusiast'...I am 35 though. So maybe he's got a point. But sod his point!

Not sure how getting a Scoob will save you money tho'! May just be an itch that needs scratched - I know it was for me! Was great fun. Sound and pace are awesome!
