‘I reckon they are becoming cool’
1982 Ford Cortina Crusader and 1999 Subaru Impreza Sport Jim Smith, with Julie and Olivia, Northumberland
This is the fourth Impreza I have had and it cost me £500. I’ve always loved 'em. They went a bit uncool, but I reckon they are becoming cool again. I had a Fiesta before this, but saw a Scooby and thought ‘I’ve got to have another one.’ It’s a fab car, and this is the Sport so it has a bit of economy. I would love a big Turbo, but most of them have been modified to a ridiculous extent. I also own the Cortina. I used some redundancy money and spent £600 on a whim with a local dealer who just wanted rid. I kept it and I’ve never looked back. It is so comfortable on long journeys with four nicely geared speeds. I also own a Micra, a Porsche and three Fiesta Mkis. They’re all good fun.
