As you can probably tell from my user name... that is where my heart lives ... After owing 3 Subarus (two Imprezas and a Forester)... I have defected and ordered a new Fabia VRS !! It was hard enough parting with my Impreza for a Forester when I had to start carrying a wheelchair around for a member of the family who was ill. After they died 6 months after buying the Forester, 90%+ of the time it was just myself in the car.

I am also involved in rallying and co drive in an Impreza...

Reason.... High fuel bills so I needed a diesel as run own business and do lots of local mileage. The final crunch came when I did

I think you'll like it, there are quite a few on here who have made the move to the smokey side from the flat four side.

It WILL be more economical.....

Welcome m8

I made the move from a blobeye wrx ppp to a fabia vRS, it was great. I only had it for a year though and moved onto a mk2 octy vRS. The furby was fantastic, but I just found that diesel was not "my thing" so to speak.

Mk2 octy is still shed loads cheaper to run than the scoob was :thumbup:

Welcome

I also left my Impreza for a diesel Fabia. As Jon says, it WILL be more economical Just don't try driving it like the Impreza!

Chris

Well the other half still has an Impreza so if I get withdrawl symptoms I can still "borrow" his....
