Scoobys are very capable cars. So I wouldnt say they are over-ratted IMO

I know the Boxster is a "poor man's Porsche", but it's a significantly better car than the above.

MX5 is one very under rated sports car which is more capable than you could possibly imagine.

I'm not saying they're crap. This thread is more about perceptions.

Seem to be a lot of people buying them who feel they are instantly rally driving gods... so, in that respect, they are overrated as they can't make someone more talented.

I'm not, both were tremendously hyped up when they were released, both had a claimed top speed around 150 that neither could reach The E-Type they gave to journalists was even a tuned up one that could perform to these figures so it would disguise the truth

loafofbret being excempt from that

They're undeniably ace cars. Put them down all you like.

I never claimed to be an ace driver, but the fact is, shit driver or not, with the scoob I could out perform most of you

Muppetsport is exempt from that (In a straight line)

Ash do you want a slap sunshine??!

Impreza's for all the shite that surrounds them and 'some' of the dickheads that own them are one of the best cars ever produced.Granted not perfect but you can get a shitty WRX for 2k and there isn't another car that can touch them for that money.

I'd say a lot of cars are overated.Most stems from the old hot hatch days when they were the best but times have moved on.

Agree with Nick....Toyota celica's are a disgrace.
