I am another fan of the Policar Subarus 

A while back I asked our forum members for a bit of help and guidance re either these, or the Ninco 1 series cars.  
The Ninco models didn't get the best of feedback,  whilst the Policar Subarus seemed good. So I purchased one, and loved it.
Proper Slot it components,  decent wheels and tyres,  which work great on my repainted Scalextric Sport track,  and do a pretty good job on the Routed Raceway wood track, and they look fun.  The design system for removing the magnets is excellent, so easy.  As has already been mentioned,  super quick cars isn't the only way to enjoy this hobby. 

I have 5 now, for club racing.  They replaced the old BTCC Super Tourers we were racing, which weren't much liked, these are much more popular!    Slightly garish colours are good, they are colour coded to each lane, which makes things easy. 

One of my favourite things about the Subarus is that they are so evenly matched.   Ideal for using on 4 lane tracks, or for heats and step up Finals. Last week we raced them with No marshaling,  at 10.5 volts,  and had a lot if fun, with some of our less experienced drivers doing really well. 

The only issue I have had so far happened last week. It appears we have a motor which may have packed up.  Need to do a bit more checking,  but can't see any other reason for a complete failure to proceed.

Good fun, very cheap, and well matched for racing.   

One thing I would say is that they aren't the easiest of models to strip right down for a repaint.  All the lights and lenses are separate items,  so not the simplest job.  We needed a blue version,  which were sold out everywhere,  so I did a repaint.  What did I see at Gaydon 6 weeks later,  you guessed it........
