I *think* only 2011 models have the Spec C suspension, so they are not exactly the same cars.

yes u are right.

Only 2011 Hatch and Saloon have

Spec C
neW headunit and upgraded speakers
handsfree Bluetooth
Ipod/USB/Iphone connection
New Engine Mappings and tweaks for Eu standard ( tweaks unsure of ) prob to stop engine blowing up.
a Boot on some :)

I think Looks wise its still the same lights/grill etc.

Must stop looking at the new one ;)
