If you want one then buy one and enjoy it , you know there have been issues with the 2.5 engine along with cars that have been trouble free so far. So IMO you pays your money and takes your chance. I like the hatch too and if I had the money I'd have one tomorrow but if it was me I'd save some more pennies and go for one that's been forged for 100% piece of mind.

Another option.

Get one with a forged engine from a reputable specialist. Provided you don't run high boost through a 2.5 block with forged internals things should be fine.
As with any of these cars, it does not matter what engine it has if the car has been abused or neglected.
I feel you may have to up your budget a little for the right car though. Forged hatches are rather desirable things!

I'd love a JDM hatch, the boot opening is a real positive to me. I've been living with my STI V6 saloon and it does annoy me compared to my wagon.
I wouldn't mind buying a hatch in the near future but jdm cars are practically non existent over here, even the one or two I've seen were £20k! I think the answer is to buy a UK one with a decent engine or one with a buggered engine and fit a 2.0L.
