Blobeye STI or Blobeye WRX with exhaust and ecu upgrade (or ppp).

Although the clonky suspension on my STI is pi55ing me off so much that i'd prefer the WRX at the mo!

WRX and get the PPP. There wont be much in the performance at all. The ride, though will be smoother in the WRX.

I think they are over-rated. JDM Blobeye STi doesnt have as much appeal as a 22b or a p1, but they are better imo.

How about a classic STi, Version 5 or Version 6?

Extremely well sorted motors.

Having driven/owned two of the three, i would say the Blob STi every day.

But to be sure, i would go test drive them. You're opinion may well be different.

But on 0% finance, presuming you can afford the repayments, is a good deal for getting a newer, better (ducks!) car.

Well it's not that they are over-rated.

It's because they have less doors.

Had the same dilemma a few months ago

I very nearly bought a WRX PPP, but it sold, waited another few months and now I can afford an STI

Still looking at the moment

Deffo an STI for me

i went through the same process - but bought a classic and spent a bomb modding it.

get the STI with a PPP which is a better car all round and 300bhp+ out of the crate
