10 month old 2.0 WRX ?
I thought the 2.5 had been out a lot longer than that.

The PPP will have a bit more power.

Price ?

Hawkeye V Blobeye?
Hard choice
I'd go Blobeye with PPP.

I always go for the "newer" model that I can afford.
therefore
Hawkeye 2.5 for me!

PPP or TSL it @ a later date

2.5 hawkeye for me!. Had both and would never go back. Put PPP on the new 2.5 and its well sorted, by far the better car in my opinion.

Hawkeye, if it was my cash I'd want the newest shape I could have, I could have had a 55 plate STI for the same as a brand new Hawkeye WRX, brand new one it was for me, easy.

If you look here:
The cost of vehicle tax for cars, motorcycles, light goods vehicles and trade licences : Directgov - Motoring

2.5 WRX = 244 co2 - Registered after Mar 2006 = £300 now. That might go up to £400 next year?

The 2.0 WRX PPP = 215 co2 - will be £205.
