Default Which would you keep?

I am the proud owner of two STIs and have reached a decision about which one to keep / sell. Out of interest, I wanted to see what other ppl would do if they were in my position...keep the blue version 7 JDM STI or the black version 9 STI Type UK?!!!

Both in view my scooby!!

I they were my cars i would have trouble choosing,for a bug eye that looks awesome & im guessing you'll be pretty attached to it if you have had it a while.

I honestly cant decide between the two

Hope you make the right choice

I personally like the quirkiness of the Bug, and thats what I have voted for. Surely you get more extras with the JDM too???

Petty as it sounds but i don't like the fact you haven't got leccy mirrors in the uk...and they put the indicators on the wrong side!

..anyhow Laura, didn't you buy the hawk to replace the bug?

The fact you haven't yet suggests to me that you still love the bug too much

the fact that I keep the bug as my "view my scooby" and haven't replaced it with the hawkeye i guess speaks volumes. She's (IMO) much prettier and quicker.

Yes...I followed my husband..me in the hawkeye and struggled to keep up! In fact didn't really. and thats with the ppp. Off the mark they feel fairly similar but the fly by "dire" accelarator means you feel like ur gonna stall all the time! interior is much nicer and the lights / dash is nice.

If I wasn't a poor teacher, I'd keep both...
