What Gordon said.

P1 feels raw, light and fast. Newer cars feel like a nicer place to be with stronger parts.

Three months ago i was in a similar position and after owning a classic was very tempted by the p1. in the end i went for an 03sti ppp mostly down to value for money/reliability/and personaly they look more up to date.
Havent looked back since. Running costs i dont think there would be much in it, the same with the performance also. Good luck with what ever you buy, think u will enjoy either.

P1.
I did it and its fantastic.
A special rare car.
Only draw back is the 2 doors.
Handles well,sounds fab,and looks great and very very quick.

Personally i would definately go for the P1...a lot more driver involvement and quicker off the mark

Im not sure why P1's are more prone to bottom end failure tho?

p1 then in a few years go to an 05 sti, i went from a my00 to an 05 sti ppp, as i didn like the 01-04 stis handling, and while i love it i do regret not having had a p1, definitely one of the best cars ive ever driven

Only go P1 route if you know your way around an engine or have a budget for maintenance. It's an old car now.
