Default Which car?

Hi all,

I currently have a my53 wrx. But I'm now looking for another car.

My budget is 11k and I want to stick with the Impreza.

Do you think I should go for a 55 plate STI or go for the 2006 Hawkeye STI (with a bit of haggling).

Would love to know your thoughts.

Cheers

The heart says hawkeye, but the sensible part says blob, simply because the MY06 cars suffered from several nasty things, like head gasket and liner issues.
Of course you could always go JDM

Cheers Mr Burns,

Are JDM's imports? If so, I may struggle insurance wise as I'm 24. So I need a UK one to match my recent insurance quote.

I love the Blobs and would prob say that I think they look better than the Hawkeye. But maybe that's because I haven't yet seen a Hawk on the PPF-7's my current blob is on. (I think they make a big diiference).

This is actually a tough one to decide.

Thanks mate

I'd go for the hawk if you can get one in good condition and lowish mileage, if for that money you can only get a bit of a dog then stick with the blob.
