The issue of the hatches loosing a cylinder is related to the engine on the 2.5.
Our local dealer has swapped quite a few hawkeye lumps alongside Hatches.
Although the RB320 should have a better map on the ECU. Custom map would help either tbh.
I would keep the hatch mate, RB320,s are not that special, i wouldnt rush out to buy one anyway.
Many that slag the hatch dont like the looks, not too many have driven them, hatch is a better car!

Al see what he comes back with tomorrow offer wise, before I make the decision.
Nothing against the hatch just thought the RB would be a little bit special.
If I keep the hatch I have plans for it anyhoo, with the possibility of buying a classic for a project.
We will see what happens!!
Cheers

It depends on what you're doing with it, if you intend to keep either your hatch or the rb for many years and want as much money back as possible then get the rb. Or, if you see yourself driving an m3/evo/insert here in a years time just keep he hatch and save the bother.

very true, had the hatch since April and have had no problems with i yet and I have racked up 7k since then. Engine issue plays on the mind especially as the warranty is out soon.
