JDM over a UK any day, just a far better car tbh, twin scroll picks up from as low as 1500rpm (you are talking 1k more on a 2.5 or nearly 2k more on a 2ltr, standard of course 
) but becareful of which JDM hawk you go for, the one for 10k in scotland is meant to be a bit of a dog, had lots of paintwork etc.

1 your budget (for the car)
2 your age (for insurance)
3 your budget (petrol)
The reason being that a UK car is cheaper on insurance and petrol because I'm sure a JDM (twinscroll) is a more thirsty version. (I'll stand to be corrected on that though)

I would say it depends on
1 your budget (for the car)
2 your age (for insurance)
3 your budget (petrol)

Jdm was no more to insure for me. About the above car for sale what difference does it make if its had an accident loads of cars have, as long as its repaired to a good standard and priced correct I wouldn't worry about it. If repaired cars are no good then we wouldn't have repair shops. Different if its been wrote off in the past but normal properly repaired damage shouldn't make it a bad car.

But is a JDM better only because it is faster out of the box? or do they have better parts standard? better brakes or interior for example?
Would a JDM still be a lot better than say a nicely tuned 350bhp UK STI?

You are absolutely right cars are repairable and that is why we have repair workshops. However like most people I wouldnt want to buy a car which had been in an accident, even so much if you knew about it.......its never the same car.
each to there own.

In gear times are quicker due to the higher torque and better spool of the turbo's.
Lag is near none existent on these compared to a single scroll turbo'd car, and put a 350 v 350bhp UK v JDM, the JDM will dominate more even though the 0-100 times may be similar, its mid range and lack of lag that makes you smile in a JDM over a UK
