The spec c version is out soon and with what I had read the chassis has some big improvements.
The last of the old model in spec c version will take some beating and not a bad place to start looking

It appears the jury is still out on the new impreza, if it was me then it would be jdm without a doubt.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the new STI. Performance wise it isn't that much of a step forwards.
The suspension has been made far too compliant and the car has lost all sense of being a 'rally replica'.
Hopefully the Spec C will be a different issue, but then you're looking at a price of at least £30k +.
I thought long and hard about going for an MY08 car but in the end I knew that if I had I would've been taking a step backwards from the Spec C Type-RA I owned at the time. Decided to go for an RA-R instead and haven't looked back, and I don't think I will for some time either.
But if an MY08 STI is what you're after then I say it would definitely have to be a JDM model. UK cars are just not in the same league.
