Obviously every car has its own issues.
I am looking at a scoob for £10k ish. needs to be 5 door low(ish) miles really needs to be an STI to be honest as i need the power.
Wanted a UK spec as the insurance is half the price.

In a real world i would just go and buy a nice JDM STI bug as they are the most beautiful cars ever but my head is saying get something newer...... And i do want a newer car.
I looked at the Focus ST but i just keep finding myself walking away and coming back to subaru. i like the FSTI but again cant deal with import insurance costs and it really is that much of a difference. £700 for a uk STI and over £2k for an import everywhere i have looked.

So back to the question, is the 2.5 hawk sti really that bad...... or shall i just try and find a nice 2.0L STI PPP blob?

Thanks
