Default Which one would you get?

Since selling my JDM STI to Bodski a few years back I've not had a Subaru and every time I see one I hanker after one again.

So much to my kids horror this forty something chap is going to get himself another Scooby.

The question is which one to get, at the moment I've seen these that take my fancy,

As you can see all JDM so I know all about the JDM benefits, but which JDM to get, or has anyone else got something a bit tasty they are thinking of selling soon?

The hawk jdm is a steal mate I wouldn't accept a penny less than £14k for mine but mines been in country since new with full service history which is rare and tastefully modified with only 2mature owners from new, The jdm hawkeye looks a superb pristine example that would reach the best part of 14k easy on the dealers forecourt

The STI hawk does look nice and is the same as what I had before, however zero service history apart from the recent works (which are all top notch) apart from some door stickers which could be an issue come resale.

S202 looks great but a few little niggles presentation wise and needs remapping for UK fuel/power.

If anyone has seen anything else they can recommend please post it up, I've got up to 15k budget. Though of course the more change I get the better.

Three very different cars despite being all JDM newage models.

S202: lightest of the bunch, has the cachet of an S model, but no twin-scroll or DCCD. Mileage higher on this example.

Hawk STi: would make for best daily driver, has more mod cons, 61 ltr tank means more sensible range, 150 kg heavier than S202.

Spec C WR: has desirable F41:59 diff, is as raw and focused as the S202 but with the more modern widetrack chassis and interior

Ultimately I think depends on your individual priorities and the specific condition/history of these examples, but they are three brilliant models and I doubt you'd be disappointed with any of them if they are good examples.

You would defo see the hawk in a DIFFRENT light if it was on a forecourt @ £13995 if I had the money I'd go and check it out or an s204/3 maybe??

The hawk would be my choice

Lack of SH paperwork wouldn't put me off it.

Yes checked for dets but not remapped, so add £500 for a decent remap session.

How were Hurst cars to deal with?
