Blobeye sti widetrack or sti 330s hatch?
I'm looking at buying a Impreza in the next few months and it's out of an blob eye sti widetrack or hatchback 330s.
ive got around 13k to spend and will be using it as my daily.
whats better to live with and which one will hold its value better over the coming years?

Blobeye widetrack STi will no doubt hold its value the best. 2.0L lump is all you need to help you decide... and I'm biased

the 330s comes with quite a few extras over the normal hatch sti , like keyless entry and start , sat nav , much better seats , cruise control , plus loads of other bits , iv had loads of blobs and my hatch is a much better all rounder and better to drive every day , and your budget should see you into a already forged one
how many of you have owned both and still prefer the blob over the hatch ?

but a forged 2.5 is a wonderful thing and there is no replacement for displacement lol
iv also had more 2ltrs fail on me than the 2.5s iv owned so I don't let it put me off

I genuinely wish I'd never sold my hatch.i still have a few pictures and it was a great car.the blob widetrack on the over hand was good but for me not even close to the hatch.

I'm shocked to hear people come out and say how much they liked the hatch.
I really want the hatch but worry about paying out loads to fix it

I've been reading threads on this forum and found one saying it will cost about £1500 to upgrade the hatch to forged pistons and put a cosworth head gasket on, so I'm guessing if you pay out then the hatch shouldn't have the usual problems?

Once the pistons and gaskets are sorted the torque from the engine is awesome ,, if you can stretch then get one already forged as they pop up every now and again
I'm running 531bhp from my forged 2.5 so they can be made a lot stronger than a Standard engine it comes with
