Default General thoughts on a Hatch over a Hawk

Just looking for a general consensus on going from a Hawkeye to a Hatch.

On my second UK Hawk just now, runs perfect. Only 58k on it and really can't complain at all. Been mapped to 340bhp and have no issues with it.

However lately I've been toying with the idea of selling up and seem to be drawn to a Hatch, been looking at 330s'.

One has now came up for sale privately by someone I know, it's forged and had quite a bit of work done, Andy Forrest remap, sitting at 450bhp just now, 70k on clock and I must admit I do love the look of it.

Never driven a hatch so I suppose I was just looking for the pro's\con's from any Hatch owners , cheers

imo if done nicely, the hatches can look really nice. Nicer modern Scooby look.

It's pretty much un-modified look wise apart from the work under the bonnet

Not a fan of the hatches, glad they got dumped. But if you like them go for it.

I'd have a hatch over the hawkeye and I've owned both. There's also the plus of the benefit being a 330s so a little more refined with a things like keyless entry and go etc. Dash is a nicer place to be as well and the seats are more comfortable. Not to mention the hike in power over your current hawkeye.
