Default WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE AND WHY????

With the P1 up for sale, I'm looking for a suitable replacement and had 4 specific cars in mind but not sure which one to go for once I sell mine.

The 4 choices are as follows:

HAWK-EYE SPEC C
Auto Trader UK - SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 STi Spec C 4dr

HAWK-EYE SPEC C V-LTD
Subaru : 380bhp subaru impreza wrx sti spec c v-limited

BLOB-EYE SPEC C RA
Auto Trader UK - SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 WRX STi Spec C 4dr Type C. RA. One of 350

BLOB-EYE LITCHFIELD TYPE 25
Auto Trader UK - SUBARU IMPREZA 2.5 WRX STi Type UK 4dr Saloon

All of the above are similar in price and mileage so thats not really a factor, just undecided which is best to go for.

YOUR OPINION COUNTS

Spec C V-limited looks quality... That's where i would go...


Most powerful, newest, and lowest mileage.... I do however prefer the look of the blobeyes.... so I'd go for the Type 25 next....

Would go V-limited then hawk spec C, the blob (even though i have one) is starting to look a bit dated

Thats what I thought but still loving the White Spec C RA. Got all the bits on it I want, carbon rear wing, einki alloys and the nicer interior. But sensible head on tells me to go for the newer, less mileage V-Ltd.

Would there be a noticible performance difference between the 2, forgetting about the obvious power advantage of the V-Ltd?

The only thing putting me off the Type 25 is the age of it and heard horror stories about the oil consumption of them due to the forged bottom ends.
