2015 WRX STI or JDM Hatch STI

Having trouble deciding on which would be the best choice. I know the new STI is still using the 2.5 engine but apparently its better but I could get a 5 year warranty for peace of mind or I could get a JDM 2.0 Hatch STI (prefer the hatch over saloon).
The car will be my daily so I'm leaning towards the 2015 and the warranty will give me peace of mind, I'm not planning on tuning as I would be happy with the 340 package.

Would the new one be wise? I could stretch and source a R205 hatch but might not be as good for being a daily but it would be a better drive and cheaper road tax!

Personally I'd get a 2015 and change the crappy alloy wheels. Or wait until next year and get a focus RS.

If the 5 year warranty covers the engine and associated potential 2.5 issues, then I don't what you have to lose.

I'd want the latest engineering and revisions and the old hatch is not that. Still good though but I like the new ones a lot.

3 year warranty on the STi.

Ah, maybe with the 340 pack they up it to 5. But will be through the dealer rather than Subaru (I believe).

Thinking about getting the 340 upgrade, but want different wheels first.

I'd have the JDM hatch sti over the saloon
