New shape STi or hawkeye

[jbaddeley]

Are their owners of the new Sti who have had previous subaru experience who are willing to share their experiences with me. I used to own an RB5 (brll) and currently run and E46 M3 which I love but my job is dependant on me being able to get around in the snow (currently a problem in the BM). I'm considering a new shape Sti or possibly a late Hawkeye Spec D and would appreciate the thoughts of anyone who has lived with either of the above.

a member of my club had the new sti and had loads of problems with car diffs/gearbox/engine but the thought is it was a certain batch of cars. the hawkeye in imho is a well sorted scoob and the spec D is a nice non big spoilered shout at me scoob.

Try a late blobeye i think the last ones were on a 55 plate. the 2.0 boxer engine is definately much better and more tunable and more reliable. The hawkeye suspension is alot stiffer and abit harder to live with.
