soundie Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 oh god Spec C mate - get it!! its lovely. Link to comment
bobbyc Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's a no brainer the spec c wins it every time, you buy the hatch your hand will alway's be in your pocket trying to achieve what the spec c already is Link to comment

graeme_mcfarlane Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 White Spec C and get yourself a set of rear lights from the 05 STI Graeme Link to comment
StrikE Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I would say that hatch as from experience it will piss over the spec c all day long. If i didn't like the hatch as much i would have bought the spec c as i was looking at them too That's a 330r not a 330s, big difference! Edited February 9, 2011 by StrikE Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Once again chiming in with a hatch when its not an option, anyone would think you designed it! I fail to see where a 330R pisses on a hawk spec C, feel free to nlighten the masses The 330R is nice but its not Spec C and its £3000 more... Edited February 9, 2011 by LewisScoob Link to comment
StrikE Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Once again chiming in with a hatch when its not an option, anyone would think you designed it! It is an option! as posted by OP I fail to see where a 330R pisses on a hawk spec C, feel free to nlighten the masses My own opinion from personal experience living with both cars, opinions was asked for & i gave it!

lewisscoob Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The 330R wasnt an option, you werent comparing eggs with eggs... Ok, so in your experience. Why is the 330S better then the Spec C? Not having a pop here Del, just interested. Link to comment
StrikE Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The 330R wasnt an option, you werent comparing eggs with eggs... Why is it not an option man, the posted link is for a 330s but it's been miss sold as a 330s where in fact it's actually a 330R. It also looks like from the back the chancers have stuck a 330s badge on too. That's a main dealer, mental! Is that legal? Ok, so in your experience. Why is the 330S better then the Spec C? Not having a pop here Del, just interested. I just think people have really given the new shape a bad rep, regardless of trim level. Ok there is a problem with the pistons on some cars & Subaru have moved away from the main stream direction the Impeza used to take. Not a lot we can do with that, but in keeping with modern times they designed a new shaped car. Utterly different from past marques to the horror of some folks You can't even buy an Impreza new now as its been changed to STI or something like that! The standard STI i had last year could just about keep up with most as a standard car (suspension wise) compared to others running coileovers & uprated springs, arbs, drop links and geometry. Just the way they have redesigned the suspension layout on the hatch it is completely different. I have & always will prefer a hatch to a saloon in any make of car purely for the simplistic versatility the hatchback gives over a tiny awkward boot. Living with 3 kids and a wife takes up loadsa room I like the updated interior trim also, again comparing the two i think the hawk is dated. That is in now way making any derogatory comments to hawk owners in anyway. Bearing in mind they are both value plasticy compared to Audi or BMW. I will be first to admit & that bugga Andy keeps reminding me i thought the hatch when it came out was the ugliest fooking thing on 4 wheels that graced the planet I did say that, i admit it. I just like the cars & i cant really type here what i am trying to say AND no doubt some dafty will come along and ''edit for accuracy'' I don't think you were having a pop as you rightly asked about what i said if i have missed anything post up buddy Link to comment
xphilsx Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Spec-C all day mate As much as the hatches are growing on me (only caus my gf wants one) they are not my cup of tea. I own a classic and there is nothing more that satisfies me than working on my own car with the kind of basic tools the average car enthusiast has in his garage. I don't want to have to take my car to the main dealer and plug a computer in just to change the brake pads, and walk out feeling like I've just been violated But obviously this is just my own opinion, others out there I'm sure will disagree and are welcome to their own points of view Back to the subject in hand...I do however think that other than the late classics, the blob eye and the hawk eye kind of retain the classic shape in some respects and for me are the nicest looking of 'modern' styling Link to comment
scooby222 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 got to say depends on what your using it for Paul, for me itd probably be the spec c but then my cars a toy these days, as an everyday car for family duties and to still put a smile on your face and embarras stuff the hatch. having followed Glyn up to Alford on his standard suspension hatch it did seem pretty damn well planted or quite possibly option c, hatch jdm pec c complete with 8k redline,mmmmmmm thought you were getting the hawk boosted up to big boys league though?

Was just surfin the net when I cam accross the Spec C, had a look at the hatch.........was just wondering...... The wife hates hatches so its probably not a goer, spend money on the Hawk(the wife uses it more than me)? Trade in the jeep and get a spec C Hawk? Link to comment
