What do I buy? Or is it personal taste?

I didn't have this problem with my Impreza as the STI was far superior in all aspects (air-con, performance, etc...) over the UK variants in my price range.

So do I go with UK or JDM, what are the differences if any?

I've seen one for sale here - http://www.futurautos.co.uk/car_info...asp?car_id=116

Anybody know of this one or what the garage are like? Does it look OK?

BTW it has 58,000 miles on the clock.

Thanks,

Nick

Get a few insurance quotes on both, then work that out with the purchase price and there you go.

Alternatively buy a European car (RHD) still get the saving, then as long as it has a UK certificate of conformity then insurance shouldn't be different.
In fact insurance on my originally Belgium car is less than a UK one

Looks like a JDM, 'Smoke Silver' , a pity that the larger pictures don't match up with the thumbnails.

One of the pictures shows a non OEM front lip.

7 years old and 58k on the clock is ok if thats what your looking for, check for regular services from honda though with out a doubt!

Mine is an import ..

You get an extra 10bhp apparently (higher compression and different pistons I read somewhere). Doubt you'd notice it.

Early ones didn't have the light washers.

Also the Japanese engine gets 2 knock sensors and no oil pressure one (again, I think).

Some came with cloth seats, and colours like white which you couldn't get here.

For me the insurance didn't change.

Yes it's a shame the pictures don't match! I might get them to email me some later. I'm waiting to see if they'll up the offer of

Does this allow you to fit more food down in one go?

If so, I might be interested in a JDM.....

A typo that I often make too, so I shouldn't mock....... But I still do!

I know those guys - they are a good company.

More experienced in Skylines etc. but they source good cars.

Mine's a JDM and has been fantastic - I have owned it for 5 years and still cna find nothing I want more. If you look properly you will find no difference in insurance; I have just renewed for
