Default Re: Why Did You Pick your STi over an Evo?

Boxer engine (hate the sound of inline 4's)
I like Subaru as a company heaps better than Mitsu
Interior looks chav (rice) in the EVO
They put battery in the boot of the EVO, nullifying room
Hatchback on the STi was a huge + for me.

I wrecked my first STI and thought about getting something else and in the end their just wasnt anything that would be able to compare in the same price range.
I drove an EVO first and the just didnt seem to pack the punch that the STI had.

Thats funny because i got mine from a Mitsu dealer too, i still roll with the south coast mitsu license plate frame on the back LOL. I saw they had the lowestest priced 05 STI, which at the time that i was looking was 27k and talked them down 3k they were all pretty cool there!! The guy who sold me the car owned an EVO and invited me to roll with him and his EVO buddies through the canyon sometime! He also told me if i needed any parts he could get em dirt cheap for me!! Basically i wanted to get the most rawness for my $ which was the STI. With either car you really cant go wrong, just test drive both and figure which one you like better cuz u gotta live with it not us!! Ive had no disapointments with my STI and would definately suggest one for yourself.

I test drove the sti and boy was I disappointed,this car dies at high rpms. Moved on to the evo and I was sold.

Looks: Evo
Interior: evo (recaros) vs rice blue interior
Better car: evo
Better resale value: Evo
4g63 FTW!

Its been proven that more people that own sti move on to a evo. Then vise versa
go figure.


Besides evo sounds better than Std oops meant sti haha

I almost got a mr for 32,000 with 60,000 thank god I waited the evo is nice but I got my 05 with 19,000 not modded for 23,000 why so much for the evo is must be the fact that it comes stock with full coil lovers I must say I rides nice but two much money for what you get must be the nice seats . This was a year a go mrs are getting cheaper but the sti are built to last.

The WRX was my dream car when I was a kid in high school... fast forward 10 years and I could finally afford one!

pretty much against what everyone says right there you lose.....

Haha since its been proven give me some sources. Most people who buy STi's get more STi's or get higher end cars. I've only seen a few people who have gone to the Evo side. I'm not going to keep buying STi's. I'm probably ganna pick up a BMW 335xi for my next car.

Evo sounds horrible.........
