Ive always been a domestic guy and pretty much still am . The only foreighn car to ever appeal to me was the WRX/STi for whatever reason I dont know it just does . So I made the decesion to buy the STi and I dont regret it one bit . If I want a 1000 hp capable car Im sure as hell not buying a EVO, that is mustang country right there .

Boxer motor, lower center of gravity, the sound, symmetrical AWD, and of course....the subaru community

If i could chose again i would go for new 07 STI over an EVO or any other STI models but since i couldnt chose which model i can buy i bought 08 STI beacuse that was the only option. I like EVO more in almost every way but EVO is i think 13 000 € more expensive than STI in Serbia so i stayed with STI.So the only reason i didnt buy EVO is price!!!

Nicer interior, Stronger drivetrain, styling, exhaust tone

Trying to split the Evo and STi on performance grounds is not even worth it. Sure on most track comparos the Evo is a hair faster, but typically by not even half a second.

Subaru is consistently ranked very high on reliability surveys (JD Power/Consumer Reports) while Mitsu is more average. The GD/GR chassis has always had impressive crash test rankings, while the Evo8/9 have been mediocre at best.

I actually love both (previous years, not too much of a fan of new models for both companies, tho in recent months the 08 Sti has grown on me a bit)

My buddy has an 03 EVO and ive never driven it (rode in it quite a few times) and its really nice. We've raced twice but it was never really serious and always rolling starts. With his mods we are about evenly matched but he has a little better pull in 3rd gear than my STI. However I just got tuned by Agile and have yet to race him since then, so next time im home (this weekend) we'll see .

I would have gotten either one, but when i got my reenlistment bonus there was my 05 sitting at a bmw dealership and availability is key to buyin a car If I could've found an 03 to 05 Evo with less than 40,000 miles on it and stock for less than what i paid for my STI i'd be drivin an EVO.

However i am glad i got that STI, cuz im the only one whos got one in my collection of friends.
+1 on boxer rumble
+1 on torque (345 wtq now INSANE!! i thought it would be high 200s)
