Subaru should pay you for the advertisements and awesome photo shots. Some of those shots belong in a STI brochure.

One thing I have to add to my comparison.

The interior in the STI wins hands down. The feel of it, the material used and just the overall fit and finish is way above the Evos interior. The seat fabric on the Recaros in the Evo is already starting to fade a bit after 1000 miles. The STI has Recaros as well, with leather side bolsters. That will crumple and get tired as well. Most people that looked in both the cars said the STI looks better. It´s more pleasing for the eye.

Even a friend of mine, who is an avid Evo lover, admitted that the STI interior is better than the Evo. He also admitted that he felt quite good in there. Got a little racing feel. Like the little muscle wanted to go racing.

But the only downer for the STI interior vs. Evo interior is room. The Evo has much more leg, shoulder and headroom. Sure, the STI has more trunk space, but you need space around yourself more than you need space for your occasional luggage. But still, the STI has the upper hand regarding interior.

I've driven ADDI's STI, and i just have to say, it is F***ing amazing, going back to my Bugeye was a disaster, and even going in to my Benz or Range Rover. the desire for this lightning red STI is overwhelming Addi watch out, i might just steal it!

Addi is well known in by Iceland's car enthusiasts for his choice of cars, and GREAT photography

congratulations again friend.

nice seats! Hope they're narrower and more snug than the usdm ones. Mine are too damn big, I feel like I'm driving a school bus sometimes.

That was the BEST review I have read regarding the STI vs EvoX debate. Most articles just talk about how each car handles on the track. But 95% of the buyers use their cars as DD. I'm starting to like the 08 more & more
