That was a good read...very informative. Have ya'll noticed, that as time has progressed, the comparos of the two cars has slowly begun favoring the handling of the STi over the EVO. Whereas, in the past, it was the EVO coming away a clear winner. Now, it's a bit hazy. Regardless, I chose the STi for brute power. Forget handling, forget looks, GIMME POWER.....

I also find it funny that more of the articles I've read lately have said that the evo's interior is nicer.... usually just refering to the recaros, and once a mention of the steering wheel...

Kinda funny... I guess that just means don't trust car reviewers.

Yea, it seems like most drivers need a bit more time to get a feel for the limits of the STi where as as they are more comfortable going faster in the Evo at first. However, once they have had some driving time behind the STi their times are faster or identical to the Evo on either tarmac or gravel. The article didnt suprise me that they thought the STi was better in the snow though. This machine does rock in the snow
