I have not checked an STi out yet, but one concern I had with the normal WRX was that the doors feel a bit light/flimsy when closing them. I know this doesn't have anything to do with the car's performance but the Evo has a more solid door feel from what I have seen. It's a minor concern, but I was curious.. Do you think anything like Dynamat under the door panels would make the doors feel more solid or is the STi better that the WRX in this regard?
I am looking at both cars and while I like the layout and options (sunroof, radio)of the Evo better, I feel that the Subaru engine will be more reliable and I don't want an insane steering ratio (plus I like cruise control). There are aspects of each car that I like. I think the Subaru is the better buy overall. BTW, I have read about the STi hood flexing at high speeds... is this a valid concern?
