Default Re: HELP ME DECIDED!!!!! EVO or STi

Yeah, if you can hold out for the MR, then do it for sure.


Definitely drive both of them first off. I can give you a ride in my EVO if you are serious about buying one pm me. It is a very nice drive.

Really, if you like to drag race, get the STI. If you like to road race, get either one. If you want more of a daily driver, get the STI, if you want more of a race car, get the EVO. Both or fast as snot. The EVO is easier/cheaper to mod and the engine is proven to be bulletproof. The jury is still out on the 2.5 liter subie motor. If you don't want to do too many mods, just get the one that looks better to you because there really isn't much preformance difference right off. If you just want to drag race people, do not get the EVO. The clutch and transfer case do not take kindly to abuse. I drive very hard and have had zero problems after 17k miles. That is not the case for a lot of other people that like to launch the EVO. I think the STI drivetrain will take the abuse a bit better. The EVO's block can take MEGA boost and make good hp #'s with good reliability. Road racing is where it's at with the EVO.
