Either way.. you'll love the car.
Ear to ear smiles everyday.
Really you need to drive a car. Because based on what I wrote someone said they would choose a Sti... However, I've driven both... I'd still stick with the evo.. all day long.
There is some things you can't quantify by reading stats.. or opinions.
oh..and both can be big money pits
