i would get an evo all the way.its 4door, great handling,good stock power,with lots of room for upgrades.you can pick a nice evo up for 19k and buy a bolton turbo kit and make 500whp with no probs.

get the sti ... not the evo... if you don't plan to mod.
the sti is a better "stock" car.. more power ... and great sounding exhaust.

evo reliability isn't a problem really.. depends more about who drove it, how many bullshit launches and how well the car was maintained.

with that said... the evo is a awesome car... sharp as a razor, pretty quick, easy to add power, and loves to be driven at 10/10ths. It's almost impossible to drive the car without breaking the law

the m3 would be a better choice if you're trying to avoid police attention.

And there in lies the reliability. He can't afford (or doesn't want to ) a new one so he might be buying someone else's abused car.

I'd love to own an Evo as well.

yes.. but i'm not sure if that's so much the evo reliability problem as it is... any car reliability problem.
Perhaps... more people are prone to try and abuse an evo.... because they like to be run hard.

s2k is a great car. I'm just looking for something a little faster in a straight line and that responds to mods a little better. I don't want to spend $2000 on i/h/e on the S and gain like 10 hp

I don't know about how m3's respond to MOD's, but they are fast enough stock for me.
