I dont necessarily like the SRT-4 cuz it is as you say a neon, LOL.
The offtopic discussion enlightened me on the details of the capabilities of the EVO which impress, but I still like the STI.
Im always open to suggestions/opinions, hence this thread.
Nice try on psychoanalyzing me, but, WAY TO FAIL!

I did not say i made a decision.
I established an opinion that I like the STI.
Nothing is ever set in stone until i take the check to the dealership.
i like to hear peoples arguments, pros/cons, etc.

By these actions alone, and this thread...(asking dragva members advice as to which car you should buy); i can already tell that you are the type of person that would much rather prefer the Srt4...because it is geared and markted towards the ricer that you are.
So get the SRT4 because it is teh f4star.
p.s And don't forget to build up a callous around your ego when the taunts of "its just a neon" come flying your way.

Re: STI or EVO or SRT-4
The SRT4 is just a Neon. Seriously though, who cares. The STi is just an Imprezza, and the Evolution is just a Lancer. They all come from shitty, humble economy cars. They're all still great vehicles as far as performance goes.

Zero to 60 in around 5.8 seconds
Quaife automatic torque biasing (ATB) differential
Lancer Evolution VIII
MSRP* $ 30,699
Comes standard with a factory performance-tuned 2.0-liter, DOHC, 16-valve, turbocharged engine with 276 horsepower and 286 lb-ft torque - front-mounted air-to-air intercooler - close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission - full-time AWD with electronically governed Active Center Differential and driver-selectable mode: Tarmac, Snow or Gravel - aluminum front fenders and hood - 4-wheel ventilated BREMBO® disc brakes with 4-channel anti-lock system (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) - 17" x 8" ENKEI® alloy wheels - W-speed-rated Yokohama P235/45 ADVAN® high-grip, soft-compound radial tires - color-keyed rear spoiler with carbon-fiber airfoil - front Recaro® Sport bucket seats with premium sport fabric - leather-wrapped MOMO® three-spoke steering wheel - 140-watt CD audio system with 6 speakers - available 315-watt Infinity® CD audio system with 6 speakers plus trunk-mounted subwoofer - available front Charcoal leather-surfaced Recaro® seats - keyless entry system and more.
IMPREZA WRX STI SEDAN
Starting at $32,445*
At the intersection where the most performance-directed type of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive meets a 300-hp turbo boxer engine, you will find the super-charged driving experience of the WRX STi.
* 300-hp 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer engine with Active Valve Control System (AVCS)
* Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with helical-type limited-slip front differential and mechanical limited-slip rear differential
* High performance sport-tuned 4-wheel independent suspension
* Brembo performance braking system with Super Sport ABS
* 17 X 8.0-inch 10-spoke BBS lightweight aluminum-alloy wheels with ultra high-performance tires1
* Iridium spark plugs
* STi-design front seats
Either way you look at this the STI is in last. For the price EVO is better! Bang for the buch SRT-4 is better. Probably the only thing the STI has going for it is a better AWD system and interior. My personal opinion the SRT-4 and the EVO have lackluster interiors. The SRT-4 is to be expected for its price but the EVO, come-on! I have personally driven all of the cars and I was disappointed by the EVO's interior. Money is no object, GET THE EVO! If your as old as you sound and as enexperienced as you come across get the SRT-4!

Nobody will ever call it ugly, it'll get you more pussy than you know what to do with, and nobody will ever ask "why didn't you get a STI\EVO\SRT-4?" But if you don't want a vette because it's a V8 domestic I've got a deal for you, go buy one, give it to me, and I'll give you my SRT-4 even swap
just because you can afford to buy a z06 doesn't mean you can afford to keep a z06.
everybody thinks when you buy a sports sports car, you only have to pay for the price of the car. Thats a retarded assumption.
