Saw an STI yesterday, yuck!
Well after seeing an STI on the road yesterday I have decided on the EVO. I did not like the looks of the car at all. The STI pulled ahead of me and then I was directly in back of it. You think the EVO has a big wing, holy crap! the car looked like it had a picnic table sitting on it's back, very ugly. Anyway, I should have my silver EVO in a few weeks

Perhaps the Subaru has a narrower rear and it just appears larger. Either way it was fugly.

I think the STI was designed by a 2 year old with blue Play-Doh and a popsicle stick.

My humble opinion.

dude...come on! Sure the EVO is set up nicely for dry paved corners but that doesn't mean the STi is only good for straight lines.

not to mention dirt, i believe the EVO and STi were both tested off road and the EVO still had the upper hand..



enough you goons.. this chatter was fun about 2-3 months ago but now we have all the info we need. both cars are top notch performers... bring your best driver

Dry, Wet, Mud, Dirt, Gravel, evo will take the STI in any road race. Oh yea did i mention thats the sole purpose of these cars. So compare your little quater mile times, doesnt change the fact that the evo is just a better car.

I'm telling you guys!.. Get your EVO's now, cuz all the lamerz who didn't and waited it out to see the STI's are now sure they want EVO's and are gonna run to the dealers and all the deals will be gone!...

The only reason they are selling slow is cuz everyone was waiting to see the lame STI's

Hmmmm.....not on Willow Spring according to Sport Compact Cars. The STi beat the Evo, though they picked the Evo as their choice car.
