Top mounts are gay, the inside looks like it came out of an 80's basemate besides the cluster,i like the evo bbs's better, our momo wheel is better feel wise, the recaros hols you in better, there vortex generator looks like it belongs on a hang glider, head gaskets and spark plugs suck on a boxer engine, there everywhere. The only reason i would buy an sti is for the boxer rumble they sound nasty. Cruise control would be nice also.

Besides looks, it's faster for cheaper.

I love mitsubishi and wanted the legendary 4G63. I had a 97 Mirage I tricked it out for show and have been lusting over the Evo since 98. I was in the process of getting a JDM 2.0 cyclone to drop in the car til I heard the Evo was coming to town.

Didn't read through the rest of the thread, but my answer is simple:

The STi is FUGLY

I dunno, I almost like the look of the STI better, but the Evo is just faster, better handling, and gets more respect.

Evo had more rear seat leg room, easier to mod, and came with the option of a sunroof!! and at the time, had projector HIDs, which the 05 sti didn't have. . .

Rally Heritage, familiarity with the 4g63, bigger back seat for the kids.
