Any evo owners regret not getting the sti?
Just curious. I saw a post similar to this on nasioc (just the other way around), and they all went off on how the evo is a huge pos and they wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. So, any evo owners having second thoughts about getting an evo over the sti?
(Btw, I drove both, and settled on the evo because I though it handled MUCH better, plus it had less electronic do-dads)

Sometimes I regret it a little, since I had a 99 2.5RS. More hp and tq would be nice, not to mention a broader curve. Plus, the subys seem to be easier to rotate. HOWEVER, I think I would have regretted it more not getting the Evo. Too many times it has outshown the STi in the press.
Oh, and I'm not that tall, so I'm not sure I could have seen over the scoop...

I remembe sitting in an Evo and then the STi... hands down the evo feels a heck of alot better just from that angle. Everything seemed more postive and the shifting is more precise.

Another reason I started this thread is because all the sti owners seem to have an "sti is best ever, I wouldn't trade my car for the world" attitude, whereas many evo owners on this site come off as "my cars alright, but mitsu sucks, and it's an 03, and my glovebox rattles, and my clutch is slipping, and I get crappy gas mileage, and...".

Don't know what the older generation Subarus were like, but the new ones just do not compare to the Evo.

HELL MUTHAFARKING NO.
i wasn't even considering the sti.. i WAS considering a regular wrx for the price difference, but said fark it: EVO!
i don't want the sti and never did. your question should be: Any evo owners regret getting the evo over something else?
cuz i do love that g35 coupe... a whole lot... still, i don't think i'll ever regret getting the evo unless it becomes a maintenance ***** in the years to come...

The STI is an awesome car, but so is the Evo. The STI has a HUGE air scope that I could not get to grips with, but some people are ok with it. No regrets here. Anyway, 3-5 years from now all today’s hot cars will be old news and there will be something new and really hot that everyone wants. Good thing a car is not like a tattoo, you can always get rid of it.
