I cant agree with you more. The comfort and build quality of a wrx/sti is higher in the subaru and will give an overall more pleasureable daily use/ weekend racer tool than an evo.

The evo has always been the more ragged and agressive of the two and takes different personalities to drive either car at its limits.

I have described the comparison many times as the difference between a stripper and a ballet dancer. They basically do the same thing but in very different ways we can all appreciate.

That's confusing -- which one do you say is the Evo?

i owned 2 subarus prior to the evo and they didnt compare on the performance level. A stock evo felt a lot better than my modified subaru's

Not only did I like the styling more on the evo as time went on, but after watching the evo destroy the STI on top gear.... Well it kind of just made my answer clear on which car I wanted haha.

My boyfriend had an STi. The Evo just always caught my attention In my opinion, it's much more aggressive looking and an all around better looking car inside and out. Comparing both as in driving, the Evo takes the cake. It handles much more better than the STi by far. STi's are nice, but the Evo is 10x better.

Well almost bought a TSX. My cousinas knew i was in the market for a new car. Found my Evo with 16,514 mi. original. Took it out for a spin and been hooked ever since. I have driven 1g, 2g, before. Never anything like this. Its a four door, AWD, Turbo, It can either be the perfect family car or the baddest B@#$! on the block. Now i have the best of both worlds. Also no better feeling than destroying rivals on the road. Plus we all know that look of fear when they see our cars pull up or drive by.

GT3 I think is what made an entire generation of young Americans ask "What is that?!?" And then call Mr. Mitsubishi and demand that he start selling Evos stateside.

That is more or less how it worked for me, although I was living in Europe at the time.
