i own a stage 2 09 wrx and am looking to get into an older evo to have no car payment but i can tell you that out of all the people i've met and hang around with that drive any platform of the wrx and the sti have yet to see any ringland issues. i think it was more a case of 2 or 3 happening in a short occurence of eachother so everyone jumped the gun. some stuff with forums and word of mouth is just here say. i love my subi but i like the evos a lot too.

The local shop bluepear likes to go to is a great shop, and the owner is a subaru fanatic (twin turbo + super charged STi).
He'll love the hatchback for his needs (bigger trunk, because we all know the X is a joke on trunk space), and his wife will love the Forester too I'm sure.
Grats!

Seems after every mod...there was more and more expenses involved and I got tired of them. One problem lead to another and the bills kept climbing.
And it was because I was modifing. Not just the habit or addiction to it.
Dont get me wrong I'll always love the EVO...

My last car was an 05 STi. I really miss the fit and finish of the interior, the lack of rattles, the harder pull (well still comparing to my X stock, I know the X has more raw potential). Just like people mentioned though, stage 2 mods and and a flash from FAT, Wingz or UMS and you'll be fine.
I'm jealous your wife went for the Forester too. I would jump for joy if I could convince my fiancé to get a wrx premium to replace her focus. She hates my evo, but loved my STi, and would never mod more than exhaust on a car, so I'm thinking the wrx premium would be perfect for her.
Bring the new wrx out to the marina or the pavs sometime soon!

I totally get ya, read the longer thread on the local forum too. I've known Rob from FAT since he worked in the garage at his mom's house in Prescott. Guy knows his stuff, you'll be fine modding a subie with him.

sorry to hear about your problems with the Evo.
if you ever have the time, it might be helpful for the forum to describe the problems you were having, especially because it sounds like you had a good shop do the work, so that was not the issue.
enjoy the WRX
