Have you EVO owners ever considered a new STi (08+)?

i driven the new sti, its good and what not, but i dont like the looks.
i am happy with my evo ix. even though the new sti seems to be plenty better than the evo x.
to expensive to mod either way

i have driven them all and would never leave the 03 evos lol. i HATE the feel of electronic controls on the drivetrain IE. ACD, DCCD. i prefer the mechanical diffs of the 03-04 evos. also the sti 6speed i hate with a passion besides it being slower. there is no way to justify the extra 10k for an STI over the WRX.

the GR STI(08+) is a much better car for everyday driving. i would have bought one if it came with a DSG transmission like my MR has. the evo is better for performance, but its build quality is far from that of the subaru. especially the interior, well minus the front seats. the engine of the STI is so much better sounding, the entire car is more practical, i could go on...
Point 2. A DSG Transmission..??? WTF it seems you missed the point in buying a performance car. Manual transmissions are quite more enjoyable to drive. When the computer starts doing the work for you and you find that enjoyable you might as well get a automatic transmission.
Point 3. The engine of the STI is better sounding..?? WTF You make it seem like this is a valid contest or something.. Get a nice exhaust and listen to the 4G63 Rev. I don't know about you but mine sounds pretty ****en mean.
Point 4. The Evo Engine is far superior in terms of reliability and performance over the STI motor. I know 6 of my friends and all of them have blown their engine due to the factories bad ECU lean fuel settings from factory. I don't know if you've heard but alot of new stock STI's are blowing up due to this problem. There was even a factory reflash to fix this problem. My car has never been down... it's my only car and all I do is keep the maintenance on it. It returns the favor to me everyday I turn that key.
The evo isn't for everyone and from the looks of it it seems you need to find a quieter practical and more luxury vehicle.. It seems you bought the Evo for all the wrong reasons.
