I was wondering if and why any of you here considered getting rid of your EVO, not for an X but for a 2008+ STi.

 

no.

 

it would have to be an addition for me, not a replacement

 

I love the look of the X but honestly, I like the interior of the VIII and X much better. It may be rental car but it's simple and pretty solid vs. the new one which seems to bark bigger than its bite with a flashier look with more squeaks and cheap plastic. My friend just got a new Lancer GSR and when I played with the climate knobs I felt like I was going to break the ****.

 

Not a big fan of how either of the new models look.

I'll stick with the 9 and it's previous family members

 

NO, and especially not after the 2009 wrx's being faster than the 2009 sti..yea read up about that one, subaru messed that up

 

The only thing I really like the about the Sti is the trunk space and 6 speed manual. I have to say Subaru's 6 speed feels butter smooth and much better than mitsu's 6 speed. Other than that... umm... damn. it feels cheap inside and a lot worse than evo x. Source: experience of almost being an owner of Sti because of the price.

 

maybe

 

i just went from a 04 STi to a Evo VIII and so far like the Evo alot better.. just miss the 6-speed

 

I had an 04 STi before but now I got a 500 whp Evo 8. Still misses the broad midrange torque of the Sti but moreover is the exhaust rumble. Evos are fun once you hit full boost but I prefer the STi for DD.

 

I might if I could get it with out having a payment any longer I would miss my evo and then have to kill myself for making a stupid decision JK

 

I have about as much of a tendency to get an STI as I do herpes.

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...

 

nope, i had an 03 evo, i considered an 04-05 sti, still loved the evo more. just traded in my 8 for a X. I do NOT like the 08 sti. Not my style.
