uh, isn't Chtysler yanky?
For reliablity, look at Japanese modded cars... how often do you see a huge HP WRX in a DVD filmed there? (apart from a few MY01 & on models) Compare that to the countless EVOs & I think u'll see that the people who really know the cars prefer the mitsu.
I really think u'll find that 95% of Subaru's superior POPULARITY here is due to the fact that they are VERY readily available, & cheap in comparison. (read an EVo is rare as a pig with wings in Australia)
I mean u can sometimes pick up a 98-99 WRX for around the same $$ as say a 94-95 GSR... step up to the EVO & STi & it is much the same... around $50G for a decent 97-98 EVO V.. about the same for a 01-02 STi. Don't quote me on these exact figures, but I think u'll find them pretty close to the mark.
Every motoring review I've seen in EVO vs. STi comparisons puts the Mitsu ahead, except for interior 'styling'.
Just a observation....

Ive been in about 3 EVO cars, evo I, III and VI and ive been in 2 WRX cars, now from what i saw the WRX was a nice car inside, but it just felt like i was in a washing machine, the EVOz on the other hand wernt as nice inside, but they still had that rally feel to them and they were a dream to drive. as far as contruction goes the EVO has it i think, i was with my neighour at a relos house and cousin was goin nuts, he just bought a club spec 2 and was driving it home one day and herd the floor make a noise, he took it back to subaru and they looked underneath... what did they find? the floor had split in 2 the crack was about 1 meter long and about 2.5 cm in the furtherst bit!!! once i heard that i went off the WRX, and apparntly this is common. Now i know the WRX has got good power but come on how dodgy is that? fit they are gana put that much power in a car make sure the thing can handel it atleast, ive never heard of a mitsi do that. sure the Galant wasnt great but ive never heard of a lancer or evo split its floor!
