Because they are so close in spec, I think the STI represents a better value because of the lower price tag.

If you arent a tuner, then the STi might be your bag. However, I know of a few guys on some Suby boards who have already blown engines and trannys!! The STi is made to handle the power is was built with, and the EVO can take a HUGE leap in power without having to worry about stuff breaking. MR hands down to the tuners!

Sti has a better awd system than the evo, and also better weight distribution.
