Why you bought your EVO over an STi, I need insight!

Last but not least, the wife said "the STI is ugly"...

lol my wife said the same thing, and that was the determining factor between sti and evo for me
I tried both (STi / EVO8 / EVO8 MR) and I chose the Evo MR. I don't like the looks of the STi as much (without a body kit) and the the MR is the best drive I've had in a stock car and one of the best in any car! I've had some pretty good drivers (Datsun 510, 240Z; '98 Mitsu Eclipse GSX, '91 VR4; '03 Toyota GT-S; - all very modified), and the MR is the best. I agree with those who say if you don't abuse it then reliability wont be a problem.

Unfortunately there is a low percentage of cars on both sides that have problems.
Sorry for your misfortune -- you are not the norm.
yea i never said i didnt like the car, but using it as a commuter car when you commute 80+ miles a day is pure folly. Even if you have no problems, maintenance alone on this beast will crush you at that rate. This car isn't meant to be driven that much.
you have to drive an evo one way or the other. Digging through the rest of the details would be splitting hairs. I drove both, and i liked the evo better...much better.
I think evo's are cheaper to mod to a certain point as well.

The only thing i would worry about is how the car was treated b4....you should check out to see if the warrentee is still in effect. And if you are ok with mistubishi's future being up in the air then do it!

I like them both. Never driven the STI yet, but if I were to get another car it would have to be another evo. I don't know why, it's always been EVO for me. It's like I prefered walking than running.
