sad day, traded in 03 evo for 04 sti.
Hey your Dad must be a cool Dad. Look at it this way , if you play your cards right he may a year down the road give you his MR. Just tell him and help him with his car(modding it to get the best performance) and maybe he will help you with yours. To me they are both for the money great cars. You can show him this site and get him into his car!!
Have fun!

Both cars have their pros and cons, just depends what you like. Ended up choosing handling over brute power, though I miss smoking honda civics without even trying when they wanted to race street light to street light and smoked many a v-8 with my old STI. Going to keep my MR bone stock and am done with modding.

When I first got my EVO, I race a STi and we were back and forth, he'll win one and i'll win one. Its all on the driver, this was from a dig.
Enjoy your STi man. My boyfriend has one and it's nice, fun to drive, and sounds incredible with that boxter rumble. But you get ~325 whp before your li'l turbo is at max capacity. Slap in a 20g and you'll be gravy.

I had a 2004 black STI with over $10,000 in mods invested in it. Traded it in for a MR and love the MR much more than the STI but miss the low end power of my sti.
