I say if you own something naturally aspirated or an economy car you'll be pvery leased with the EVO. What I'm thinking is that fellow Eclipse GSX/Taon TSi/Subaru WRX owners wont be super impressed by it especially if you have mods already and a stiff suspension like me. They'll be wondering what the heck did they just do. I'm actually thinking the EVO may have a less harsh suspension that my car lol. Mine's pretty tight.

IMO... For the money I think the S4 takes the EVO, but that is based on driving an S4 and not the EVO.

I bet if I drove the EVO I would change my mind.

My dad and brother took my Mitsu 3000GT VR4 Spyder for a 1000-mile road trip and were very comfortable in it. And that car had a pretty stiff stock suspension on it. I drove it everyday to work, school, and whatnot. The hardtop roof made for excessive wind/road noise, but it was bearable. Now I drive the BMW, and although it has way more luxury in it, I sacrificed all that performance. Thinking back on it, I probably should have kept the VR4. The ride was harsh and the interior was noisy. But I loved that car. The driving experience was totally satisfying.

Now you have to think about what you want. Both cars have 4 doors. The S4 has luxury. Can you live without the luxury of a navigation system, heated leather seats, or a kickin' stereo? If not, then by all means get the S4. Keep in mind that the S4 has a very small interior compared to the Evo. The S4 has like no backseat space at all.
