for a family car the evo has much more leg room. the suspension is rough but i hear the mr struts make for a very nice ride. the power in the low rpm's is great after a few mods too.

 

well you are 40+ so you wont be too agressive on the street i assume, but now days i have seen some crazy middle age driver on the road looking for a pick up race. Just tonite on my way home some idiot in a galant tried to race me LOL with his high beam on and move his car left and right behind me. Anyways lets get back to the point/ evo and sti. Sti is a better daily driver then the evo. Few weeks back i tried to purchase my 2nd evo, but my grandma stopped me. She said she want a car thats smoother rider and you have a family to think of, so i say go with the sti.

 

Either one you choose I think you're going to be happy. I loved my subaru and there are things that I miss about it, then again there are also things that I love about my evo.

I miss the look of the car, I think it drew less attention, I miss the six speed. Can't say that I miss doing anything with the flat4, when I did my injectors in 20 minutes on the evo I almost cried as that's a long job with the subies. .

 

Lets add into the equation the Nissan G35 coupe with all wheel drive @ 300hp

 

if u want a family car, neither the evo or the sti are for u. u want something like an s4, m3, cts-v, cars with sime nice displacement so u wont lag around town. i own a 03 evo moded up to about 315whp and when i put 4 people in my car, u can tell its a 4 cylinder. if u have the money go for something bigger with more displacement, u will ba happy u did. now if u are looking for a car for u to s h i t around in then the evo is for u.

 

piece of *** and its not a family car, hense only 2 doors. duh

 

Changing spark plugs or trying to determine WHICH head gasket you blew on a Subie sucks. 2x valve trains to break, no room to work, 2hrs of work just to access the motor (IC on top).

Look at a 463g sideways and you'll make more power. Fun, easy to work on.

If you were to autoX or track them, chances are the Evo will flatter your driving more.

If you like to mess with your cars the Evo is the clear choice. If you intend to leave it as the factory intended, the STI would most likely be all around better choice for street/DD.

 

Well put

 

ive driven the **** outta both

the sti has more body roll, shorter gears and a weaker clutch in my opinion

it looks better outside and inside though

the evo has nicer seats, better handling IMO, but ****ty customer service

if it came down to it, id go for the evo

 

As an STi owner, I would agree with what most everyone has to say. Some additions, If you want an EVO as a fast family mobile get the '05-'06 MR. It has softer suspension than the GSR or the RS, and soaks up the bumps better.
Still I think an STi is a better daily driver if your not going to track the car much and your not going to mod it much either.

Regarding the G35 coupe...Its not AWD. Only the Sedan is and its not 300hp.

 

yeah g35x is the awd

 

yo awdriven do you know the spec's for the 06 sti i seen one here by me at the dealer pretty ugly front yours looks better but do they pose a threat to us at all or still the 300hp?

 

as a prior sti owner, the evo is a bit easier to mod, but both are fun cars

 

Its the same STi as '05, basically just some revised bodywork.

 

Handling has been improved with some aero and mechanical changes to the dccd system.
