Whenever snow is predicted, I switch to my rims with the Blizzaks and eagerly await a lot of fun driving in the white stuff.

Since my car is getting old (85K), I'm looking to replace it with an EVO IX or STI. So I have a question for you EVO drivers who like to drive in the snow.

When I used to run a fmic on my WRX, it would ice up in the snow. Does an EVO have this problem too?

 

You may get some snow on the FM, but it doesn't hurt anything... if anything it helps keep it cool.

 

No worries just make sure that the mesh in front of the FMIC is clear and not packed in with snow.

 

If your going to get a STi, don't get an 06. Truely fugly

 

Yep, IMO the '06 STI is ugly, but has a nice new center diff. and smaller scoop. If I go with it, it'll be despite its looks. I just want a fun and close-to-stock four door rain/snow car that'll only have aftermarket engine management and a TBE.

 

If you're going to keep it stock or close to stock and want the better daily driver the STI is the better choice IMO.
