I owned a 2005 sti for a year and have had my evo for four years

aside from the boxer rumble and honoring of the warranty

there is absolutely nothing else in any category that would make me get a sti over an evo

 

+1.. Mine 6k miles spun bearing last month.. Made only 300hp..

i haven't had much seat time behind the older sti's but i think they do make better DD. as for build quality since my lack of seat time in sti's i don't know about how they hold up but my roommate has an 08 2.5 and i have seen that thing just start to go to hell buy itself. the center console doesn't latch anymore, the rubber around the doors is going like white? the tranny is loosing its sharpness.

 

www.iwsti.com is way better than Nabisco but it's only STI's.

 

Good point about the dealership support. But the Evo enthusiast community is very strong and makes up for any shortcomings at the dealer end.

 

evo any day, it will be an unending argument. I drove 3 or 4 different STI's and drove my evo for the first time and bought it. totally worth it.

 

q rack is nice. i had one in my 05 custom spec'd by Tibor. the down side to it is it chews through power steering pumps like crazy. i did like the 10:1 2 turns lock to lock steering with the additional turn in he gave me. the car was crazy fast to flick in and out of corners.

 

I don't think I would drive a car that had to be approved by a girl..


I have always loved the sound of the STi....

 

ummm ok...

 

honestly if u start modding who cares about a warranty.

 

warranty = fun ender!!

and ill say it again...
sound: STI's Rumble > Evo's stock exhaust
STI's Rumble < Evo with cams

hands down

 

why do u park ur evo next to a million dollar Ferrari bro? Your evo stand out better park next to a honda or toyota

 

Evo with HP Spins Tires.. Sti with HP spins bearings..
