I just gave my .02 to another person at another thread here that has a 19 STI and is thinking about getting an Evo:

Cliff notes - Evo all the way, love mine so much that my 16 STI is barely even a thought anymore. Love the raw feel of an older car versus the refined soft & refined "new car feeling" of the STI, so much more of a fun driver's car. But, it's a 13 year old car, so don't be surprised if you come across mechanical issues from just being an old car.

Have had both at the same time. Just sold my STi. I can't get myself to sell the evo. Its one of the few cars I have owned and have kept. It just puts a smile on my face. I daily drove mine for years before I decided it was time to get something else as a DD. I liked my STi. I did a lot of work to it and was a fun daily but I hated how cheap it felt inside. Not that the Evo is luxurious but I like the simplicity of my Evo IX MR.
My 2015 sti was on e85 and was quick and fun to drive but again just felt really cheap when in the drivers seat. Both cars were easy to work on. STi has a slight edge when it comes to the trans but the motor can be a ***** to work on depending on what you are doing.
Even now with a few grown up cars I still love driving my evo. And we have a 2018 M3, 2018 Audi RS3, Ford Raptor and the Evo. With all those toys the evo still puts the biggest smile to my face.

Newbie
When I was shopping for a new toy a few months ago I considered a new STi. I used to have a GD back in 2006 and I absolutely loved it. But the newer ones are just too big for me. So I picked the Evo IX. However, I wouldn't daily my IX...
