If this video wasn't bias, then I dont know what bias is.

"I really hate the knob don't you?"

If this guy can host a show any one can, anyone! Even if your mute and dumb.

Is someone paying him for that piece of ****??

I don't agree with that guy. Once I saw the Evo X in person I was really impressed with the way it looked. I like it in pictures, but after seeing it in real life I really want one.

Yeah those guys were morons. Oh and I'm sure that the STi being the owners car had nothing to do with the bias against the evo. Someone needs to tell the host that he looks like a moron with those pork chop side burns, and perhaps both of them need to read car and driver, motor trend, road and track, automoile magazine, edmunds, and every other magazine that's compared the two and picked the evo in every single test. Different strokes for different folks? I don't think so, I thinks it's just educated and uneducated. Rant over...

Whatever. I had an 04 STi for almost 4 years, and I went through 3 sets of defective rear struts, and the plastic center dash section around the radio had the paint wear off from lightly touching the cord from my radar detector. Subarus are no better made than mitsubishis, and vice versa. They are prety equal and both have their little quirks. If you want to talk about design flaws though, lets talk about heat soak from a top mount intercooler. Let's see, where's the best place to put the heat exchanger for the turbo? Oh I know, let's put it on top of the hottest part of the car, the engine! Hey, let's also make the suspension vagina soft and use seats that have no side bolstering. You slide all over the interior just like how the car slides off the track with understeer. Sorry, but I've been on both sides of the fence and as much as I loved my STi, EVO FTMFW, period. Oh and BTW, who cares about the ecu needing a dealer reflash? Subaru put a stop sale on all the 08 STi's because of massive engine problems. So yet again, Evo X FTW.

Was I the only one that picked up on the fact that the owner of the shop owned the STI? LOL of course it was biased. but it was still fun to watch.

I vote: Gay.
I "definitely" second that vote...definitely.

Oooh the STI with a custom downpipe sounds better than the Evo!......uhhhh....

I admit THIS particular segment was pretty lame. I think it's because, clearly, that shop specialized in subarus. Anyway, check out their other episodes. The others are more interviews really. Much better than that episode.

Yeah... I'll agree that is was a biased review...but they did let you know that...they mentioned that the STI was owned by one of the reviewers...so it wasn't totally dishonest.
