Evo v. STi ( Another vid )
Evo v. STi ( Another vid )

I wish I knew what they were saying about them. You could tell that the STi was understeering, but it definatly held its own. I really do not think that you could go wrong with either, but I am an Evo person so that is where I am heading...
You can always buy some of the optional parts later and have them installed at the dealer. I would really think about it if I were you. It sounds like you are having doubts about it, and if that's the case, you better not rush into them. If you have considered the stereo, I'd go to the dealership and see if you actually like it first. An aftermarket one is always an option, but if you are not into that sort of thing, then you have only two options.

In the beginning the girls scream out "Good luck!"
The announcer says: Let's get started with a normal checkup!
Kinoshi(t)a (in the Evo X): Well I'm driving the SST model, it's more luxurious and there is a weight handicap, but on this twisty course...the Evo will definitely win
Tsuchiya (in STI): Well we've made it to the Togei Central circuit, the STI is an adult, luxurious gentleman like car and I'll be taking off gracefully letting Kinoshi(t)a head out first.
Announcer: The longest straight is 677m...is this a course where we'll see the full high speed potential of these cars on this technical course?
"Central Circuit" 3 Laps Battle
Announcer: Let's start the Time and Battle
Kinoshi(t)a (inside Evo): Haha...I'm taking off...I'm pulling away, what's Tsuchiya doing?
Announcer: On the warm up, is ok to be slacking off?
Tsuchiya: This is great in the corners. What's with that F1 shifting? I'm showing you how to shift! (around the turn) I'm losing to the electronics!
Kinoshi(t)a: Around this part the Evo is perfect! Let's do it! And should be pretty fast going around here. And braking, here no problem!
Announcer: This is a technical section of the course (lots of corners), but these 2 cars should have no problem.
Tsuchiya: Turn in a lil, a lil, let's go!
Kinoshi(t)a: Man, I'm not really pulling away! The "Drift King" is pretty damn good!
(video time 2:20)
Tsuchiya: Man the brakes are fading! Let's go!
Kinoshi(t)a: BRAKE!!! I'm not shifting down...hahaha...the wipers...I suck at using the Paddles!
Tsuchiya: So you're about to see the extreme magic of that F1 shifting (just like the GTR).
Announcer: Heading into the back straight away, the Impreza (with the HP advantage) should make some ground.
(Video inside Tsuchiya's STI) Announcer: But, on the technical section, the Evo is running away!
Tsuchiya: Man these electronics are holding me back!
Announcer: Hear we get to see Kinoshi(t)a's electronics on the Evo helping him out with the AYC killing the turns.
Tsuchiya: Let's go! Man, I can't really...(probably wants to say catch up
Kinoshi(t)a: Heh...what to say I'm pushing it, but it's pretty equal...
Announcer: They're able to slide around more than I imagined, but is this gonna mess with Kinoshi(t)a's lead?
Kinoshi(t)a: YES! With this kind of lead, I think I got it
Tsuchiya: Damn...
Announcer: We've entered the Battle's Final Lap!
(inside Kinoshi(t)a's Evo) Announcer: Kinoshi(t)a's changed up his driving style in the Twin Clutch SST!
Kinoshi(t)a: Give up on hard braking and let the gearing do the work. Nice I was really paying attention there because I'm not very good on the straights!
Announcer: Kinoshi(t)a is making better time than the warm up, this is gonna be a battle of brakes!
(video time 4:47)
Kinoshi(t)a: Yeah...hehe...he...woah!!!
Announcer: Tsuchiya is trying to hang on behind first place Kinoshi(t)a, but...
Tsuchiya: Man the understeer is really getting bad. (5:12) "God dammit!" I can't believe this...probably the tires!
Announcer: The Evo has the high performance package tires with tremendous grip, and the Impreza with the Potenzas...the end of this battle is going to be tough!
Tsuchiya: Man it got me...
Kinoshi(t)a: I did it! I did it!
Announcer: and the winner of the battle goes to Kinoshi(t)a in the Evo X!
Cute Japanese chicks: "YAY!!!!!!!!"
(Outside the cars)
Girl says to Tsuchiya: Ahh...you lost! and Tsuchiya replies..."I didn't lose! I was doing good in the beginning...but I lost in the shifting...
