Should I sell and buy....

I recently purchased a 2011 STi and though this car is nice I would much rather prefer an EVO X.

The STi just doesn't feel as good as my old EVO VIII.

Should I trade my 2011 STi for a 2010 EVO X, since there are good deals right now...I know I'll be losing money on the STi but if I can get the dealer to give me a good trade in value I'm game.

I should've just went for the EVO X in the first place and not have this heartache >.<....I choosed the STi for the 6 spd gearbox but after all it wasn't worth it ..

I'll be going for a wicked white GSR because I like having three pedals...any advice if I should trade or keep?

Just put the money that you will be losing on the trade to mod STI.
intake, header, catback, and tune.
suspension mod
and air/oil seperator to keep your engine in good condition.

It's hard to say not knowing your financial situation. If money isn't an issue do what will make you happy and if that means taking a loss on the STI and getting an EVO X do it. You may be able to make out okay selling privately as STI's are on B/O in some places so if someone doesn't want to wait you may be able to work something out.

If money matters just keep the STI at least for a couple of years. It's not that bad of a car and least the 2011 suspension addresses some of the body roll that is horrible on 08-10 models. Too bad they still ship North American models with the crappy seats. Civic Si's have more supportive seats.

I guess it really depends on your financial situation. If you're well off and willing to take somewhat of a substantial hit, then by all means follow your heart and get yourself in an X. If it's going to put you in the poor house, or you'll be struggling then keep it. I personally can't stand the styling of it, but it's not like the Subies are bad cars. Also, as mentioned above atleast they addressed the suspension a bit.
