I always thought STi's had better interiors than us. Evo's interior is full of cheap plastics and rattles.

Depending on the year/gen really.

I've got a friend with a '02 bugeye, and the interior is cheaper than my '05 MR. On the other hand, one of my coworkers has a '10 sti hatch, and the interior is nicer than mine. It's also heaver and doesn't have the same "race" feel to it. It's more comfy, but eh, my recaros hold me just fine.

I really didnt like the STI's seats, I rather have my Recaros bolsters, it's actually holding me in than flopping around in the STI's.

I hopped in a few STIs I did not like their interiors seats seemed to normal.
Evo recaros are perfect Love the way they hold you.

The only complaint I have about the evo is the lack of trunk space.
But I can fit what ever I need in it anyways, and can always use the wifes 06 lancer
Tho Im tempted to buy her a ralliart sportback.

EVO ftw!

As far as stock speed, is it faster than the Evo? Did you go into boost? I've always wanted to drive an STI just for fun, lol.

I can't even remember what my car was like stock it wasn't like that for too long. But I definitely ran out the gears. The salesman was cool about it too. He just said I'm not paying any speeding tickets

the EVO interior is complete dog poo.. my sentra with 40k miles had a better looking/sounding interior. at 2k miles my EVO already has like 3 constant rattles.. i dont even think low end kia's have this problem.

but it doesn't mean that the evo isn't WELL worth the money

Ok maybe not, but he has issues. How can a guy have good enough luck and taste to date a lady with an Evo and then want an STI ( it's only one letter away from STD ).
Oh well, to each their own. Glad to hear driving a subie didn't change your mind, I love my Evo too!
This is is hilarious!!!!!But very true!!!!!hahaha If i had a girl who drove an Evo...My goodness I would love that...But i would let her drive mine...That would become an issue...she can drive hers she wants...lol

The only thing that i am jealous about is the gauge display on the sti's when u start them up. The needle bounces back and forth like a street bike. Always thought that was so cool. other then that i think everything else on the evo is better hands down.

I actually like the yellow on blue...granted it would look better with a gold glossy finish. Still i give her props for being original. To each his own, a lot of people hate on my red mud flaps, but then again, haterz gonn hate!

However, when I read about the performance advantage the Evo has, plus, it seems it is easier and cheaper to mod, I went with an Evo instead. I think you made the right choice and your car looks super good in Octane Blue.
