Well with the death of the Evo line, I think its fair to expand to being a "turbo awd car guy."
With the WRC changes for 2017, I expect to see some pretty exciting homologation cars. Some of those will undoubtedly make it to US shores. Plus they inspire cars like the upcoming Hyundai i30N.

OP, if what you have is really evo fever, wait till it wears off so you don't even have to buy one.
If you really want one, however, you should test drive both in as stock as form as you can find them.
If you buy any of them used, have an additional $5,000 saved on the side just in case you need to make some quick repair of problems that did not show themselves before you bought the car. Other than that, I think you'll be happy with an 8,9, or a 10. This is especially true if this is your first AWD turbo car.
Watch for transfer case whine, rod knock, transmission grind and gear engagement issues. These are just a few issues that happen to be common in a car that was built to be beat to hell and back.

The new generation STi and Focus RS are two that Im looking forward to
If you still don't like any of them, you can always get a X. The prices would have gone done a bit more as well since you have waited a year.
