Evo 9 SE or STI Limited

I can not choose which one to buy. Evo SE or STI Limited.

I am leaning toward Evo SE (because I never liked regular STI; but I like this Limited STI)

Best price I got for Evo SE is $32,400 (NYC Area); it is really hard to get good deal in East Coast.

For STI Limited $33,400

What to youguys think?

My last choice is to get Mazdaspeed3 (save money)

Thanks

To wing or not to wing; that is the question.

I think the better question is "to mod, or not to mod". The Evo is much more mod friendly than the STi. Otherwise, it's all up to personal choice.

I got an SE from South Coast for 29,999. I live on the east coast too, Va, and shipping was $900. So I would go with the SE. I don't really care for the STi and the Mazdaspeed3 is a wagon...

we are all going to say EVO because this is an EVO forum but just follow your heart and get the one you truly like! Goodluck with which ever you choose!

Your asking the question on a Evo forum, you know your answer before you asked.

You know, they say theres no such thing as a dumb question, but you my friend take the cake.


For the sake of your thread,

You have to options:

A. Buy the STi and have speed and luxury, because the STi interior makes the Evos look like a Kia.

B. Buy the Regular Evo MR, screw that SE crap, mod it and go fast!

I own one of the first Evo IX MR's sold in the US and I wouldent trade it for anything in terms of speed, handling, and looks.... but I cringe everytime I sit in the car, I soon floor it and forget all about. If i could own a STi limited I would buy it in a hot second.

Just my .02

A. Thats BS. I owned an STi for a year, the inteior is not luxury at all. Just because they wrapped the ****ty seats in leather and painted the plastic center console black doesnt change that

B. There are few regular MRs left. Only the SEs were made on the last production run

I would get a GSR SE. The MR 6-speed isnt nearly as stout as the 5-speed and most people swap out the bilsteins anyway

I wouldn't want the STI Limited because it has a sunroof. I say EVO SE or regular STI and just swap out the wing of you don't like it.

You're smoking something strong. The STI's interior is almost identical other than the fact it's blue and fuzzy. Neither the STI nor the EVO has what I'd call a classy interior.

I prefer the STI as a daily driver. If you are going to mod or track the car, then definitely go with the Evo.
