Hello all! Great site here. I currently own a 05 STi and I never thought I would say this but I am thinking about selling it and gettin a 06 MR. I test drove one a while ago and loved it. Everything felt so solid and crisp compared to my STi. Anyway I am going to do a lot of research about them before I jump into anything. Just wanted to say hello.

 

yey buy an evo

 

you live in utah just like me... what color is your sti i might have seen you before. oh and are you in slc or pc or what

 

I lived in Park City last year and now I just moved to Downtown SLC. My STi is Black. In PC it looked about stock. I just had springs, tbe and a front lip. Now its wingless with gunmetal wheels. I have seen a few evos but only met one guy at a car wash. I forget his name but he was very cool.

 

I agree the Evo handles alot better and the power potential is nearly the same on both cars.

 

^ +1

but i think the evo has more power potential

 

Trade it in.
You won't regret it.
got rid of '04 STi for ix mr.
Couldn't be happier.

 

trade it you wontwant your sti back

 

Welcome to the hood!

 

Had a modified STI too before coming over to the dark side.
Nearly didn't though as the dealer was a complete *rse when I tried to get a test drive.
My take is this;
It has more space inside, better handling and is less common (can surprise more people with it!)
There is one thing I do miss though, that amazing sound the flat four makes though a 'good' muffler...
Fair trade though for the handling alone!

 

Yes, the boxer rumble is something I really love. I would def. miss that. I am still on the wall though. I will probably keep my STi for the winter and then trade it in. I would like to do lots of research on EVOs before i make my purchase. Then I will be able to mod it right the first time. It is very hard though because I really love my STi.
