id go w/ a nice new ix myself... but that sti is also sweet.. i personally like the 04-05' sti's look more than the 06's... the evo's front end does look like a shark about to rip a whole in someones *** tho! lmao its straight meaannnn muggin jdm gangta ish.. you gotta love it..

 

exactly. Sti's can still look pretty good though, its got a certain "manga" to it for me-all the bulges etc.

 

i rarely post here for info..mostly just look to see how people get burned! Its almost like a contest....lol

 

I'd go with the EVO obviously. That's after a lot of my own research though. I don't think I've come acrosss a head to head where the STI wins out yet. You just have drive them both and get what you want man.

I have owned the VIII, an 05 Sti, and now the IX. The Evo is the one for me.

From your general attitude it seems that you're trying to figure out which car would be a better financial investment?? Well, if this is the case then I would have the say that both cars would be a waste of your money. They are both money pits. You have to really love cars and appreciate the heritage and potential of both vehicles to really enjoy them. Hell, I have been watching the WRC for over a decade and thats why I got into the whole rally platform. I was always a suby guy until I actually got to live with one. When I totalled it, it was a blessing in disguise!

 

Drive them both and you decide. You will be paying for it so get what you want

 

I've been lucky enough to own both an '04 and then an '06 STI.

Being a track junky, the Evo IX is just a step forward for my needs(it's not a daily driver, mainly a track/weekend racer). Like everything you may or may not have read already, the Evo is a very focused automobile bred for track use right out of the showroom. It also happens to come with a monster-of-a-turbo compared to the VF39 on the STI.

The STI's factory suspension calibration and bushing compliance make it the better daily driver. Thanks to it's tiny turbo and 2.5L of displacement, it's a torque monster, and has virtually a bulletproof transmission.

I would LOVE to own another Subaru one day, but only in a wagon/hatchback configuration to replace my Honda Civic wagon daily-driver and stay under the radar. Forester STI ftw!!!

 

an 06 evo will take much better to mods then the sti. and your on a evo forum so im guessin yuour kinda leanin towards one of them

 

if u need a car thats reliable and would last for more then 5,000 miles and still have a warranty then get the sti ... but if you want to have a fast car for only 5,000 miles then get the evo ... : ) case closed

 

does the evo break down after 5000 miles, is this what you are saying?

 

You're an idiot.

 

yup Mr is the only way!!

 

might as well just buy an enzo and get it over with

 

het steele so did you test drive either of these cars yet? I didnt read all of the posts but after a test drive the answer should be clear one way or the other.

 

STi FTW!
