Ive done my homework now it time to decide.ive driven both sti and mr evo there so close it only a matter of comfort.i had lower back surgery the evo feels hyper sesitive and acceleration is a little more brisk through rpm.the sti is a little more comfortable and acceleration is smoother so here is the Q/A will the evo smooth out over time as im to understand or is it going to feel harsh forever?please respond any imput will help! remember I had major back surgery not sure what kind of compleat pain relief ill see after im healed thanks!!makin my decision in a week about my purchase.

 

okok, i will tell u that the evo isn't known for its amazing comfort/looks (although some would disagree) but for performance (which it delivers); in your case health might be more important so you may want to get the sti for its more comfy interior and as you say smoother acceleration.

you also may want to seriously consider getting more of a luxury car that doesn't compromise performance, the 07 speed3's are nice

 

Dude, I have a total fusion of the L4-L5...and drive the MR. I luv the recaros, I've sat in many various seats and cars But I luv the way the EvoMR holds my back in place. As a person that knows what you're going thru get the MR. So you haven't bought the Evo yet.....settlement coming? Do your research, get the best price and the color you want....The MR has the Bilstein struts which are a tad bit softer than the Base Evos....I'm totally satisfied with my Purchase and ownership....I was going to buy the Subaru, but didnt like it at all. The Evo can obtain insane power easier IMHO...overall better power, handling, and great daily driver...any questions just ask...

 

Not to Evo.
I would just wait for the new 2008 STi.

 

Evo is more stiffer that is for sure the ride on the sti is more comfy, i was in the same debate like you STI or EVO,, after my research i decided on the EVO ix and i stand on it i do not regret it the EVO ix is the man,, specially if you are moding the Evo is so mod friendly ,, suby only give you 36k warranty Mitsu give you 100,000k whoaaa you cant' beat that ..

Recaro seats on the Evo give me a break you wont get the lumbar confort that recaro gives you on the evo

subie tranny is weak at 1st and 2nd gear at least in the 2006 model sti

ask any guy that knows about cars and they will tell you Evo all the way, at least the guys that know what they are talking about

 

not all true, not all guy will say Evo. but since he's asking "Evo or Not to Evo" from an EVO FORUM...of course, we'll all say "go with the Evo". i hope, he gets that by now. and in case he ask for the comparison of the two, he'll more likely to recieve replies such as "search" or "there have been a million thread about this."

 

why is this in the lancer forum

 

Because this is his first post....

 

if u got a major back surgery.... i think u shouldnt go for evo or sti just get a lexus or something

 

Sti for your needs... it's a much easier car to live with because it's less raw.

 

well thanks for all the imput everyone.turbochargedbeast S1 through L4 for me im 7 weeks out of surgury doin well.Im not geting anything thats not awd I live in reno nv so any spotrs car i buy has to be awd because its goin to be my primary car no option of putting it away for winter!well its all up to the dealer and how much there willing to accept 30k and trade in, evo is loaded sti is not so its in there hands any way I look at it both are worth every penny im hopeing the evo guys give in I realy like graphite grey with all the goodies yall have great weekend let yall know the out come.

 

but it has nothing to do with lancers.

 

^^^ Evos are pretty much lancers, atleast for new evo owners !!!
