Just wondering, trying to decide if the evo is worth the money? If you colud start over would u purchase the evo or sti?

 

Most definitely the Evo for me, but I'm largely biased. I know a lot of people with STIs so not only do I not want to be a follower, I also know the pain they have to deal with. Plus I have just started modding my Evo so I basically am starting from scratch.

 

what bout as a dd. n financial perspective? How much less is a sti a year as far as maintenance?

 

That is really such a personalized question.

For one the STI and Evo are both great stock cars and left stock or with the absolute minimum in mods I probably would just take an STI over an Evo. However since the mod bug run feverishly through my veins I depend greatly on the Evo's easily accessible engine and ability to take bolt ons. Sure the STI takes bolts on well too but just try to install a set of cams... nightmare.

So here we are back at base one, not to imitate a commercial but only YOU can decide whats right for you.

 

Thats why im posting this. I dont know what to get? Im sure this thread is so played out but im a newbie trying to decide whats best for me. Justdfont want to purchase a used evo an have a lot of costly issues.

 

I am asking u experienced evo owners this because i see some others wish they purchased something else due to the maintenance n repairs of these cars.

 

i should have got a E55

 

What RoadSpike said - if you are going to keep it stock and are most concerned about it being a dd and financial perspectives (???) then you might want to go the STI route. If you want to start dropping mods on the batch then I would recommend the Evo.

Personally I like the Evo just fine as a dd - the interior is plain but a quick head unit swap goes a long way. Also, the Evo handles better stock, IMO (and most others) so that can mean a lot.

 

Prob just comes down to driving both. To what extent I am going to modify I dont know yet. We are all men never satisfied, n the other guys wife always looks better!

 

You'll be happy either which way you go (unless the other guy has a gun! ) so best of luck! Definitely take them both for a test drive and see which you like.

 

Honestly if I started over I definately would have driven my *** out to Ohio and bought a BR350

 

Starting over from scratch I would have left it stock. Modified is fun, but driving one stock is a better DD.

 

I would of gone straight to AMS for my build instead of going to Pruven Performance first thats my only regret.

 

subies are nice but if your going to mod it stay with a proven performer.4g63 all the way.

 

go with da EVO
