(General) Why are Evo's worth less than STI's ? I know this has been an ongoing debate for ages. But I would like to know what the Evo Community has to say about this. (Try not to be biased)

 

My guess is because Mitsubishi is less popular than Subaru. At least thats the case with where im from haha

 

true. haha

I think it's STIs has better build-in quality than the Evo's in some way, and slightly more reliable.

 

Evo is worth more than an STI in my area.. a lot more ppl have STI's. i see a lot less Evo's in Miami.. and plus i just went to KBB and my car is worth more than an STI with the same milage. I would think the more ppl that have the car the lower the value.. thats my opinion

 

I have seen the same here in upstate NY. I have owned and sold both, I got much more for the evo8 that I sold then my 05 sti with similar mileage and mods.

 

hmm i wouldn't say slightly more reliable.

Most people that get an STi or Evo don't keep it stock. Evo's have tranny issues and STi's have pretty bad pistons/rods, thus to get anywhere near 400whp, they need forged internals; which is quite the other way around for Evo's....

 

I think it varies in the region. Around here, there are about 8 evos that I know about and I've seen maybe 20 WRXs/STis around here. They're both good cars IMO.

 

I just went on KBB.com and checked for each of these cars 2006 with 60,000 miles, private party value:
Evo IX - $19,585
Evo IX MR - $21,060
WRX STI - $19,570

So it looks like in my area Evo are worth slightly more

 

Aside from a service bulletin covering the syncros in 03-04 cars, which "problems," exactly, are you talking about?

 

The driver problem

 

 

The transfer case's notorious problem of having the death whine, the ACD pump failures, the tranny's dying relatively fast.

I mean sure, if its well kept and not beaten to death everyday its going to last longer but its not a secret to anyone that Evo's are known to have drivetrain problems.

 

Wait, cars that are maintained and aren't beaten to death will last longer, but Evos are known to have drivetrain problems? Known to whom? Certainly not to the folks who own and drive these cars. You've made similar claims before, all the while never having owned an Evolution. Please stop furthering this nonsense.

 

Agreed. Please Stop. First off 03-04 evos you mention do not even have ACD USDM.

Death Wine, tranny's dying fast. How about 7k rpm clutch dumps, bad drivers, and improper drivetrain fluids and maintenance.

People are so quick to blame the car. My god

 

i think STI are garbage imo. and everyone wears then ken block sti shirts and all love him. ken block = STI $ ^
