I own both, you have to decide what will be the primary use of the vehicle. If you will mod it out and occasionally drive it the Evo is for me but if you will drive it daily and keep it stock the STI is much more comfortable and easier to drive with a 2.5L motor.

I've owned both a IX and a X, plus my wife has a WRX. X is the easy choice.

Story is that the crush ring on the drain plug was bad and the place who changed the oil reused it anyway, then the car sat for like 3 months and leaked most/all the oil out and the owner didn't realize it. So... maybe it was relatively reliable... then again, 420, and now 475/492 awhp isn't tooo crazy. Respectable, by all means, but not insane.
Mind you that I personally had over 450 whp on a completely stock motor, parts in my sig, and trans for over a year and put 10k+ miles on it every year before i finally demodded and sold it.

The only bad thing that ever happened was I lost the crank angle sensor, purely my fault for not tightening down the main pulley. Really if i had to list my top annoyance it would have been blowing off an IC pipe.
