After research I found it was a much better vehicle in terms of reliability , strength and performance.
The fact that sti and wrx's are 'fully Sikh' with chromie wheels every where in Australia was also a turn off

Got my evo because always been one of my dream cars, and the fact that I have many friends are subaru owners. Also I see everywhere I go evo are more exclusive.

Because I wanted a fun car to drive. STIs are just too boring for me. I wanted something fast, and I see STIs everywhere I go in my area. As far as I know there are only 4 or 5 evos in my area. There are at least 12-20 STIs/WRXs

You say you love your car, Evo/STi discussions aren't exactly uncommon - you can read them here for at least a day straight - so where are we going with this?

Like most others I wanted something simpler to work on. I've owned 4 dsm's before my evo so it just felt like a newer one.

I almost bought an STi because it was seemingly impossible at the time to land a clean unmolested Evo in my price range. Then a JDM Evo VII appeared for sale out of the blue, and well the rest is history.

Haha, it's fun to see other people's reasons for choosing EVO over STI. For me, the EVO has been my dream car (besides the R34 Skyline) since I got into cars. My choice was reinforced once I learned how much effort needs to be put in to make 400+ hp on each car. Nuff said

Because I have already owned an STI and wanted something different. I like both cars, but the evo makes more power, is easier to work on, and IMO has a more comfortable ride. The stock STI suspension is horrid for daily driving unless you like bouncing up and down in your seat.

My wife owns an STi now so its the best of both worlds in the house. Husband vs Wife, Woman vs Man, Jamaican vs Filipina, USA vs Canada, Tall vs Short, Evo vs STi, LOL.

Owned a bunch of the forum "darlings", and its by far the most fun. Evo>S2K>STI>MS3
