I had an 06 STI and now a 06 MR both are and we're essentially a simple stage 2. Turboback and tune.

STI is a great powerful and grunty daily, very comfy for what it is and still handled great. Honestly idk what people are talking about thoug.? STI are reliable and much less expensive to fix and maintain. Body and engine parts are swarming due to the amount there are. But honestly that also a downfall. Too many.. To many young punk owners which made the Subaru community non elite and suck.

Evo... Terrible daily in my opinion. That's why it's a garage queen now. For the similar mods. Makes a significant amount more power. Just a much more raw monster even with the 2.0. Downside is the extreme cost of maintenance and parts. Like acd pump...? Ridiculous. Timing needs to be done more often. And body parts are near impossible to locate or even if so. The price is extreme. The evo overall seems more fragile to me.

I'd honestly take either of the two. If I had to daily. I may take the STI. But the evo is quite a monster and handles ungodly good

You don't see many Evo's on the road, I see at least 2-3 STI's while driving less than 10 minutes.
