They are not comparing it. They all know the evo has more power/handles better than a base WRX. They just dont like evos, so they would rather see someone in a wrx, even if it isnt as much power.

True, but atleast they have opinions and not just mindless "nice kill" comments.

I've found alot of Subaru owners are delusional. They get alot of mis-information from friends, dealerships, and subaru enthusiast websites.

I agree, but the passion they have to call evos junk and POS's amazes me. I drove in modded wrx's and been a passenger. I am not gonna say its a POS, it lacks power but an all around ok car.

So true. I was at the Washington DC Auto Show and this dude was trying to tell ME ( a guy that has owned a 500+WHP evo) that it cost more money to make an evo faster than a STI I told him.

"DO SOME RESEARCH! THE EVO IS FASTER THAN THE STI FROM THE FACTORY!"

you guys know this debate has been going on since 2003 when the Evo and Sti were introduced in the US..........and being that they're direct competitors.....it's never going to end..............

So go to the Subi board and comment........and see the difference it makes.....lol

Where do these guys get their info? "Subaru AWD system is better?" Is that why they understeer like a VTEC civic and plow through the turns? At least on guy on there referenced some car reviews where the Evos "walk away from every STI on there."
