I love the STI, i like the look and the feel of it, but i do know that a stock evo will kick its @ss..

im partially biased to subarus! but i love EVO'S!!!!!! there great cars and and a good competition to the STi's

i think they both have thier pros and cons. im not gonna list all of them but ill list the ones that come off the top of my head

EVO pros: Quicker Steering Rack, Cast Iron Block (responds easier to power mods), recaro seats from factory....

EVO cons: cheap interior, not as refined, too harsh a ride for a daily driver (well not for me,....for some i have spoken to)


STi Pros: Boxer Rumble thanks to the ej25(usdm) or ej20(JDM), DCCD, more refined interior, BBS rims from factory, responds well to suspension mods (from my expierence i could be wrong)

STi cons: 04's had no radios, USDM seats were designed for the non skinny people, power mods are harder to achieve due to the aluminum block,



my pet peeve about how these cars are treated is when they are constantly drag raced and how some say they are overratted because there slow. IMO these cars were designed for tracks and Canyons were you can feel the g's on every turn!!!

04's had no radio/cd player?

yeah they were an option but the most dealers added it before they sold it and put it on the sticker price. at least that was my expierence when i was first looking.

Gonna have to vote for the STi!

i love the evo

Neither. WRX wagon FTW!!! Oh wait mine's not stock.

Honestly they both have their +'s and -'s, I have owned 2 subaru's so I would go for a 3rd and then maybe an Evo for fun.

Voted EVO :)

both great cars, but if refinement is what ur looking for buy an M3, the evo outshines the sti in performance and handling and thats why i bought one

EVO Owner +1 :)

EVO +1....i would trade my EVO 8 for a IX thought....or maybe i should wait for the X..hahah

i loveee da ebooo

I thought the EVO was faster in the straights? I saw a topgear vid where they drag raced a EVO vs STi vs Audi at the same time and the EVO beat them by ATLEAST 8 car lengths. It was an MR Edition though...but the WRX was an STi..

my WRX beat an evo MR.. granted from a 70mph roll.. and only 2 of the 5 times.. by half a car length.. BUT none the less. haha

Basically this pole is going to tell us how many Evo owners and how many STi owners we have.. been beaten to death! haha each side as their arguments... mod one or the other.. which is what most people will do with either of these cars.. and the whole scenario changes each time.

Oh well i voted.. be the only time i respond to this thread :)

Ive seen a few subaru owners vote EVO so far..

If your talking about what I think your talking about. It was the Evolution 8 MR FQ400 package that is available in Europe and had 400HP. That is why the Evo>STI.

I chose the Evolution due to my own opinion.

The STi. I love the DCCD and the handling.

Not to be biased, but Subaru is considerend # 2 in the biz....of AWD that is.
