World's most asked question: Evo or STi?

Ok maybe not world's... I'm pretty much going to trade in my Audi S5 for a evo x or sti, and want to know what the rest of yall think? I've owned subaru's and worked on a few of them too... so it's kinda like my comfort zone, but the evo x is so hot... so hard decision...

There are so many ways to answer this question, and none of them are right or wrong. Personally, I would keep the S5

STi for the interior. But I think going from an S5 to either of them is a downgrade.

Evo. Your obviously looking to go fast.

4B11 is better at it than whatever EJ257 derivative they are using now.

I'd stick with my roots and get the Evo especially after hearing all the good things about them, but the look of the new Sti is really growing on me. My knowledge on them is limited though and basing off what i know about subarus i would still probably end up buying the evoX. Before buying i'd def do more research on the Sti though, then i would test drive both and really make my decision.

if this is the world's most asked question, logic should dictate that you could easily use the search function either on this site, or google.com, to find your answers

lol I'm just looking for what other people think, do I really want to go back to subaru's boxer engine or do I want to go with evo...

igo4bmx: it's a 2008, fully loaded, 15k miles... I dunno how much but trade in value is 50k but I'd have to take wheels, coils, exhaust and system out of it and sell them seperately... it's my show car

here's some pics...

The Evo handles better. The interior is crap, the trunk space is laughable, and the paint quality is sub par (but it's probably the same as the STi). Besides that it's a great car.

yay grey plastic and cloth interiors!
the sti at least looks decent inside.

cant really comment on the paint. havent heard complaints on it like the sti's though..
why is everyone looking for a trunk to put 5 dead bodys in the back of a sport saloon?
cant find handling specs(since ive never driven either of them)
