So talk me into one of these - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

disturbedfan121 · 06-13-2009, 09:25 PM

Ok guys so heres the deal. As some as you know i have my car listed up for sale, but so far I'm not having any luck lol. I'm gonna have to part the car out and I'm gonna have some cash for a nice down payment. So here's what i need to be talked into either one.......

If you had the choice to buy an 05 EVO or an 05 STI, which would you get? For Arguments sake both have similar mileage, both are stock, and both are the same price.

At the moment I'm leaning towards STI, RWD bias AWD, nicer interior (lil to much blue tho lol), looks a lil more aggressive to me.

I like both alot. I'd like to hear pros and cons about both from owners, and anyone that feels like chipping in.

Subie just for the sound alone

**auk113** · 06-13-2009, 09:46 PM

i myself always loved evos. there is nothing like the look of a drooped evo with proper wheels.

mcperson2k · 06-13-2009, 09:53 PM

STI definitely. Better looking... Higher quality car all around in my opinion.

**Got Insulin?** · 06-13-2009, 10:12 PM

4g63.....

bolksey85 · 06-13-2009, 10:31 PM

Both have ups and downs. The Evo can make way more power for the same given amount of cash but looks (subjective) the STi wins. Subaru has DCCD and a 6spd where you have to find an MR to get the 6spd in the Mitsu. Both have the suspension and brakes to back it all up. It'll come down to more your personal choice because both are equal or damn close on everything.

den9 · 06-13-2009, 10:34 PM

drive both, take whatever one that is in better condition

quicksilver9 · 06-13-2009, 10:35 PM

EVO better car all way around

disturbedfan121 · 06-13-2009, 10:43 PM

lol
quicksilver- what would you say the worst part about the evo is......I wanna hear honest truths

mechstar16 · 06-14-2009, 03:22 AM

Tough decision really. both are quite the same in many aspects to what many car lovers like us look into. yet i would prefer the sti over the evo. to me, when i see evo's now'a days in my mind i say "oh... another evo" when i rarely see an sti I think "wow, an sti." maybe its just because where i live, i see too many evos.

so my vote for the sti

disturbedfan121 · 06-14-2009, 03:53 AM

Mech- kinda how im feeling lol tons of wrx's by me. But only like 2 or 3 sti's. But its the same with evo's.

So far general consensus is get an sti.....which is where I was leaning in the 1st place.

99SL2_Modder · 06-14-2009, 04:18 AM

I believe a Subaru can actually make a U-turn though.

I thought my stock turning radius was bad until I drove an Evo. Was like trying to make a u-turn in an aircraft carrier.

sean3 · 06-14-2009, 05:49 AM

STi is probably going to be more reliable and they sound better. Thats about it. The evo mods better and is a better looking and performing car.

stover · 06-14-2009, 07:06 AM

sti for reliability, i dont know if its just the people i know but everyone i have talked to has said their evo broke down at some point or another, one guy it happened to multiple times, but ive talked with many people and rarely do they mention their sti breaks down

frosti108 · 06-14-2009, 08:40 AM

is it possible that along with the 4g63 came the stigma of the DSMs?

i dont know man, they are both nice fast light econoboxes ...thats how they feel to me when driving atleast haha

BlkWhtTSI · 06-14-2009, 09:03 AM

EVO plain and simple, theres sti evo shootout every year, every year a evo wins. There are many Evos in the 9s 10s etc. i havent seen many sti in the 10s. plus Evos look a lot better IMO. never rode in either car, my advice test drive both cars and decide for yourself.

97TurboDSM · 06-14-2009, 09:58 AM

i'd prolly get an sti. never driven an evo though.

OutToWinPAHC · 06-14-2009, 10:36 AM

Iv been in both and there is more room in the STI so I like that aspect, and once again the lud dud sound

russiankid · 06-14-2009, 10:38 AM

Some of you are saying that the STi sounds better so get that. If he really is going to spend the money on a car for the way it sounds, then something is wrong.

The Captain · 06-14-2009, 10:49 AM

I just like the Evos better. I honestly think they win in the looks.
