comparing models I would stick with subaru until evo 7,8 and 9 then it becomes personal preference (turbo lag, ride comfort, performance are all factors). I would take an evo 10 over a 2010-2012 wrx Sti any day, sadly. The AWD system is a lot better in my opinion with that model. Although I like the look of the wide body Sti's more than the evo X
