Not disputing what they are saying, more to the point by a car because you like it not because it's a second or two a lap quicker then the other option.

Unless you're competing for wins it's rather irrelevant which is faster.

Drive and Evo if you like it more then an Sti it's simple, if you don't buy the car you like more.

I fit comfortably in my Sti and I'm not a small human.

It's got to come down to which one puts the biggest smile on your face and for what reason you want to buy it I suppose. I personally wouldn't touch an Evo for a daily, but it's probably great on the track...

Why don't we all admit the truth, the main reason you buy a wrx over an evo is purely because you can't afford the evo......

2001 bugeye..... $9000
2001 evo 7 ........$20k+

There's idiots on car sales who want 35-40,000 for a 2006 Evo, I could get a new Sti for that!

Wow, lotsa opinions all relevant and mostly correct. From inspection of said evo I can say overall build quality is behind subaru but this particular EVO felt very fast and I felt comfortable with it straight away.

I do track days and am quite handy behind the wheel. My g/f and I are quite fit so getting in and out is no problem and the dog can still go in the back when required
