Evo or Sti

[Underhill]

I'm selling my eclipse, planning on getting an Evo or an Sti. What do you guys think as far as performance, cost, looks. I'm guessing seeing as were on a Mitsubishi sight, it might lean to the Evo, but let's hear some thoughts.

Depends what the car will be used for and what you want it to do for you. Both are great cars, but the STi will be a little softer for your daily comfort while the EVO is a little more hardcore for racing. As a year-round daily I'd get the STi since it has a nicer interior and is more comfortable, but if it were to be my second car (i.e. summer/fun/weekend car) then I'd go for the EVO. Best way to find out is to test-drive them both back-to-back.

It's going to be a daily driver, with a few weekend trips to the track. I plan on building it some, as money becomes available. I just had a baby a few months ago, and so the GSX must go.

I agree with S2kracka with the STi being more of a better DD. But the Evo tells you to buy it... or it will kill you in your sleep.
Way too much fun to drive compared to the STi IMO.

I just need someone to buy my GSX now, someone is comming to look at it tonight. The Boss said I have to sell it before I can buy anything else.:confused: :confused: :confused:

The Evo has the easy potential. Even with less displacement the Evo beats the STi mod for mod. And when you want to try to rev an STi higher than stock for a big turbo, you will spend a fortune trying to get the heads to take any RPMs.

yeah, I've heard that, I like the looks of the interior of the Sti better, I guess I could do some upgrading to an Evo's. The prices I've seen are better on the Evo.

Sti vs. Evo. I drove them both, I liked the Evo 50x more. Go drive one, then you will make your mind up by yourself. Downside of the Evo, the clutch goes quickly if you drag race it. Clutches are no fun to do, but I am sure it isn't fun to do a STi clutch either.

Honestly, I used to be a fan of the STI's. I've changed my mind. You see way too many of them. Just on looks alone I'd go with the Evo. I guess if you take the wing off the STI...

Also, I think the Evo has a little more room inside, which is great for a family car.

I would expect more reliability out of the Subie though...

Downside of the Evo, the clutch goes quickly if you drag race it.Yes, Evo's love to eat clutches for breakfast, then a snack, then lunch, 4 more snacks, dinnner and then 5 or 6 thousand more late night snacks.

And it all depends on how you drive it though. If you plan on goin to the track once in a while always have a spare clutch in hand after a few trips. I've seen Evos reduce clutches to meer dog shit in like 3-5k miles.http://dsmstyle.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif
