I plan on buying an STi sometime next year. I first thought about an Evo, but I just don;t like the drivetrain layout of them. There's something about a transverse engine with awd that just doesn't seem right. I think it adds alot of extra weight just to strengthen everything enough to be reliable. Personally, I could care less about 1/4 mile times or 0-60 times. Both cars are fast. I think the STi is more suited for daily driving as well. It's a little more comfortable from what the magazines have said. Styling depends on who's looking at the car. Personally I love the looks of the STi. It's clean and aggressive. I'm not a huge fan of the wing and the hood scoop, but at least both are functional. The Evo looks cool, but at the same time it looks kind of goofy too. I just don't like the big triangle mitsubishi logo in the middle of the grill. I agree with everyone else though, in that you should buy what works best for you.
