This question again!?!?

The evo in my opinion; The evo is more of an elegant off road racer, and the Subaru is a bulky off road bully. Both practically the same on paper but my style of driving prefers the evo, but that’s just me

I would have to say Evo VIII. It looks alot better and its just overall better. I would take the Evo VIII MR. More horse, no radio, ?no rear seats???(not sure about that)no rear wing and lower sticker price.

Subaru, I'm all for the Evo, but the Subaru *licking smiley*. Very nice styling, amazing engine, to me it can't get much better. Nice price too. Evo 8 is graded down imo for the engine, should also have 300 at least, and teh styling.....mehhh....

I believe the one you're refering to is the RS
MR still retains comfort items from the info I have, it does however have a aluminum roof panel which in combination with other weight saving methods have shaved off 250 something pounds resulting in 4.3 second 0-60 second times (estimate, with realistic times near high 4s like 4.7 or 8) and .98gs on the skidpad

Actually this STi vs Evo thing has gotten a bit old, ... even for me and im obsessed with those 2 cars. The fact is if u can live with one you can live with the other, and since you dont have the money to buy one newayz it really doesnt matter what we say.

I'd say the Evo because it's engine sluts the Sti's flat 4 when it comes to potential. With the 6-8 grand you save on buying an Evo, you can make it run 11's.

Mitsubishi does suck, most jap cars that break down are Nissans or MItsubishi.

All I'm trying to say is that Sti is better because the boxed engine has a low center of gravity. Subaru is also over engineered, so it would be better, not to mention that most of them comes with turbos. Evo is alright, it's more powerful than the sti but the sti has better handling. But I have to admit, the evo is Mitsubishi's only decent car.
