I happen to love the sound of a Briggs opposed or even a Vanguard ohv twin. Cut the mufflers off and put a tuned pipe exhaust and you have a sound that goes PAP PAP... PAP PAP... PAP PAP... at idle and a growl when you get the rpms up. Combine with a racing mower that easily does 45-50mph on dirt with a high center of gravity and you have something very sexy.

subaru is possibly the safest awd car, and their susp is soft enough to keep poor roads from disrupting open drinks.

that and the fact that the wrx turbo piping is a bigger pain in the ***, next to #3 injector when it comes to removal.

i forget where i was going with this. either way, subaru is more refined, yet more docile, whereas the evo is less refined, yet more capable to balance it out. can't win em all, unless you have a 600hp awd ls powered civic hatch with .01 coefficient of drag, and capable of clawing around a corner with 2g+ of lateral force.
