EVO or STI?? opinions
 
Hey guys. I applied for a new job and if i get it i will be able to afford these cars. Which do you guys think is a better car? EVOLUTION 8 OR WRX STI? and WHY?

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
EVO. It may not have as big of #'s as the STI but the STI is an uncomfortable and ugly car. I've been in both and the EVO is so much better. It looks a lot better too. Thats MY OPINION so please don't flame me because of it.

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
i kinda agree. i like the way the EVO looks and you could easily make up that 15-20 hp difference. dont get me wrong, the STI is badass but its pricey isnt it? what is the differnce in cost?

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
I gotta go with sti, I think it looks a whole lot more rugged and I have to disagree with kvh, I think the seats are comfy. Only sucky thing is that radio isn't standard. Also you can adjust the power of the all wheel drive to the front and back, so it is actually possible to drift in it.

I want one :'( Buy it and come over to SoCali ;D

They're both ugly as ----.

Nothing like spending over $30,000 on a car that doesn't come with a radio or floormats ::)

STI, better HP and TQ. Who gives a ---- about a stereo if you got 300 HP to play with. I think the design of the car is awsome and the seats are perfect. The evo is a bit slow compaired to the STI and isnt near as fun.

STI :)

EVO is an overboosted ...

AgentMurdoc 02-18-2004 06:56 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
oh here's another reason to get an STI, if you get an Evo you won't be any better than the F&F ricers :-X

get a wrx used. lol. you can find em for cheap. or just get an 02-03 wrx. comes with radio. but the sti not havin a radio? who cares? not a big deal. floor mats? can we say plastic bags?

Ravage70 02-18-2004 07:57 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
use ur ass as a radio and toilet paper as ur mats :)
so basically ur driving a shitbox straight off the lot.

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
I would rather put my OWN stereo in the car if i wanted one, serriously every factoy radio i have had has been pulled out in less than 3 months. its not worht the increase in payment per month. BTW all the wiring is STILL there for hte stereo in the STI.

Boostoholic 02-18-2004 08:28 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
SRT-4 ;)

But between those two I would say the STI

willahlborn 02-18-2004 09:18 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
I'll have to go with the EVO here. I don't think the STi ie nearly as friendly to upgrades as the EVO is. Some computerized ---- or something. The EVO is cheaper... and more fun to drive. Who cares about 25 hp; you won't notice it IMO (especially if you're going from a Honda to and EVO ;))

draztik 02-18-2004 09:21 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
STi all the way, why? because its the best import ever made!!! its my dream car, i know some people probably are like, that a dream car.. thats sad! but you know what i love the look of the car and the sound of it.. sorry to say its my favorite car. :) TWO thumbs up for STi!!

MikeJ-2009 02-18-2004 10:04 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
I'd go with the STI, based on the fact that I think mitsubishi is the ford of imports. I wouldn't trust any of thier cars in my driveway. (god damn it, I don't even have a driveway! >:( :() ;)

dragon 02-18-2004 10:17 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
mitsubishi makes bad transmission. Most likely the sti would last longer.

I think the supra and skyline are the best imports ever made

J-SMITH69 02-18-2004 10:51 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
lol the skyline isnt really an import car since you cant really buy them in the states.

dragon 02-18-2004 10:56 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
there are limited #'s here that was shipped and were sold. Only limited #'s. you can actually buy some on ebay and other car site so thats makes them an import ;)

LSD Motorsports 02-18-2004 11:22 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
Hey my personal opinion is go with the sti.. even though i like the evos looks better. I just like the image of the sti and the fact that you can shift the drivetrain. Definitely just go drive the cars man, youll know which one wins your heart.

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
i thought that even tho the sti has more hp tq. the evo is still faster, 0-60 and in 1/4 mile times. and they both weigh in the same. if i had the money and would have to pic between the 2 it would probly be the evo, and it also has a 6 speed wich the sti dosent offer

I think you might have it backwards. I know for a fact that the STi comes with a 6 speed, and i'm pretty sure we in the US got the 5 speed Mitsu tranny for the EVO (more durable), and the rest of the world got the fragile 6 speed for the EVO.

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
I've never drove the STI, but I have had the chance to rape a few EVO8's... I'd probably go with the STI, just because it's rated with more power, but at the same time.. I really dont like flat 4's and the sound of subys really bother me. So, I dont think I could deal with that. The Evo8 inside is really "blah" and doesnt do much for me either..

I vote CRX w/ B-series turbo :P

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
yeah, 30k + for a car that your just going to want to add more money to anyways :P spend you about 7-10k on a nice ass hatch and spend the other 27k on engine, turbo, suspension, interior, etc., i think you'll be happier with the outcome ;D

THAT REVIEW IS A CROC OF ----.. I WISH I COULD MEET THIS FUCKEN BASTARD.. YOU CAN'T FLOOR THE FUCKEN EVO.. YOU'LL VOID THE WARRANTY. YOU CAN'T GO PAST 5K RPMS.. ONCE YOU HIT THE SERTAIN MILEAGE CRITERIA YOU HAVE TO BRING IT BACK FOR SOME FLASH TEST OR SOME ----.. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY CALL IT. BUT, THE EVO ----. NO.. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. THAT FUCKEN LIAR.

ChadsSI 02-19-2004 11:34 AM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
if i had to chose between them i would go with the sti. but i had 30k to spend on a car i would pick the S2000, but thats just my opinion.

dragon 02-19-2004 11:40 AM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
s2000 is slower than an sti and thats even more of a waste of money cuz the are around the same price and you would spend more money to make the s2000 faster.

rollmodel 02-19-2004 12:10 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
Save your money. Buy a civic and then give me the difference that you saved. Problem solved :)

Or, just buy an evo. The ones that come out of www.buschurracing.com they are baddass :) Thats a friend of mine, his business.

pagong 02-19-2004 12:19 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
I like the EVO but would get the STi.

Heres how I see it:
$30,000 + tax, license and paper work= looking at $35,000 out the door

say $5000 downpayment at lets say 5% APR if your credit is good.

You will be paying close to $400 a month for 60 months thats 5 years not incuding your insurance.

So basically you will be out close to $500 a month just to pay the car alone then plus your gas consumption.

That money can easily go anywhere you want it too. Choose wisely. I would rather buy a used WRX or even a 1st gen. Eclipse AWD then mod the hell out of it. BUt in the end you dont have any car payments to think about.

yeah right, more like close to 600 for the payment, not to mention, your not going to get insurance on that thing for 100 bucks a month at the least.

as far as that guys 'review', he kept referring to "my car", but never mentioned what kind of car he had, and wtf are "Schiltterbahn tickets"???

warren_teg 02-19-2004 12:29 PM

Re:EVO or STI?? opinions
 
if you take 30,000 and divide that by 60 months just the PRINCIPAL it's 500smackers.. NOW. if you have good credit you can prob scot about a 3.9 witha 760 becon becasue that car is a risk to banks. anyways 30000 plus a dealer fee of 800 and a tax of 6% you will finance 27,745. tax is only 1848.

your payment would be 509. w/5g's down
