id chose the evo over the sti based on better looks because of the new look on the 06 wrx really killed the car on my opinion

I can assume that the evo IX will win the poll,since this is a SOCALEVO. ;)

the horrible new design of the STI is even making my bro (a WRX owner) like the EVO better

i went from an 05 STi to a 05 EVO .....best decision i could have made no regrets...the EVO is what its cracked up to be..the STi is not.

And hands down the new STi is so damn ugly compared to the new EVO......it should not even be a question in your mind.

I think I'm the only dude that likes the new looks of the 06 WRX's :D(A drop with some nice wheels) but I'd still pick an evo over an STi anyday.

If you plan to mod heavy go EVO....If you don't wanna mod much go STi. It's that simple.

Of course, '06 Evo IX :mitsu:

Get the 06 STi if you want to be unique (rare) since not a lot of people is getting it. I haven't seen one on the road yet, only new WRX and 05 or older STis.

I see STI's everywhere but rarely see an Evo. But still, Evo IX all the way! I fell in love with the IX's looks since the HKS Evo was sporting this front bumper in the SCC challenge last year. The new STI looks like ass which requires an immediate bumper replacement ($$$ right out of the box). Plus I love how the IX kicks in alot quicker and smoother than the VIII's.

Basically: IX > VIII > STI (any year)

I still would say that stock or not. Just give it a year, these IX's are going to be monsters! :D

The 9's are monster's already. Because they are pretty much almost the same as 8's.

ok well im acutally debating between the two. The tie breaker was that the STI stayed the same, its ugly, seems mods are hard to come by, it ugly, did i say its ugly?


For real though watch the Best Motoring video in the gallery of the IX vs the STi's. Pay close attention to the latter part of the video where they trrack the cars. The STi the we see here is in the back and trailing by a few seconds. :mitsu: victory

actually from a magazine i read, (forgot which one...) they finally come out in conclusion that Sti is their pick after tracked and timed both.
anyhow, pick ones that you like. their performance is SAME! (not talkign about the mods here)

thats funny because i researched every source i could find on both cars of the most recent designs and everytime the EVO has won. Car and Driver, Road and Track, Autoweek. They all have the EVO on top. i again reference the video forementioned as proof the cars arent really equal. Watch the video and youll see that the cars are close but not equal. If the race in the video lasted longer than 5 laps, say 6 or 7, the results would have been like this...1evo 2evo 3spec C 4sti. I came into my searching for a new car unbiased or if i was it was toward the STis cause 2 of my friends have them. Now based on what i can see of the EVOvsSTi (06 IX vs 06 STi) the EVO is better in almost every mechnical sense even if by a hair (on the street). The only place i think the STi has the EVO by far is on interior. The STi just has a much more driver oriented, comfortable interior. Be it the shift light with chime or the better more complex look, it just has a nicer inside. Put them head to head on the track and the EVO will come out on top.

i have to say that the STI interior sucked IMO compared to the EVO quality wise. The STI front dash did look "complex" and newer in styling, but the seat sucked. the material seemed to feel like it didn't fit the seats. the door panels really didn't look right. it looked like they wrapped some cloth around the raw interior and didn't take the time to fit it right. Don't get me wrong, the STI's engine feels great around town and zipping around plus, I am probably never going to push either car to it's limits so the performance to me is only bragging rights and an ego boost. I opted for the EVO because the interior is of better quality and the exterior lines seem to fit and look better for my eyes (plus they had the leather option which makes my wife OK with me spending 35K on a car). Just my $.02

the most recent issue of motor trend had the STi and the IX MR 1-2. the deciding factor was the price. but based on the comparison they imply that the IX MR would be the top dog if price wasn't a factor.

also, in the same article, they say (or imply, i forgot) that the gap between the two has narrowed significantly since the last time the STi and the MR went head to head...

IMO too bad the 2k6 STi's styling sucks. that front fascia... :uglystupid2:

Ok i went down to read the article and i found it. I find it funny that the EVO was winning years prior to this article and now that the evo has been upped with more power and its handling is still much better that it now falls second to a car that remains unchanged except for a few minor cosmetic changes that are more of a downfall. That article made no sense to be because it has the STi running a 13.0 1/4 and the drivetrain hasnt changed (from what i know). Even the video on this website doesnt have them running that fast granted it is in the rain but thats teh JDM cars so they gotta be a little better right? back to the article...the EVO handled WAY better for cars that are so close. The track times show it...imagine if the cars were head to head and it was a 20 lap race....the STI would be in the dust. I would love to see the settings that the tests took place in beyond the pictures that they gave casue i cant see the STI with almost the same power:weight ratio running faster times compared to previous tests when its basically the same car. :? :? :? :? :?

it was the price factor that gave the edge to the STi.

price-independent, the IX MR would win the comparison.
