I have a friend that is extremely confused whether if he wants an EVO IX or STI (07).. Can anybody out there elaborate on why he should get an EVO instead of the STI.. he is so hardheaded to believe that the EVO IX is much better out the box than the STI.. OR.. Correct if me if im wrong.. Any persuasive suggestions for my friend?

Thanks..

each car is good in their own way, they both have flaws but honestly to look for durability in a car you're going to be adding mods, it's all up to the driver. You can't blame the car if the driver is dumb.

Have him drive both then have him pick. It's all personal preference because he's going to pick in the end anyway. He has to experience it for himself.

i agree have him drive both then hell know what he wants some how doubt hell pick the STI if he drives the Evo

i used to be all about the subi STI's i thot they were the shit till i actually drove both cars instantly fell in love with the evo plus in my opinion the evo looks way sexier

i own both. 06 sti / 06 evo mr. if its all looks, evo. performance, evo again lol. subie isnt that bad, it feels more like a race car due to the flat 4 motor while the stock evo feels smooth with boost. its up to him what he wants. i perfer the evo over the sti ;D

This is America. He's allowed to have his own opinion. If you're a good friend, help him get the car he wants, and stay out of making his mind up for him.

STi has the bullet proof tranny Evo has the bullet proof engine. I had an STi before the evo and drive aÂ* buddys IX on occasion. STi is more of a daily driver because its a litle more comfort but still has that kik because of all the tourque. Evo IX can make more power on the same bolt ons as the STi but you wont feel the kik as hard as the STi,tourque machine haha. I like how the IX looks over the STi anyday but STi is still sexy. Search STi forums those guys are really helpful aswell. Looks and power wise i would go Evo. If you want a lil more comfort and crazy ass tourque STi. Good luck.
