um... I guess most people on rs likes sti more, not much vids of evo's so far....

hk20000 12-22-2009 12:32 PM

the problem with EVO for me is that.....let's not talk about the EVOX, but every gen EVO before that had a subpar interior compared to the STi equivalent.

Especially Evo456 is super econo-interior....

yes a bit more specific on year would make different arguments

but the general consensus is:
engine: EVO > STI
drivetrain: EVO > STI
Exterior: STI > EVO
Interior: STI > EVO

so in a nut shell, mechanically EVO is better, ergonomics wise, STI is better

deep inside me is a EVO fan

Im a evo fan but I have to say the boxter engine in a STI is better engine overall (stock for stock) and I cant say much on a STI interior as I've seen it only once along time ago, but exterior? I've always perfered the Evo body style (evo 7-9).

EVO for me :)

Personally, I love the sound of the boxer engine and I love the practicality of the new hatchback STI! If Subaru offered 0% financing... I probably wouldn't be driving a Mitsu right now :lol

stock for stock the subaru EJ2X7 engines MAY seem better, but once u start throwing mods into it, the evo's 4G63 is far more superior than the EJ2X7.

I love the boxer rumble....:D

VSBB6 12-22-2009 07:52 PM

You can't really compare them directly now, as the new STi is quite a bit cheaper in price than Evo nowadays.

$_$ 12-22-2009 08:34 PM

in the west i'd buy EVO

in the east i'd buy STI

I know that, EVO is easy and reliable modded power (til a certain point). But as i said stock for stock :P. Overall EVO is better I believe.

Oh also, I was reading a while back that the Subies have beaten the Evo around the tusukuba track in japan every generation except for the evo 8 generation. But the subie beat it by very little (like .02 or less)

yup...too bad USDM STi is different fro JDM ones...JDM STI's turbo spools faster and has faster steering ratio (steering bracket?), better tires and amd better seats (Recaro), so in comparsion the USDM version is teh suck. JDM evo is better then USDM evo, but not the same margin as jdm sti vs usdm sti. The jdm evo has a better turbo...spools faster, and I think that is it.

tires r the same i believe, its the bridgestone RE070 for both JDM and USDM, and they dont suck at all. i might be wrong, but i believe the normal jdm sti has the same steering rack as USDM sti, its the special version stis that get a faster steering rack, and lastly the faster spooling turbo is because of twinscroll headers used, but instead, USDM gets the unequal length header which gives that distinctive boxer rumble.

!Shuya80 12-23-2009 11:24 PM

although I do prefer an STI more then an evo. I'll go with sti for street and evo for track.

put ken block in an EVO and see what happens ;)

for example, what did rys millen break records in up pikes peak this year? Think about that before posting pro videos. Cuz you all hate to admit it.


anyways, My votes with the EVO, too bad they're soo pricey up here.

No.

The standard versions are the same ones we get here. Difference being we get the 2.5, and they get the 2.0 for the STi. They also get the Spec C which has all the awesome goodies that we don't get here.
