Keep your shirt on Saki. Yes, I did read the article this morning. I never said the STI is a bad car. I was just wondering if you agree with the car always coming in second to the EVO in just about every comparison. I came to the conclusion that the STI isnt bad. The EVO X is just that damn good.
The article also said, " you drive a Mitsubishi Evo and wonder why the Subaru STI's chassis quivers and why its steering isn't sharper. There's less understeer in the Evo and a more pronounced willingness to change direction. Where the STI punches with the substance of a middleweight, the Evo drives like a lithe flyweight."

But again, you are dropping magazine comparisons using Edmunds. Haven

I have read most articles about the STi since I was pondering getting one, still am.
However most say it's more dull or trying to be main stream whch is not what exactly I am after.
I don't want an AWD Camry (not saying the STi is a Camry but reviews point to being in that direction).
It's not cheap $40K is a fair bit of money. I know it's probably cheaper real world, but it's as close to a "MUST MOD" car as I can think of.
Mayhapse the EVO X is not a bad car after all.
Will the EVO X will offer a hatch option?
