WRX's got uglier and uglier after the GC8. Bugeye GDB is okay, and blobeye GDB is okay. I cant stand hawkeye GDB or newer.
Anyway, bought an Evo after having my S2K for about 4 months. Very stupid. Prefer my S over it.
But also may be getting rid of my S for reasons, namely I don't want to continue to own/insure 3 cars. The Evo regardless if I like my S better, is here to stay for the long. My 3rd car is a 96 Civic, with a swap and 119K miles. Selling Civic, and swap S2K for a reasonably newer daily. I wont daily an Evo and I wont daily an S.

So I found a 2016 WRX used with 5k miles at a local dealer and test drove it today. I really liked it but not as much as the 2012 Sti. I felt the torque hit at a lower RPM but then it was kind of flat above 4k rpm or so. The Sti had a lot more midrange punch and continued to build. The steering wheel in the new WRX is nicer as is the rest of the interior, but thats not a big deal to me. The handling was very good and honestly it was a great daily driver but its no S2000. I would have to own both the WRX and S2000.

I'm so torn man. I'm coming for a 350whp 327ft tq ep3. I bought my s2k which is a fun car. But the lack of tq. And I don't want to get into heavy modding again. I wanted an evo. Intake catback exhaust tp and tune and be done. I would love a 2005 evo but all the ones here go for so much and their almost all modded.

I came from a faster turbo Nissan to a S2000. I have never missed the Nissan that I owned for 5 years. I am still in love with the S2000 as much as...or more than I was... when I bought it 10 years ago.

get turbo kit with a small turbo if you like the stock evo type pull.
[edit: wasnt in sig apparently]
The only positive is how much EVERYBODY ELSE loves them. I pulled up to a show/meet when this was taken, shit hasnt been washed in months, yet people still took pics. Because Evo. I was surprised when I saw some pics after the event.

Nice car. There's a 2015 sti in my area. 21k miles white. The dealer keeps dropping the price. It's sitting at 31k right now. So tempted
