MIT Evolution 8 VS STI?

Question

I want to buy an Evo 8, however i was told that the Evo has a rough tranny and the shifting is just horrible. My friend suggested that I get an 2005 Impreza STI. The STI is more reliable and dependable. Plus the STI will last twice as long, better then the EVO. However I still think I should get an EVO, But I want a car that will last. what's your suggestion.

Answer 1

Go with the Evo and become an EVOMAN!  look around for a well maintained Evo 8 not an abused one from young racer owner.  Any car or the Evo will last as long as you want if you really take great care of it. never buy a used Suby,especially the STi, mostly abused by those who raced anyone that didn't have the STi badge on their cars.

Answer 2

Well the STi is more reliable, but the evo 8 will stand out more, yes, the STi is a cool car but the evo is rather rare and turns heads. They have similar power, weight, and handle well(the subaru handles better.) But the STi is known to last longer, all subarus are. They're both awesome cars, so unless you're hooked on the evo, the STi is a better choice.
