Except for the fact that many have had the top compression ring land failure occur on the piston(s). You takes your chance with that one. Not to mention the low rent plastic interior... but I digress ....

If you are going to get another car for the sole purpose of transporting clients, do you really want a ricer sports car? Dont get me wrong or meant disrespect but if a realtor pulls up in an evo or STI to drive me around with a loud exhaust and a bumpy harsh ride, that would lose credit with me really fast.
I rather just have them meet me or follow me in the Z to the showing. Either that or get a Benz c250 for the name badge at least. Just my .02

You get what you pay for. At the price point of the STi, you get a nice AWD drivetrain and a turbo engine. There isn't much room left for a fantastic interior. And it is still way nicer than an Evo.

This. It's a rally car FFS. If you're going to use it for the intended purpose most of that interior gets torn out and thrown away anyway.

Nobody buys a Subaru because of the luxurious interior.

Legacy owners might argue that point. But the main thrust of my point was the ring land problem, usually requiring a new engine if it breaks. And occurring in models through the 2015 model year. Look it up, Google or YouTube. Who would knowingly want to buy a car that can grenade its engine even while cruising down the road.... FFS. And who would want to buy an orphan model like the Evo, that got dropped at the end of the 2015 production run?

New STIs ringland isn't as common as it was in the previous gen, also we only hear stories about cars whose rings have went out, I know plenty guys out there who run STIs modded without any issues. However having ringland is something you must consider, I picked up my STI a month back and there is no comparison with the Z. Two different cars, more for your money with the Sti, and suspension is not even a question.

The Sti interior is far more quality than the Z though, so you're definitely wrong on that one.
