2005 sti for life!
Say whu? Calling the Evo a boy racer car then heralding the STi as if it looks better. While looks are subjective, the STi's up to the most recent version look like $hit. Great car, fugly as hell. Evo's have always been better looking IMO.

That aside, the Evo is far from a downgrade. It's a fantastic car and has been a dominant car on the track over the years for a reason. Of all the cars I've owned, my Evo 8 had the best steering feedback and confidence inspiring handling. It was very easy to drive hard and could be modded very easily with little money. None of this is a reason the OP is giving for the change and I wouldn't trade mine for an Evo being in SoCal. But I loved AWD for those crappy days of weather. So being in Ohio, I see this as a smart move. Other than losing your a$$ financially.

Congrats on the Evo. You will have a blast in it.

Lookwise I love both new Evo and Sti(hatch not sedan). I used to fight myself so bad on getting an evo x or new sti. Still not sure. So I got Xttera instead for a completely different purpose. But I know in the future, this Evo or Sti thing will come back to me again. Lol.

I had an Evo 8 too and I have to agree with the steering feed back and handling, honestly it felt better than my 2012 z in handling and steering feedback. The z is just a better overall car

Definitely as a DD, overall quality, overall power, handling and daily liveability. The Z has way more advantages. As a sports car. It just all depends on what you like to do as a sport in your car.
