The EVO is a much better looking car in my opinion. I'm surprised you didn't care if you got the EVO or sti, it all came down to about a grand.

Given that selling my NISMO was a compromise, I was willing to initially look at the more convenient vehicle. The standard cold weather package and fold-down rear seats of the STI are more practical. That said, had I actually purchased the STI it would have been a mistake. I test drove it first. After I drove the Evo X I realized the mistake that would have been the STI.

So, other than the better pricing and finance rates, what else about the Evo did you like more compared to the STi (from the test drive)?

Most everything related to handling felt tighter and more responsive. Turbo lag on the Evo X is less pronounced as well. The seats on the STI are a tad shorter up top too. I don't know how the clutch is in the Evo X GSR, but I didn't like the STI clutch at all compared to the my old NISMO 370Z. Just go ride in both and you'll see.

the evo feels like a really tight driving machine, but that's really all it is. a very mechanical tool. i didn't feel any connection when i drove the car. and the interior of the WRX, to me, is a little better.

subjective viewpoint but to each his own!
