As far as handling, I also do not agree. Every car magazine review agrees with me, the EVO handles better, with no understeer. The STi plows.



The EVO's hood isn't an intake and I wouldn't call it tasteful. The EVO handles better UNLESS YOU push the STi. The EVO feels a lot more stable and that's why many mag drivers get better lap times from it. While the STi doesn't feel real stable it can be pushed to have better times than the EVO even though it may feel a lot more comfortable doing it in the EVO.



Have you driven these cars?? If you had you would realize that what you just said is a load of crap. The fact is the STi understeers way more than the EVO...That, my friend, does not equate to fast lap times. When an understeering car is pushed, all it does is howl and burn up tires, with no more speed! I have driven them both. And I will tell you, from experience, that the EVO handles better. I have driven them, not on a dealer test drive, but with the press. So I have driven them hard! I have "pushed" them. I will grant you that the STi is probably a better car for most people to drive day-to-day. It is more compliant, more comfortable. But, for all out performance it is the loser between theese two cars. As to the looks, that is all subjective. I like the front of the EVO, you like the STi. You get the STi and I get the EVO and you won't have to look at the hood much, because all you will be seeing is my ass end.
