ugh sorry my comments are being construed as hate towards the evo... it's not! i like the car very much and if i had an opportunity to own one i would give it a try (i used to own a "boring" wrx  ).
but i have never been in the current model. dealerships won't allow test drives without deposit w/intent to buy, so i only have magazine articles to rely on

one problem in the evo 8 or 9 is the clutch.
oem clutch is known to break down premature-ly. so if you get an evo and decide to mod with the stock clutch, it will die.
i know because i need a clutch replacement at 28k miles. i think the first owner of my car used to have bolt on mods before i bought it. that why it went.
other than that, im loving it!

sorta gutless, but they still pack a decent punch since they weigh slightly under 1000kg.

Even though I drive an Evo, I've always liked the STIs! I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Many evo owners from states blew their tranny up because basically too much power for the tranny can handle, but the engine is FINE. So well built motor failed tranny...
But don't get the confusion as the 6 speed is bad, at the end it depends how you drive your car. If you don't rev match and do kick out often then the tranny will have a shorter life etc.... Quote:

The solution to this is to either install an extra fluid cooler or actually change the clutch, but no one has replaced the clutch on their SST yet.

Not to mention the easily blown transfer case problem...(i think around 06 Evo IX they start equipping launch limiter (1st gear @3000rpm) to solve this problem so pp can't blown up their transmission launching at 5000+rpm) All the evo VIII, IX, MR owners i've met in US, autox , track or drive like you stole it, one way or another. I'll advise pick up an Evo X instead....
p.s. 03 VIII are especially problematic

And for the record, evo's make more power easier than the sti. Also the evo 9 engine is superior to the evo 8 engine. If you're afraid of pushing the transmission, send it back to shep trans for a ~$1000 upgrade that will make it hold 600-700whp all day no problem.
