i thought u drove an evo x?

one reason that i posted long ago y the evo can out handle the sti is because of the diffs in the evo. vary the power from side to side and front to back, u end up with one wheel drive powering through the corners, no understeer, no oversteer. re: look up AYC

now some people will come in and say but the sti has a electronic center diff which varied power front and rear too! the truth is NO, its doesnt work like the way u think it does.

and no im not trying to be hostile, i am just merely pointing out the wrong facts so people dont get mislead.

i vote for the boxer rumble... seriously...

i prefer the STI

when I am thinking of getting evo or sti ( not that I am thinking to get it for real) :P
it always comes down to value. which car depreciate less is the one I would get

SO I think of it this way
Subaru has way better market here in NA.
Mitsubishi almost went bankrupt I don't know how many times.
I think Subaru will have higher resale value won't it?
so I would get an STI




... errr damn it! ...
re reading OP's post, you said "leasing" ... so my post is useless but I'll post it anyway, because I can LOL :)

thanks for the input guys. just outta curiosity is there anyone here leasing either cars and wat r ur monthly payments?

pick which one you think looks better.

go test drive it and see what you like


this whole EVO/STI rival thing has been going on for decades

personally... i prefer the EVo

I'd driven both and owned one in the past 5 years. I would say that the Subaru is less refined and on the wilder side. Like, driving an older E36 M3. But on the other hand, the EVO is more of a time attack machine, good steering response and points to the direction you want. Just like a E92 M3 with loads of technology. If your gonna pick, I would go with the exterior of the car. Both are very fast car that you have excessive power for daily use already. It's easy to pick, hb vs 4 door sedan.

I vote Evo just because I ended up getting one... curse Mitsubishi for introducing the SST though!! A 6spd would have been perfect!

the evo has a faster rack than an sti (sti has a rack the equivalent of a '98 beetle). :D

EVO ...... pronounce as EVIL, anyone ever wonder why?


EVO powaaa btw




u dont pronounce EVILlution
but EV OO lution



yet ppl say EVIL, EVIL 10, so EVIL la

no comment...

2010 STI Base = $62X/month(including tax) for 48months with zero Down for me.

Pft you and your ugly hatchbacks

STi uses mechanical diffs while evo x uses electrical diffs with magnetic clutches I believe. I do own a Evo X, but I also believe that if STI were to equip with a gripper tire, it would handle closer with an Evo, that is all. I think JDM spec STI uses bridgestones, but I can't dig up the source for that, I could be wrong though.

Come again?

Drove both, went with the STi.

both are beautiful cars.
Id wayyy rather take the Evo tho :(
Sorry WRX :(

ive driven sti's before never evo. still need to experience that.

i thought you couldnt test drive an evo at a dealership cause they dont have any there until you order and pay for it? so i guess you have to find someone with an evo willing to let you drive it?

lots of the mitsu dealers have evos. i no kingsway has one, nvan has one, rich has one and some local dealers

They wont let you test drive it lol. They'll tell you it's part of their policy.:rolleyes:

Once I've narrowed down my list of candidates I've always considered the following things:

1. The driving feel of the car - unless you're going to do track days extensively the actual lap times don't matter. How do the ergonomics fit you? Do the steering, handling & controls feel right? Does it put a smile on your face or not?

2. Build quality - this includes perceived build quality - is there a difference between the cars? No matter how much you like a car, if it's regularly causing you problems it will not be long before you hate it. Always buy quality first.

3. Does the car fit your economic situation? - resale value. Cost of repairs. Other costs. Is your economic situation a factor.

Right off the bat I'd pick the Subie because it's a hatchback. I have an outdoor lifestyle and a hatch helps. However, since both cars are candidates then that's probably not an issue for you.

The priority you give these 3 things can change depending on where you're at in life. But you must consider them or you might regret your purchase.
