YACT: WRX vs Evo

[Reckoner]

Which platform do you like better, and why?

 

[EGGO]

EVO has better looks, control, and aerodynamics when I tried it out.

 

[SampSon]

I'm a subaru owner, so I like the subaru's. Though the evo wing is much better than the sti.
The sti sounds much better than the evo.

 

[Rebasxer]

Motor Trend did this a few months ago, they gave the edge to the WRX STi over the EVO, they said it handled better and was slightly faster.

 

[JDrake]

EVO sounds cooler

 

[thirdeye]

My nod goes the WRX but I'm biased. I drove an Evo MR and while I was impressed with it, I'm much happier with my STi.

 

[Platypus]

I'm biased but I'm a WRX owner. Mitsu felt like crap/plastic to me.

 

[DaWhim]

I am a subie owner, so going with wrx.

 

[jaybert]

depends...are you referring to the WRX vs. EVO or the STi vs EVO?

The WRX vs. EVO is no contest....EVO wins.
STi vs. EVO is def close, I would take the STi though.

(I have a 2004 WRX)

 

[swtethan]

evolution, cheaper, better performance


wrx?

 

[sniperruff]

the Evo is more spartan but has a more advanced AWD system, and has less understeer

the Sti is easier to live with.

I think i read this somewhere.

 

[Apex]

EVO.

More precise handling, looks better (IMHO), and dollar for dollar mods do more.

 

[Kaieye]

Evo, of course...

 

[yhelothar]

Evo... I was sold after seeing the numerous Top Gear comparison.

 

[chuckywang]

I have an EVO, so....EVO.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I have driven both and own neither of them. I liked the interior of the Subaru a bit more, the Mitsubishi wasn't great and felt kind of cheap to me. In terms of power/handling I'm not sure exactly what I'd pick since it's been many months since I drove them, but I remember the Evo took time to build boost whereas the Subaru seemed to spool up much faster. Factor in the fact that no one is sure how much longer Mitsubishi will be around, I'd go with a Subaru.

 

[potato28]

EVO. IMHO looks are just great!

 

[Corporate Thug]

still in the evo, you'll definately like the WRX better

 

[Xyclone]

EVO = Evolution VIII, right? If so, def the EVO.
