2014 EVO X or 2015 STI

Ok so I'm looking at getting a new car and I've always wanted either an STI or an Evo. I've looked on car forums but just can't make up my mind so help me out here. In terms of performance the evo wins in almost every category, however the STI is a better build quality (except the engine which apparently sucks) especially in the interior department. It's going to be a DD but also a car I'm going to put a lot of money and mods into. What are your inputs?

  • Aside from a few common issues with things like oil cooler fittings (alittle thread tape goes a long way) and head gasket material quality, pretty hard to beat the Subaru. All of these problems are easy fixes. The Mitsubishi so far has the best record for least repairs throughout the warranty period and is easier to work on by yourself.

    I'm a former WRX owner, so I'm biased, but I really loved it. If you're going to put money and mods into the car, the stock performance stats don't matter, and you should go for construction and engineering quality. Can't say anything negative about the Evo because I never owned one, but I can say you won't be at all disappointed with the STI. It's fast and sticks to the road like glue. Just a side note that I always put in threads about car modifications: As I've discovered through many years of trial and error, unless you really just love working on cars as a hobby, and you're modding your car for the hobby of it, don't buy a cheaper car and mod it. If what you REALLY want is performance (not necessarily just the experience of working on a car yourself) -- buy a car that may be more expensive but performs better with all stock parts. The engineers that work for car manufacturers are exponentially better than the ones who make aftermarket parts, and being able to make warranty claims and work with more reliable parts will save you a ton of money in the long run.

    • The evo is damn sexy and if you're willing to do the work you can put in a 5 speed over the stock 6 speed which will eleviate a lot of the reliability issues they have.
