  • 4 inch before you run out of petrol.

  • I just love how the sti sounds different because of the boxer engine(=

  • I Love those cars!

  • impreza!

  • i think this rivalry should stop. both are great cars. they should go against other cars like bmw and audi. bmw and audi are over price

  • @mr3ggroll the reason why they do not compare these cars to Audi and BMW is because they are cheaply made. if you were only to look at the speed and stats about the cars they are much better than BMW and Audi, even faster around corners than a Lamborghini, as top gear proved in a later episode. but given all over craftsmanship these cars lack what BMW and Audi have. that is the reason why they can be so cheap is because there really is no true craftsmanship in them.

  • @Venemous2323 yea you are kind of right, BMW's and Audis and Mercedes have beefy chassis and beefy everything, a mercedes shock looks two times the size of my evo. But agility wise the evo can make cars twice it's price look like fools, which is fun, but what's not so fun is the weak beat up 5spd transmission, and $1300 for advans. When new, the evo seems damn near perfection though. I think you get your moneys worth with the evo though, my abs still works great in the rain.

  • @Venemous2323 Unlike Audi and BMW, you're not paying for a fast luxury car, your paying for a fast stripped out car. The STi (04-07) cost Subaru $60k to produce. I can't speak for the EVO, but as an STi owner I can assure you that they are not cheaply made. BMW's and Audi's feel more solid because they are heavier. It all boils down to what you want in a car.

  • @steve8388 That is what i was saying, in audi and bmw you are paying for the name, speed and craftsmanship, while in and evo and sti you are paying for speed basically. And there is no way that a major car manufacturer would have that big of a loss on every car, unless you are talking about bugatti or lexus. What you are saying is that every time they sold a car they lost $30,000. I doubt that sorry. And the evo is made with cheap parts to keep that car cheap and same with the sti.

  • @steve8388 sorry i am guessing that the sti is made with cheap parts like the evo. didnt mean to offend you and your sti

  • I just think the reason they prefer the impreza is because maybe it has more hardcore feeling, and more of a manual feel to it, other then that i think they re both unseperatable, personally i'd JUST SLIGHTLY A LITTLE BIT want the evo. just an opinion

  • Afraid of getting an STI? use protection....By an EVO!

  • impret-sah! , no idea why...

  • I'd always take the sube over the evo but i respect the evo for its strengths. it's about time these cars teamed up and take over the automotive industry.

  • If the STi and EVO were male and female, then consider me bisexual...cuz I could go both ways with them.

  • STI 2011 sedan is back !! EVO X what a sexy car

  • It seems like it just comes down to looks i guess. im getting one of these cars and this video hasnt help me decide which frikken one! Thanks alot top gear! "id pick the sti i just dont know y" ???

  • i have respect for both but i would pick the evo. cause i like the design a little better.

    but i still have hekka respect for both.

  • EVO 9 IS MRE SEXY!!!!!

  • sti more torque, like the flat 4 rumble more, also less americans drive it.

  • I'm lucky enough to own a WRX and Clarkson is absolutely right. I would say the WRX is perfect for loose surface and the EVO is perfect for dry tarmac. Both are amazing pieces of engineering

  • "The Mitsubishi "Did-you-spill-my-pint!" And the Subaru "You-outside-now!"

  • Watching these together...I love them both so much...almost brings me to tears! .. Any TRUE gear-head will like both. :)

  • its just just personal choice. BOTH are great cars. i would pick the subaru.. just because i preffer the sound.

  • for everyone trying to decide on evo or sti in my opinion the sti is the way to go the boxer engine sounds way better and as far as people thinking that the evo is faster it's only because the evo comes stock with more psi of boost and the evo thats "faster" in the lap test isn't the versioin of the car that you would be buying anyway.....sti is the way to go

  • what series is this episode from?

  • @Venemous2323 from either series one or two. i got a dvd and its on there. think its series one. because the cars in the video are 52 plates aswel.

  • I have always wanted a Evo 8, but just bought a My04 Sti yesterday. But I would be happy with either.

  • I am lucky because I can like both cars for what they are and don't have to pick between them, jap cars ftw

  • I would choose the impreza .. no idea why!

  • I own and STI and have driven plenty of stock and modified evo's. I love both cars but it seems evo owners always have to bash subaru's.

  • evo = winrar

    sti = 7zip

    :P

  • love sound of the boxer engine :)

  • Booth are AWD Booth are around 300 Horse Power SUBARU is 300 Horse power and EVO is 280, IMPREZA Is better than the EVO in Drag Racing at Acceleration and the EVO is better than the WRX STi at circult and handling the IMPREZA is better at Max Speed... STi Have better looks at the back the EVO at the front but STi Hood is much cooler. IMPREZAs interior is a lot of better looked than the EVO is! EVO is the king of handling STi in Acceleration because Subaru's Engine is BOXER! booth are Beautiful !

  • @valiosubaru booth? i believe its spelled both. and don't way it was a typo cause you said booth about 10 times.....kthanksbyejustsayin

  • Def tone you talk like a true petrol head , you own a evo and don't give subarus shit , good on ya pal and fair play someone actually realises that these are both fantastic cars

  • I think the sti looks better on the rear while the evo looks better in the front

  • I think the STI looks better in the back, but the evo looks better in the front.

  • @chittchitt1 ya i totally agree wit u

  • what season is than in bruv? cuz i hv watched all seasons but hv not seen this man!

  • i can go either way, bisexual in the evo/sti case HAHAHAHAHAH

  • Check out my Subaru Impreza STI video on the track at Knockhill :-)

  • can somebody please tell me whats the music in the first minute of the video..

  • both are so cool but i will choose the evo over the subaru

  • Booth are super Cool and Powerfull

  • i own a subaru, but would love an EVO.... i dont know why there is hate between the two... they are both great cars and put american gearheads in check... not to mention we have AWD

  • Comment removed

  • Okay, this were supposed to be responses to

    vdubjetta02.

  • @vdubjetta02 I dont understand the Evo/Scooby hate either. I have an evo 8 and love it. But i dont have anything bad to say about the subarus. Both dominated at various time periods in WRC.

  • I love and respect both the EVO and STi. They both have strengths and weaknesses.

    If I had the money, I'd own both. From personal experience I thought they were fun to drive.

    Evo or STi, they do have one thing in common: They can beat those damn posermobiles.

  • @PandaTrueno2 yeah, these r proper sportscars

  • @PandaTrueno2 man, you drove BOTH of them, geez ur lucky T_T

  • that bloody evo is bloody evillll!!

  • subaru sti aka the worst realiable engine ;)

  • one of the downsides to the EVO is it has a weaker transfer case.

  • thats what a shep built transfercase is for lol

  • EVOOOOO EVOOOO ALL THE WAYYY no doubbbtttt. get over ittt. lol.

  • both cars are brilliant. The subaru makes the best noise but it is a good boys car.the evo on the other hand is a men's car..

  • the sti kills the evo

  • maybe in your fantasy land...

  • the evo is good but it lacks a good turbo or drivetrain.

    evos have the worst turbo lag ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the turbo is good, and of course... in EVERY turbo car if you mat the gas at 2k rpms. it will lag for a quick second..... and trust me there lag is not that bad..... besides all this is solved with aftermarket parts. "buschwacker" trans, and an fp green with a good tune.... every problem solved... just like that

  • oh and drivetrain isn't bad.... unless you consider needing a built trans at roughly 500bhp bad...

  • You could fix the turbo lag

  • subaru all the way !!

  • I have an '05 STi. I prefer that way over the Evo for two reasons.

    1. been a Subie fan since my aunt's Brat back in the early 80s.

    2. research the history of Mitsu's reliability and longevity and how it compares (or doesn't rather) to Subaru's. Subarus are super reliable and are built to withstand a nasty, nasty beating.

    I love the Evo. It's a great car. Too bad it isn't manufactured by a great company.

  • you must not have heard of the 2007+ engine problems in all subaru's... and Mitsu is a great company.... its the oldest auto manufacturer in japan for gods sake

  • subaru better

  • the mitsubishi "did you spill my pint"

    and the subaru "you. outside. now."

    love it

  • subaru looks better imo

  • i have the exact evo 8, but no ayc or acd, its usdm. :(

  • it was only on the euro and japanese versions, but now its on the new evo X

  • I love the styling of the Evo, the STi just looks like the cheaper models but with a different wing. I'd take the Evo, but I love my FXT too.

  • any opinions on the 04 subby wagons? i want to get one and its a WRX, with a STI suspension.

    thanks for any opinions, plz give reasons why if you dont like it.

  • thats a pretty cool car, depending where you live theres a evo wagon too, but its rare.

  • 06 looks better to me but still a nice car

  • sti is fuckin gorgeous

  • The Evo IX is better than these two cars (That's MINE opinion)

  • i have the 05 sti from this video, and i love it. its so aggressive... my father in law liked it so much he bought an 08 sti. he loves his but still thinks mine feels more intense. neither of our cars has been modified.. if you can pick up a used 05-07 model do so. you wont regret it.

  • for me its Evo for looks and the STI for realibility and beautiful interior.

  • What about the 06/07 WRX Sti?

    I think if it didn't have the 3-piece grill, and instead uses the open grill like on some of the body kits, it looks great.

    I have a 02 wrx though, so either way, the front is ugly haha.

  • Does this guy get along with the 5th gear people?

  • I personally have owned an 2005 Sti and now an 06 Evo ix. I can deff say both cars are amazing, BUT when it comes down to FUN and Extreme handling the EVO takes the cake by far. Both cars are very amazing, so do not get me wrong.

  • test drove an evo MR and an STi(coming from a guy that owned 3 dsms prior). i bought the STi. just seems a bit more refined. a bit more mature. sounds absolutly amazing, not like some 4 banger honda. i love my suby :)

  • The Evo uses a tranverse 4 cyl and uses transfer shaft assy. to give you that "four wheel drive feel" and a rear diff which has included yaw control. The Subaru has a totally symetrical drivetrain system only available on horizontally opposed engines, and it's true all wheel drive system uses 2 LSD setups in the front and rear. If I needed a time attack car I would get an Evo but if I wanted a time attack car that likes getting dirty I would get (and own, lol) a Subaru.

  • all evo's got much better handling than the impreza's, but the impreza s sound much better than the evo

  • I wish Utah had back roads like that, unregulated. All of ours are cop infested. Plus its all mountain...

  • wasn't there a salt field/lake in utah

  • Love evo's. Well happy with my 8 mr. Do love the old scooby p1's tho.

  • subaru is soo beastly

  • I would go for the Evo!!

    IDK i just like the Evo!!

    But both car r amazing

  • I CANT PICK!!!!

    AHHHHHH this doesnt help me with buying one

  • sti

  • i love subaru. i'd pick a subaru over a mitsubishi any day. plus, it sounds so mean in comparison. although, they really ruined the look of the new sti. sure it's lighter, but hatchbacks? not for me. sorry. this is the best model they've produced thus far imo.

  • you just get that feeling creep up your spine when you turn over the sti, absolutely wonderful car, best decision i've ever made

  • all about the sti....yes, the evo 8 might be slightly faster/quicker, but the sti just has that mean, evil look....id rather pick the sti, but the evo 8 is nice too....STI ALL THE WAY FOR LIFE!!!!!

  • yeah i agree. their both sweet cars. i would still pick the sti... its just personal preference really.

  • i got respect for both i wonder how much do they go for about fairly so that i dont go get ripped off. Im thinkin the evo 8 or 9 or the older model sti

  • Evo for me everytime,always has been,for the past 10 years,they win hands down

    I love the 4G63s,but i can see myself turning to the All NEW 4B11,in the future

    Evo=Cheaper to tune,easier to extract power from.

    Subaru=Expensive to tune,blow up,Only proper subaru is the 22B

  • Evo everytime,easier,cheaper to tune,

    Forget ACD/SAYC equipped cars,RS diffs all the way

  • I have a request for ya:

    Can you tell me the name of the song just about 0:26?

  • Underworld - Dinosaur Adventure 3D

    Here's the music video for the song:

    watch?v=o-qo3umsFX8

  • evo handles better sti has alittle more power both good cars i think evos are better to mod but sti s have great sounding exhaust

  • STI all the way, fuck those Shitsubishi's

  • Ha,your Subaru then fuck if you do't like EVO

    then get the hell off here.

  • you gotta have respect for both

  • Who are you what do you mean by respect

    for both?

  • @trimmers726 YOUR RIGHT TRIMMER ,,people talk sum utter fukin shit on here mine does this mine does that get sick of it

  • I agree. maybe the Evo is faster. But I love sti's. I like the EVo 10 its pretty and looks niece inside. still 2004 Sti all the way!

  • Im subaru hear no evo see no evo fear no evo

  • GO EVO!

  • Take a guess which one I like most....

  • Sti

  • i have both cars in real life. hahaha to the ppl that don't.

  • you are prick i guess you dont even know how to handle them

  • blah blah blah blah blah

  • LOL Nav98 Stop Bullshiting u fucking fag!

  • what? fuck you faggot, I am working on my fucking video to video respond to fucking ignorant fuckers who like to dream about owning atleast a model car of my evo and sti. don't hate cause u drive a civic and have been saving up for a model of a skyline you ignorant fucktard.

  • I agree with Jerarbel. Tho I still stick with the EVO. Funny because I always thought the EVOs' are the dark side, while the Impreza are the light side.

  • STI Ostie...

  • Evo's handling is unmatchable!!!

  • both great cars; but the new model today subru Sti sucks but the evo X awesome

  • anyone know what part of scotland this is ?

  • STI.

  • ..sticking with evo

  • AHHHHHHHHH dont make me choose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVO for balls out aggressive looks, NO it would have to be the subaru for that flat4 rumble, but then it just doesnt have 'the look'... oo i dont know! EVO! no SCOOBY!, NO, EVO!!!! yes EVO!

  • sti all the way too, even tho evo's are sick.

  • Love Clacksons choice of words for these cars lol, Wouldnt mind the Evo but servicing int put me off ever 4500, went for the Impreza, only ever 10k, plus better quality interior and the flat4 burble.

  • The new evo is best xD

  • Their both great cars. After viewing numerous videos i was commited to the evo. Last weekend first time i sat in an STI and the interior is much better. The evo's interior is terrible. I need a car with a decent interior.

  • mehh

    their both wrong EVO 8 FOR THE WIN

    but i suppose its just about diffrent peoples prefrences

  • I had an evo 7 a few years back , i think STI is my next stop.

  • theese fucking cars are sick..the evo is nasty and the sti is SICK!

  • yes their both great cars i want to get an evo but for some reason i fell that i like the sti better do not y, they both have their ups and downs

  • For some reasons i choose Evo but that just me, so EVO ALL DAY BABY!! BTW.. Im hoping to buy an Evo next year. I got 7 months to save some money for the downpayment.

  • Diamonds are for girls... Wise men follow the stars.

  • impreza iz good,but evo 8 is beter! :D

  • Its fair to say both cars are amazing and offer serious performace for what they cost, i just prefer the STi. I dont know why but i just do

  • Both great cars, but subaru has more character at real world speed(within the speed limit). The evo sounds very normal whilst the boxer sound is godsend!

  • I would go with the evolution but both are sweet ass cars

  • id choose the EVO

  • il choose the evi hands down anyday.

    the subaru is blessed with better drivetrain and a stronger clutch but the evo has a better powertrain.

    you can easily modify an evo engine than the subaru boxer powertrain. its a pain in the ass just to replace the sparkplug on the subbie while in the evo you can do it blindfolded

  • i agree with lone richie..although who cares since its all japanese in the end! how can you beat that?

  • Evo All Day!!!

  • For me it would have to go down to one thing. Since both these cars are road going versions of rally cars i would take a look at the rally cars themselves and with that i would pick the Scooby!!

  • evo 8 ftw hands down.

  • subaru is the better car by miles !!!

  • as being in the US Air Force, both the F16 and the F15 hold different types of bombs. the F15 is used for both air to air combat as well as the f16. oh, i forgot, the STi is better.

  • did u spill my pint and you outside now hahaha jeremy cracks me up

  • Evo is the best!

  • subaru!!!!!!

  • Both cars are awesome. In real life i own the bug eye shape WRX model which is lower than the STi. i love the car and sounds the best.

    However i bough a suabru for one genine reason. SOmeone might laugh at me but i don't care. Ilove it because of the boxer engine. I love its soun when you have the modified exhaust system up to 3' inch. It sound very distingushed. You can actually tell is a subaru iscoming from any road youcan't see.. It's thesexy sund

    thaks for the video

  • nice i like the bug eye wrx i like them when people put the black light casing on instead of stock colour the sound of subaru is just awesome .post a vid

  • not really..

  • i like the sti but the evo has a nice slick look to it....and i hate how everybody keeps the wrx body stock.

  • subaru is subaru.

    who knows it, have it.

  • I want a lancer so bad :( But I hate the look of the new ones, Here is a qusetion too for your Mitsu fans, are the new Lancers turbo'd stock?

  • well...the new ralliart lancer is going to have a turbo on it when they come out with it, but im not sure when that will be.

  • Regular lancers arent. I know, I own one but I own the top of the line GTS. It aint no evo but it sure looks good. I dont understand how you dont like the new lancers, the old ones were ugly and WAY underpowered. Like nathandonner2 said, if you want a turbo but cant afford the evo, wait for the ralliart. It should come out during the summer and will be around 25 grand considering the WRX is that price, and this will be its rival. I might trade mine in my lancer when the ralliart comes out...

  • Sweet thanks for the info.

    I don't like the look of the new Lancer because it looks way bigger and bulkier and appears to have too much plastic on it.

    But i have no basis on performance or anything to base my opinion on. I've never driven one.

  • The ralliart has a turbo but its far from the evo

  • these cars are both modified, in the US they are much closer in track times

    also in the US there is no Super Active Yaw Control

  • Wth is Yaw Control?

  • yeah there is...on the new ones atleast

  • yeah on the new ones but not on the 8 and 9 Evos

  • sti= loads of understeer

    Evo= no understeer.

    i know what one i would want.

  • STi= Good build quality, interior quality, reliability and better everyday use.

    EVO= Less quality, less reliability but slightly better track numbers.

    I drive in the real world everyday, not on a track...so I know which I'd choose.

  • His intro is perfect, little kids talk this and that when they will never drive a good performance car.

  • personly i think the evo rapes the sti i like the sti but i like the evo more

  • Ok People Listen Up...If it were'nt for the Active Yaw Control and the Central Differencial in the EVO..both cars would be the same...the Evo has the handling advantadge here....which makes it faster than the Subaru in the hard turns...and obviously the track at the Top Gear studio required lots of manouvering...Other than that they both are the same !! Btw...im not siding with either cars..This is a NEUTRAL PERSPECTIVE!!

  • I just found out that the USDM versions don't have the active yaw control.

    With that being said, the Evo still performs better than the STI based on a Review done by Edmunds(dot)com where they reviewed both USDM Evo's and STI's.

    Here's the link

    youtube(dot)com/watch?v=8oSz38­uanlY

    The Evo came out on top.

  • Yes...you are right...I've seen that Vid..:D;however, I never knew that US Version of Evo did not have it...Well then I guess the issue is solved...I believe the Evo is a better car than the Subaru...And now i guess some people prefer the Subaru becuase of the sound maybe...it has a good sound !! (STILL A NEUTRAL PERSPECTIVE PEOPLE !!)

  • Good man yourself

    Thanks for info.

  • Impreza cause of the SOUND!!!!

  • hahah
