EVO X vs. STI. Depends what you are looking for in the car. EVO is easier to drive.You have driver assists (S-AWC SAYC) and paddle shifting (TC-SST). STI requires more skill to drive (and for me subsequentally, more fun). I find it fun to double clutch and having to control your car, instead of having a computer control it for you. Of course, boxer engine sounds awesome and has crazy engine response, and a low CG. I pick STI, but the EVO is definetly an awesome vehicle. These cars are amazing.

I'd still take the STI for reliabilty.

i would pick evo over sti its a matter of opinion and not fact a ford pinto in someones opinion is better than a ferrari 458...

@hubbgjgbfg lack of it*

As always, seems EVO is always winning against the STI by a little, but I still love STI and would pick STI rather than the EVO.

Sti

@GustavoNY Yes you can turn them off, but the SAYC differential still does it's thing and helps you out with driving it around tougher terrain.

[GustavoNY]

@jayxtreme6 yes but you could turn the assists off for fun as well dont you agree?
