I am looking to move from my cobalt to ether a 2013 Sti or Evo X. I want to see if anyone has had ether car and what are some issues you have seen. I really want a awd car for the winters in lovely PA.

 

Haven't ever driven one... but Evo X > STi

 

Evo VIII and IV > Evo X > 04-07 STI > 08+ STI

 

sti's motors suck! and the evo is just a nasty mo fo with paddle shifters

 

Well I would be getting a GSR so no paddles lol.

 

why would you get the slow model? no fun!

 

Proper gearbox > paddle shifters.

Don't you watch top gear? =P

 

I hear more horror storiers about the new STis vs the EVOx....the most i hear about those is that gas mileage are horrible

 

actually the GSR is the one with better modding potential. The tranny is much stronger than the MRs SST, and can be built to hold a lot more power. Plus if you blow that SST tranny, say goodbye to $10k.


Putting it in basic terms, the STI will be the better daily driver, but the Evo is faster.

 

cant be cheap when you wanna daily a racecar lol thats how i see it. if hes worried about reliablity just get a camery and stay grounded to the ground

 

Same engine, dont see how it slower.

ya I know this but thats the price you pay for awd.

I have been hearing this allot, Sti does not seem mod friendly plus I don't think I trust this "boxer" engine, allot of ppl having issues with main bearings going.

 

Evo 4?

 

I hate auto or semi auto transmissions, long live manual transmissions!

 

go test drive the manual and the paddle shifters. youll be like racekor

 

My buddy who has an 06 says thr ringlands like to crap out too.

 

just buy a Corvette and call it a day

 

fast racecars and drag cars arent manuals....im done here

 

The only car I would buy that had paddles would be a Nissan GTR, and I don't think I will have one of those any time soon.

 

And how many Evo X MR drag cars are there? NONE. Because the SST transmission cannot hold power, it's too fragile. Also there are plenty of Evo drag cars running 9s and 8s. Seems pretty fast to me for a street car.

 

9's and 8's arent anything special in the drag wold lol and evox is a road course car, i was just saying fast drag cars arent manuals

 

Trollee u izz a trolle lol

 

Lmao. I dont know about you but at the drag strips i have been to 10's are rare and the minority let alone 9' and 8's. Regardless though how come a rally based car is competing with cars that are designed for straightline and doing it better? Hmmmmm.....

Nah i just wanna know what is special about an evo IV

 

fix

 

Did u forget about the FQ models?

 

Evo 4

I guess SST is something along the lines of our shitty SS trannys huh?
