I'll be purchasing either an 05' STi or an EvoVIII come spring time. I've done my research on both forums, nasioc and evolutionm.net, and have read up on all the pros and cons of both cars. To the owners of either of the two cars, what made you choose the car you did? whether it be cheap looking interior of the evo, or the high seats in the STi.



edit - Didn't realize i was in A/C - thought i was in GDD.

 

STI........i got one

 

evo i got one

 

evo

 

STi please

 

why did you guys choose the car you did?

 

I got an STi...

Because clutches are less expensive to replace than entire tranny's

 

i got an evo to beat stis =] lol

are you modded? if not have you had any problem with your warranty?

 

 

sti clutches are really hard to do on a evo and I have seen a few people get their clutches done at 30-40k

 

thanks for all the input guys, keep it coming.

thanks for the pic hondafiend.

 

the clutches on evos are a bitch AND they suck ill give um that im gonna be on my third stock clutch lol the stock clutches cant handle ****...but yea i think after i get this clutch warrentied agiain tuesday im gonna pick up an ACT

Ya, mine is modded and I dont have a warranty...I'm at 28K miles and it's feeling like I'm going to have to replace my clutch here pretty soon (the previous owner drove the car super hard, and I'm not an angel with it entirely either though ) I'm sure the clutch would last longer if I babied the car all the time, but it's an STi, I'm going to drive it like its one...not like it's a Kia

But before I bought the STi I was looking at evo's as well, and there are a 4-5 local guys around me that drive Evo's as well, most of their tranny's have already been replaced....I have also read that Evo owners are having a hard time getting Dealerships to honor warranty agreements as well...

Consistent tranny problems and horrible customer service
Subaru's Patented AWD system

But thats just me...

 

even with modding, they still validated your warranty?

 

STI

 

my dealership warrenties everything on my modded evo and i have a welll amount of HP
i got clutch transfer case mad ****

 

EDIT

 

STi !

im picking it because it has always been one of my dream cars.

& the most important reason why im picking a Sti over an Evo

is that i have an Initial D card & Maximum Tune card both STi's .

 

sorry b18c5, I was talkin to hondafiend, I made my post right after you made yours.

hondafiend, that's pretty incredible, pushing 400hp and theyre still validating your warranty, nice.
