^ Gotta agree with that. And not all F-Bodies have pleather. Their fabric feels better than the Evos in my opinon.

Edit: Holy god, look at those door locks and handles! They look more econobox than my mom's '02 Corolla!

The Sti definitely has a nicer interior than the Evo, except maybe in long-duration seat comfort. I haven't sat in either long enough to know that. I don't see how that is a victory for domestic guys. They're both still nicer than the domestic car interiors you guys are comparing them to. At least domestic car companies have been stepping up interior quality in the last two to three years. Besides, you want a real quality interior? Go buy a damn Audi, those interiors are put together ten times better than anything from America or Japan.

In conclusion, this thread has gone entirely off topic and should be locked. Or we should start talking about four cylinder engines again instead of interiors and other worthless crap.

firebirds and transams have econobucket interiors as well. i have a friend who owns a pontiac sunfire(cavy) and also owns a WS6 trans-am, both have identicle dash. and hes always complaining about how cheap the interior is and how it shakes and rattles.

Your right, the seats from an Evo are far more comfortable and supportive than those of an STI, but it takes more than seats to make a nice interior.

4G > anything on that list... but how did a 2.2 ecotek even make it on the poll?

This thread has seriously gone to the shitter.


Back on topic: 4G63 is in my opinion one of the best, but I was thinking about this last night, and some of the Honda single cam engines can take a beating like no others. And they don't mind boost/nitrous and definitely don't mind taking a beating.
