See I think I would rather the inline 4 as well,But I personally like the extorior of the sti better.But really I am aking questions because either one is an investment and I plan on keeping it for a while so I am doing to research now so I can enjoy the car later.So any more info would be great thanks guys.

 

In my head, I always thought that 2G crankwalk went hand in hand with them being assembled in the Midwestern USA. All of the EVOs are like 99% assembled in Japan, which to me means higher quality manufacturing.

More on topic- the WRX engine bay is scary compared to the inline 4, although many subie owners Ive talked to say it isnt so bad. You may want to consider this if you plan on wrenching yourself.

 

Cars are not an investment they are toys that should be purchased only if you have the cash to spare. If you were looking as a car as an investment you would be better off with the MKIV.

With that said any car should last you a long time if it is properly taken care of. (i.e. oil changes, scheduled maintenance, and conservative mods) The Evo is an amazing car straight from the factory and truly opens up with minimal mods (I/E/Reflash) or keep it stock and enjoy a warantee. The best advice is to go drive both and see which one fits you better and who is more willing to negotiate.

Gluck and I am sure you will be pleased with whatever you choose.

I am a bigggg fan of the evo. I think it's a gorgeous car. Drives sooooo smoothly from the factory. It feels great. I havn't experienced any cons yet.
