Oh and these threads are always great. I love it when people make sweeping generalizations as to the reliability and age demographic of both cars based solely on their limited personal experiences. Ive seen both cars blow up with minimal mods. Ive also seen both hold up to big power much longer than they should have. Ive met douchebag kids who own both. Ive also met older guys who are cool as shit in both communities.

I understand this is Suby Tech and we all love our cars here. This thread would go exactly the same in Mitsu Tech, except the support would be on the other side. But when it boils down, personal preference is what sets apart Evo and STi owners. Nothing more. No one will ever make a competent, irrefutable arguement that one is objectively better than the other.
