Evo or STi.
I hate working on sti’s but if you don’t mod it, it won’t need work except maintenance which oil changes on subies suck because the oil filters are a pita and the best way to change the oil is to drop the whole undertray. With the Evo you can mod it cheaper and still have fun. An evo 9 mr just sold in va beach for 24k with 4k miles… not bad.
After driving and modifing both cars, I’m partial to Evo’s for cost, driveablity, driver feel, ease of work, and sound(I hate the boxer 4 at least you can put an exhaust on the evo and not be heard from a mile a way).
