Dont forget about maintenance cost of Evos and STIs. Talk to someone who follows the recommended maintenace schedule on a EVO, its pricey. If your looking to save money I would rule out both as daily drivers. Both get lousy mileage in comparison to civics and celicas too.
If you want a fun car that can be daily driven and want to use for some motorsports then go with the EVO/STi. If you want a budget daily get a civic.
