Being an Evo owner, that pretty much sums up what I was going to say. I’ll also let you take my evo 9 out anytime. Just PM me. Insurance for me is not outrageous either and my record isn’t the greatest. Maintenance could get expensive if you go to the dealership but why bother. I usually do all the “easy” maintenance myself for a lot less.
The reason I chose Evo over STI was because of price and availability.
