meh… id prefer a better platform to start with rather than a ford #1, and a car that cant break out of the 15’s without 4500$ in motor work. trust me… ive been there… more than once. ---

That’s because one is a rally bred sports sedan and the other is a cavalier with a supercharger hanging off the side of the motor. ---

STi’s are great cars if you can afford them. I know I can’t. I’d never buy a used one either. I like my Cavalier though. :nod ---

while your comparison is valid, if thats all that matters to you, i dont like STis to the point of which id own one, and owning a FWD car with enough power already and having driven 400hp turbo hondas and evos i can say FWD sucks. while the STI is expensive you can drive it all year, even with 400hp, snow tires do alot, but i can bet that your cobalt SS with “245hp” is going to suck in the snow. meaning you will need a winter vehicle, so thats twice the insurance, twice the operating costs, maybe twice the payment, all to make your cobalt fast… its up to the end user, and its apples to oranges… use the beaten comparison of the Evo vs STI for cost vs mods vs power vs reliability… evo takes the cake 10fold ---
