Hey,I’m doing a compare/ contrast essay for my writting class. I decided to pick these 2 great cars. Anyways, i was hoping people could give me a few websites that contain comparisons on these 2 cars. Also any websites that contain alot of statistical information on either of them! Also tell me which 1 you consider a better buy and why. Thank you for all the help… -steve- ---

[www.nasioc.com](http://www.nasioc.com/) for subaru [www.evolutionm.net](http://www.evolutionm.net/) for evo both are full of idiots but there is useful information in there if you dig for it. There are 820831745190843109234 different opinions out there and I was doing the same research a while ago. The STi is a great, capable car and so is the Evo. Most people say the Evo is more of a driver’s car, has amazing steering response and has great handling and stability. The STi makes a bunch of power (torque-ier), has a nearly indestructible gearbox and a cushy interior. Most people recommend the STi if you are keeping it as a stock car or for a DD, and an Evo if you plan to modify it. Owning a subaru myself, and having been in both cars, both are amazing. However, I personally would buy an Evo over an STi, based mainly on the fact it is easier (and significantly less expensive) to modify and make power out of than the Subaru. edit: not to mention that 06 Subarus are AWFUL LOOKING :x ---

Evo for Performance. Responds better to mods, mods are more affordable, 4G63. STi for Daily Driver. More torque, but always compared as a “hammer”, steering and handling aren’t as precise, modifications don’t make as much power per mod as the Evo, mods are more expensive. ---
