Lancer Or STi


Recommended Posts

thanks everyone

unfortunatly i couldnt test drive either cars because some stupid rain came into houston out of nowhere (but it did get cold :) )

BUT.....there is always tomorrow .... im going to end up testing out about 5 cars....well one technically isnt

anyway itll be the Evo, STi, RX-8, Nissan Murano and Nissan 350Z .....but ive pretty much already made my deciison like i said earlier (evo)

and for blues: i havent seen a white one, but i will be sure to look at ALL colors tomorrow.....i think no matter which color i end up choosing i cant go wrong :)

Neither - get yourself a slightly used Audi S4.  :yes:

Audi's are nice, but some of the models are just overpriced "luxury" VWs.

I'd go with the WRX. The last test I saw between the EVO and the WRX, the WRX won. And Subaru finally changed those fugly circular bug-eyes headlights. Both cars are really nice, though. I'd recommend test driving BOTH cars (and any other cars you are thinking about buying) before you buy anything.

What's wrong with a VW?

From those two cars the Evolution VIII was proben to be the best car compare to the WRX STI!!!

If i was to get one of them, i would go with the Evo VIII...

But from all cars the S4 is what is all about... (Y) :yes:

Evo and the STi are generally tied 'stat' wise when you look at the reviews, even with the STi WRX putting out more HP. Overall most car mags are giving the Evo the nod, and after driving them both I tend to agree.

The other thing that really is stupid about the STi WRX is that it doesn't come with a freaking radio? How stupid is that? "We feel that most of our buyers would replace the radio anyhow and so we just didn't put one in..."

A few friends recently got me into these little Asian things...I must say, that both the Lancer and the STi impressed the hell out of me. Though some of the legends about their performance run a bit..well..silly, they deliver great bang for the buck. At the end of the day, you could get a more stylish machine for the same price tag, but I'd rather go for the performance myself. I really don't think you could go wrong either way. Several of my friends and clients own STi's, and they swear by them, whereas I only know one person with an Evo, who is equally fanatical about their auto - sounds like a win win deal to me. My girlfriend has had her "new" ten year old NSX for half a year now and it's proven to be a very reliable and high performing (despite the mediocre paper specs) machine - not to mention the low cost of maintenance. I think the Japanese are onto something here ;)

Good luck!

WRX STi all the way - Even though there pretty on par on performance I'd say that the STi would be that just much better, espcailly looking back on all the older models. Although my fav WRX is the 1996 WRX STi.. :)

This is what I call effective Marketting!

Anyway, if your true purporse is to race around the block just get the one you can afford to mod the most.

Nothing like first hand experience, I suggest you test drive both vehicles.

enjoy :devil: :laugh:

No Radio is Bad Marketting! What If they didn't include brake clips because they 'figured' most their customers would replace them 'anyway' :laugh:

well i got to test drive TWO cars today.... just the STi and the Evo

i must say.....i was impressed more by the evo than the STi

for 1: over here the STi is jacked up in price to 38 grand... politelly saying... F UCK THAT

the Evo is about 34 grand ... BUT there is one with about 500 test miles (but its silver) and that one is about 29...my dad thinks we could get it poissibly for 27...not to mention im going to trade my old car in (about 10grand there)

anyway i was just impressed more by the evo...everything about it just gave me goose bumps....nothing better than hauling ass with 4 people in the car.....cept i am down the line going to replace the speakers ( i already have a badass radio from my other car...and a 10" JL Audio W7... though now i have room in the trunk for a 12" or 13".... probably getting a 13" around christmas).... oh and btw...the trunk has SO MUCH ROOM....you could fit one, maybe two, bodies in there :yes:

and to the person that said the STi has more horsepower so its faster.... the evo is slightly faster with less horsepower. :) Don't base everything on horsepower my friend.

anyway they are looking right now for a blue evo (which is the one i like the most)...if they cant find it... im going to "settle" for the silver

and YES OF COURSE I WILL TAKE SOME PICS....lol...though i dont have a good digital camera...its kinda sh1tty (ironic eh?)

Sorry, but the STi has the better 4-wheel drive system. No one makes 4WD better than Subaru.

Also, the WRX would have probably been the best choice. The Evo and STi are quite useless unless you actually plan on racing them at some point.
