Not so good. Could anyone offer a better site aboutEv0?

being someone who knows people who own both, and have ridden in both... STi for power, Evo for handling. both cars have incredible potential tho. Simple suspension upgrades on the STi will allow for better handling, and for better performance from the evo, do some minor engine work (ecu, turbo-back exhaust, blowoff valve, etc.) and you'd be able to take the Sti anyday.

also theres some drawbacks to an sti. it feels cheap inside. The headliner feels like its made out of cardboard, and just the fact that it doesn't come stock with a radio/speakers and the evo does.

also the evo looks nicer.

How on earth can you say STI for power? Has no one heard of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII FQ-400?

400. Yes 400 brake horse power from the same 2 litre turbocharged engine. That car, my friends, is a ferrari slayer so it really is an insult to compare it to the STI.

the EVO only has 276 hp. thats the highest model evolution you can buy, period.

Ah I see... Well believe me if you can, import an FQ-400. Its quite the amazing car. Break your kneck acceleration. Handling as good as the rally car derivative.

And whats with "the EVO only has 276 hp". That is a fair amount of power. While we in the UK are treated to a 260 Bhp, 275, 280, 300, 320, 330, and 400 Bhp i didnt know you yanks didnt get the whole range.

what i meant to say was that i knew about the other versions of the evolution in the UK, but that the us only got the 276 hp version.

Through comprensive testing and riguourus tranigin most every professional article on this comparison has said just about the same thing.

When you compare the Subaru WRX sTI to the Mistubishi Lancer Evoloution it comes down to user and driver prefernace.

And Ill have to agree with them.

My best friends older brother has a 2004 sTI, and i personally drive an Evo VIII MR. We have both taken the oppertunity to drive each others cars and we are very pleased. If the other car had not been our personal favorite, we prolly would have bought each others.

Reviews generally say the STi is a better road car (the American version has a 2.5L engine), while the EVO is the better track car (doesn't suffer as badly from oversteer as the STi does). For every version worldwide, there's a respective competitor, except for the FQ400, which most people wouldn't even want to drive, not to mention it costs a lot of money.

In terms of reliability, I wouldn't trust Mitsubishi to build me a bicycle, let alone a high performance car. The STi, on the other hand, seems to be holding up well. The US model has a few 500+ hp versions of it out there, and some of the Jap spec cars have put down track times (the Spec C in particular) that are closer to Porsche's than Evos.

Lets say its a 2004 STI against a 2004 EVO VIII, and the reaction time was the same and the driver was the same for both cars, the STI would win in a 1/4 mile by 0.4 seconds. The downside of the evo is the acceleration because of its immense turbo lag. but once in high speeds, the evo is a good car. this is why the STI is considered the faster and more powerful car.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
