The New Evo VII or the STi?

even thought i am an Evo man myself, i have to admit the STi has a nicer interior. But...the only problem is the front. basically its UGLY with those bug eye headlights..

what do you all think?

Color is important. Check out a black EVO 7, you will understand.

Speaking of the interior, how can you ignore the steering wheel? I love the EVO's wheel a lot. STi has a shitty wheel, too big, too square, and no character.

It's a frigg'n MOMO steering wheel! How can it have no character? I actually like the new WRX's design, The back I think is worse than the front and the rims could definately be better.

the momo on EVO 7 is the right size, the right look and the right character. The character of the STi's momo however, looks like it is stolen from a Honda Accord.

Have you seen the eyebrows for the WRX ?

At least it looks better, the bug eye look has gone

The EVO VII is certainly faster, both in a straight line and round corners, however there's not much init, and you really need to be a very experianced driver to find the diffrence. The EVO uses some flash torque splitting between the frount the rear, so is much tighter in the corners, while the WRX is prone to suffering a little Understeer that just keeps building as you approch the limit.
The STi also seems to have developed a bit of turbo Lag, cetainly a lot more than the more flexiable EVO engine.
However the WRX wins hands down on everyday driveablity and comfort. The suspension is a lot more compliant than the EVO's, and still offers huge amounts of grip, the seats are also a lot more comfterble and bit wider, there designed with european bottoms in mind, not just japanese ones.
So if you want a fast car for blasting down deserted roads on weekends take the EVO, however if you need a daily driver as well, and like to be a little comfterble while stuck in traffic then take the WRX STi.

(the above was summerised from Two articles in NZ Driver magazine.)
Personaly, I like the look of the EVO better than the WRX (which looks like a corrola on steroids.), as for which one I would choose? well give me the keys to both and ill try and make a desion. :sun:

I currently read the EVO magazines comparison with the EVO VII vs STi. The driver liked the EVO VII over the STi and the EVO got a better over-all rating than that of the STi. Once again, the EVO gives a better adrenalin rush im assuming, The STi just gives a small punch.

The STi has a nicer looking interior, ive seen it up close, the chrome trims, threads and everything else just looks more appealing. Even thought I havent seen the EVO VII's, and even thought im an EVO man, I'd really prefer the STI's interior, its just more organised.

Both these cars will continue to be compared for the next couple of months, and they will always be compared.

Or do you mean that the STi's give a Girl slap!!!

LANCERZ WILL DEFEAT THE STI'S NEXT YEAR!!! :cwn27: HOPEFULLY!

[lancerz]

The EVO has already defeated the STi this year. well thats what I think anyway, and hasn't it beaten it every other year?

hahahahahaha :hehehe:

[flylwsi]

the real question then, is what about the new lancer?
answer that one...
i think that thing is ugly as hell, and that is what should be compared to the wrx...

the evo7 is the older body style now, as was the older wrx sti, which everyone unanimously liked...

so compare the new stuff...
the new wrx sti vs the new lancer...

Dude unless your stuck in some kind of time warp, the posted pics are for the new EVO VII and the new WRX STi.
They are the most current models, so current that they havn't yet been introduced into some markets.

The new STi is ugly, and when it was revealled it was a shock horror. When the Evo VII was released, it was like whoa..what happened...

The WRX looks like a beefed up 2000 VW Beetle.
