bro, congrats!!! finally convince your wife huh? What about your bimmer? managed to get rid of it? Anyway please share your experience owning a STI ok? why not go for EVO? a bit curious..
hi bro..u must be from the bimmer forum.well,i didn't actually manage to convince her in so much as bribe her.told her she cud have the bimmer and i'll own the STi.she bought the idea..but my bank account still hurts la...:cry_smile:
anyways..the reason i chose the STi over the Evo is because i want something with soul and charisma.i know the Evo is faster than the STi but thats it.merely being faster is not enough for me..i'm 32 already so pretty much matured as far as cars are concerned.so i need something that can excite the soul as well as feed my speed fetish.
noticed that a lot of matured conti drivers are leaning towards Subaru more than the Evo.in my opinion the STi has more character,superb engine note,better ride and looks unlike anything else on the road today.the Evo on the other hand is super fast but is also rather bland in flavour.there is nothing special in the looks department,the engine note is Protonish and the ride is pure hell(the Evo9 is slightly better due to its Bilsteins)..
thus the Evo is normally chosen by younger buyers and the STi by slightly older matured ones..
this just my personal opinion..i think the Evo is great but just not for me..:shades_smile:
