EVO not in production anymore, so dear owners take care of these great cars!
Man, this comparison was extremely thorough.
I think the M3 had won to be honest
I used to own a evo. Now i own a wrx. Both are great cars but i actually enjoy the subaru more. Plus having a wagon is a plus with the more space.
Welp, that sums up the age old question. Screw you, evo.
So to recap the Evo had: better brakes active yaw control as opposed to fancy abs sharper turn in response the only real performance category it lost in was power and weight but you failed to mention which one puts power to the wheels more efficiently. Also the stock turbo of the sti has less power potential than the tried and true td05 in the evo. And can we please stop bitching about plastic interiors? I love that they saved the money there so the powertrain could be better.
Subie life or no life
A red Subaru and a blue Mitsubishi? My e-peen was confused.
Where did you get your info on the evo power split? As from what research iI have done it is a 50/50 split 24/7 straight from mitsubishi itself and everywhere else I have looked. Going to the seats. Drive a diffrent year evo that does have the Recaros they have more bolstering than the sti. Yes you did mention that it had gotten new seats in the 2015 model but the rest of them have better seats period. No talk about how the diffrent terrain modes in the evo work? That is a big game changer. The tarmac let’s it be wild and free. Allows oversteer and has a stiffer diff while gravel kind of opens the diff and tightens the TCS and snow is basically the fun police to allow the safest driving. And the suspension cues. Agreed the subaru has a very street suspension and so does the evo. But the evos stock suspension is pretty damn good going down dirt roads and rally cross events (non professional of course). And let’s take a look at something else you mentioned as in clutch/transmission. If I recall the evo you had previously driven was the white 7-800 horse power one with a very race clutch. Drive a stock clutch evo 5 speed before the compassion there can be made please. And over all yes the evo is slightly heavier but take a look in the handling. What I didn’t hear yu mention was the feel of the vehicles and how they are connected to the road. That is a very important thing. The evo being slightly heavier but it does have a better feel and one is more connected to the road than the subaru. Now all of that being said. It comes down to what you want the vehicle for. The subaru is more of a friendly car while the evo is more of a in your face race car. The subaru is best for daily driving while the evo is well I hope you didn’t plan to get grocerys because all your gonna be able to do is take a couple buddies out and about and do some racing in it.
In this video I saw a Lancer Sport not a Lancer Evo. Evo’s don’t have automatic gear and all Evo’s have Recaro race seats.
