IGN has a review of the 2006 WRX STI. They tend to compare the WRX to the EVO a lot, because they absolutely love the Mitsubishi EVO.
Many have said that the EVO is the more “precise” machine of the two. We’d have to agree with that statement, as the Subaru just doesn’t have that razor sharp feeling. However, the EVO is the most sensitive car we’ve ever driven, so it would be hard to find a car that just feels that telepathic… The STI has a lot of power and is more than capable of holding its own against the EVO, so one can only claim one car to be the winner when it comes to small personal preferences. Personally, we love both cars, but we happen to like the interior of the STI a lot more. It’s not as plastic-y feeling as the EVO’s cockpit, so if we had to choose between the two cars, we’d go with the STI.
