Subaru WRX STi vs. Mitsubishi Evolution

It has been debated since these two cars have been created, about which one is better. Many people have their own opinions and will stick to them no matter what. Each car has their pros and cons, but overall the WRX STi and Evo are both great buys. They are both great cars because they produce a lot of power and torque, drivability of each car is very easy, and they both look good inside and out.

First, the STi comes with a horizontally opposed, EJ20 engine that puts out an impressive 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. While on the other hand, the Evo comes with 271 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. So, right off the bat both cars are going to get you from point A to point B much a lot quicker. With all this power, the STi can do the Ð'ј mile in 13.1 seconds compared to the Evo’s 13.4.

This is much easier to do than with the Evo’s not so sturdy gearbox. The STi also doesn’t have a bunch of confusing buttons all over like the Evo. One doesn’t need to worry about whether you’re driving on gravel, pavement, or snow the STi is ready to go.

Finally, both cars look great inside and out. Stock from the factory, the STi comes equipped with 17’ gold rims, colorful pink STi badges, and a nice spoiler to finish it off. The Evo also comes with a spoiler and a very high tech cockpit. The interior of the STi is just as beautiful as the outside, coming equipped with nice blue bucket seats, with STi embroidered in them. The dash is a nice silver and it comes with a MOMO shift knob and MOMO steering wheel to match, which are usually aftermarket items. The Evo’s interior
