Lancer vs. Impreza

R32_S15_S2000 · 07-11-2008, 08:05 AM

Okay, heres an age-old question. Which do you prefer, a "Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR" or a "Subaru Impreza WRX STI"? I am a die-hard Lancer fan. So no hard feelings to you Impreza fans.

RL1924 · 07-11-2008, 08:35 AM

Ouch thats a tough one but i think id have to go with lancer little more aggressive looking

lonestarbuzz · 07-11-2008, 08:52 AM

subaru all the way... rally tradition.

Seraph87 · 07-11-2008, 08:54 AM

Evo FTW!

DJJSR · 07-11-2008, 08:57 AM

They're both econobox grocery getters. This is an S2000 forum.

R32_S15_S2000 · 07-11-2008, 08:59 AM

Yeah, and?

SXY_S2K · 07-11-2008, 09:22 AM

Despite being biased by having Boost around

, I would still go with an STI. I just think the quality is better(interior and exterior and engine), and you can't get better than the sound from that boxer engine...

But I do agree, completely asthetically, I might be inclined towards the new Evo's. I really like the new styling...

s2000isu · 07-11-2008, 09:28 AM

I like the sti more.

I used to like the STI more, but now they are only available in hatchback form. I hate that hatchback look.

I am going to have to go Evo FTW. There styling is priceless.

SXY_S2K · 07-11-2008, 09:47 AM

Yeah, sorry, I should have clarified, the old versions only. NOT those ugly new silly ones...

s2000isu · 07-11-2008, 10:51 AM

ya I usually buy cars to drive and paintings to look at.

Dr. Jimbo · 07-11-2008, 11:02 AM

I like the new front end on the Evo. Nice and aggressive looking. Kinda like Darth Vader's helmet.

I sell Mitsubishi's and the Evo is the Shiznit! All I think about when Im driving my S2000 is driving a Evo. Im 6'2 280 pounds so that has alot to do with it. I drove one and with the active yaw control it felt like i was on a roller coaster. They say the S is the best handling factory car under 40K, that was until the Evo X came out. Evo all the way.

appleade280 · 07-11-2008, 07:07 PM

Although its cheaper to make a high power sti (a couple months back in modified magazine) i like evo's more... i think they look 100 times cooler

Ya what he said. That is really funny.

D1sclaimer · 07-15-2008, 03:22 AM

Neither. They may perform well, but almost all of the STIs and Evos in my town are riced out. They have huge wings and 6 inch diameter exhausts. The owners around here are also the cockiest people I have ever met. Racing everyone they see. I think they're the new civic basically.

It's like askinig, " would you prefer the shock therapy, or the frontal lobotomy ?"

I'm sorry, you're absolutely right, so I'll offer something a little more constructive. The Lancer has a fine performance heritage. Obviously born and bred for speed and agility. This picture is an older model, but as you can clearly see, it's the ultimate racing machine...........

lonestarbuzz · 07-15-2008, 08:58 AM

whoa! slow down... there's no need to go bashing people. there are quite a few people who would rather just read than post, nothing wrong with that. i read more than i post too.

i think it's a legit question... you got more responses than i thought you would. but you can't post something like this and not expect to have people question it.

i'm not trying to censor you... you have a right to post whatever you want. but don't light a match and be mad when you burn your fingers.

TheCarGuy2021 · 07-15-2008, 10:10 AM

I'm going to have to say the Evo, as I know numerous people who have split the block in STIs trying to make big power. I guess it's inevitable with the boxer engine design?
