EVO vs STI

This argument spans decades, and yet we still don't have an answer. Which car is better, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or the Subaru WRX STI? Well, in 9 Minutes I'll explain everything you need to know, and what I think about the two rally rivals.

It's crazy to know that after the Evo was killed in 2015 the STI lasted only on generation later before it was killed off. The Evo and STI were rivals that needed one another to constantly push each other's limits and to survive. One cannot exist without the other very long.

Just for all the people that don't know. Subaru still sort of makes the STI but only in Japan. It's called Subaru WRX S4 STI, aswell as the Forester STI Sport and the Levorg STI Sport. They also made a 2023 WRX STI Race car for the 24h of NBR So it's not really "dead", considering they also announced that there will be a electrified STI Idk about the USA but the main reason they dont make it here in EU anymore is thanks to the EU's zero-emission policy

[@rayjhay8624]

@@tiagorijo3357 Lets get this right. The new wrx isnt cool😂. Also like It was said. Mitsubishi makes appliances. Cars wasnt their main source of income. The Evo was just a project car for them to compete in Rally. They didn’t have to release evos to the market but as part of Rally Regulations they were forced to sell units of the rally car to the market.

I love my Evo VIII MR. It's been my daily driver since I bought in new in 2004. Had the engine rebuilt after the bottom cracked. Lightly tuned by WORKS, I have always taken care of it. With 277,000 miles, you expect it to be a wreck, but surprisingly, except for a heavier clutch, it drives like a normal 400hp car, no squeaks, no rattles no nothing. I can count the number of days it hasn't been tucked in a garage at night (16). I recently had it detailed with paint correction and ceramic coating and the detail shop made a video of it for their website, calling it a classic rally car in perfect condition! With the prices their getting and the offers I've received and 👍 from everyone, it's gonna stay with me forever and I'm a 55 year old woman who loves Quarter Horses and horsepower!

[@ArbyCreeper]

Both are amazing cars and both are very engaging to drive and it really comes down to preference. As an Evo IX owner, the Evo will be easier to tune due to the legendary 4G63T (and also 4B11) and fast due to its advanced techs like the AYC. The Evo also got lot more lower end torque than the Subarus. But the STi will be more comfortable as a daily and more "mechanical", and if you love boxer engines, the EJ20 is quite a high revving and reputable engine and have less known issues than the EJ25. Surprisingly though, the recaro seats in the Evo IX is quite comfy for trips. One of the cons that the Evo has over the STi are parts distribution as it can be bit harder to get parts, especially from Evo I to VI. I'm glad I got the Evo though, it's such an amazing car.

[@petkokrushev3840]

I have a Hawk STI and I can confirm, that seats in those cars are terrible... they look good with the blue alcantara, but they have 0 side support and no lumbar support, just terrible seats

[@DumbTheories]

Currently owning and have built both, if you want to make some real power, go Evo. The power per dollar is unmatched. If you're looking for a more comfortable daily driver that'll decimate all in the snow, go STI. That being said, the Evo can be a fantastic and comfortable daily driver and the STI can make great power too. I think this video is perfect in the sense of not pinning one on the other, but just showing how they are vastly different from each other.

[@WTFNoNamesLeft2]

EVO's are great in the snow too, one could argue that they are better until you get to Subaru model years that include the more advanced center diff controls and limited slip differentials. In the US the Subaru has a stronger drivetrain but more open differentials. If you compare same year the EVO always has the drivetrain advantage in the US.

[@deathtoming2201]

Yeah it’s simpler to on an inline 4 engine whereas boxer engines people just chuck parts at them and expect it work like inline engines heck even v engines are easier to work on that said there’s really some sort of weird satisfaction when you learn to work on an engine that’s only 5% on the roads. Kinda like the rotaries although much rarer than Subaru

[@jimparry3499]

100% spot on! I’ve too been fortunate enough to experience both, the Subaru is a far better road car to live with & much much more comfortable, however the Evo feels more raw and motorsport-bred. I’ve always been an Evo man and that’s the one I own, however I could never use it as my daily driver, it would be too uncomfortable and far too expensive to run and maintain. Both have their pros and cons, neither are overall ‘better’ than the other, it’s purely preference or purpose. 👍🏻

[@tangguhdipojoyo8181]

Now this is what i've been looking for, full explanation of both cars

[@Bursti_]

I like to imagine that maybe Subaru knew that Mitsubishi was killing the Evo and Subaru decided to style the new generation after the Evo to keep its legacy going and to kind of give an homage to its fiercest competitor and rival, but also best friend. Probably not true but seeing how they are so similar, you never know. On the reliability comment, being a Subaru nerd as well. The Ej2.0l is such a stout engine and is commonly overlooked and overshadowed by the ej257. Which sucks, because if you ever go to a track day, you are right you see sti blow up and fail a lot, BUT people running built 2.0l Ej's. They just keep going. I really feel like the US should really give the 2.0l more credit. They are so stout. Being an owner of a 2005 WRX, and a 2011 Sti. My WRX feels stout and strong while my sti feels more brittle. Not a fair comparison seeing the WRX has a built 2L BUT it has tons of miles on its engine close to 70k and with proper care it still keeps going. The Sti is up there at 108k and I worry about it. No issues, yet but I have always felt it was a weaker engine.

I've owned a 2006 Evo IX MR and a 2019 STi. Bought both new, and owned the Evo for six years and the STi for less than one. Preferred the Evo, but I think a large part of that was because that was my first enthusiast car, and I did a whole lot with it: it was the first car I ever got into the modding scene with, and I also took it down to Tail of the Dragon twice, which was a blast. The STi was also just a weekend car, as was the Evo, but for some reason it didn't engage with me as much as the Evo had. My tastes had changed to RWD at that point, and after wanting one for years and years, I found that I had moved on from it before I'd ever gotten it. I can easily see my opinion being different if I had gotten the STi instead of the Evo back in 2006.

[@turtletoyl]

There's only 1 Evo where I live, they are still super rare so most guys just buy an oz rally/ralliart and mod them (aka me) it's a cheaper option and since it's my first "project car" it was my best option with the money I had at the time.
