for sure, and that's why i was saying, evo's are nice cars, and they handle like mother****ers (not to mention the power aspect) but I would only get one to track it and buy a DD, otherwise I woudln't do it.

And my DD would most likely be a suby...haha

I would trade my impreza for an EVO MR... But then again I would need an impreza to begin with... Legacy FTMFW!

there is no way i could get myself to do it... my suby feels really planted to the ground. it also doesnt help that i love the sound of a subaru with a great exhaust.

I almost bought an Evo IX. They are great cars, fast and handle well...but when it came time to buy, I trusted the build quality of Subaru more. Plus the bullet proof 6-speed of the STi sealed the deal.
