Thinking of purchasing EVO X this weekend

Yes Yes I know we all love subarus, but I was offered a hard to pass offer on an Evo X today. I've owned a wrx loved it, and was actually thinking of buying a 06/07 STI but with an offer I recently on the EVO X may have to be a trader. My only problem is reliability I know subaru is reliable, but has anyone heard of many evo reliability problems? Im not comparing the STI to the EVO.....Only EVO's reliability the past few years, and especially the EVO X.

Thank you

I would be happy with either, but being this crazy Evo X deal I would be happier with my purchase knowing there are no reliability evo problems.

I'd say no, but that's just my opinion. Only car I'd sell my STi for is a BNR34 GTR VspecII, which is never going to be possible here in the US, legally. Subaru for life!

Coming from a guy with a '00 RS.

I doubt many people buy Evo's (or Subarus) because they want a snazzy interior...
