In my opinion the STI is a much better day to day car than the Evo. I dont think you'll be making hair pin turns on your way to the super market.. do you? The evo steering is too quick, and can be dangerous.... The suspension on the STI is really stiff. I think that contribute to the noise problem, and also to back pain. If your like me who live in Ewa beach and have to drive my STI to town everyday. The stiff suspension really get to you... But that will be solve soon... cuz im getting suspension for my sti...
Kbi, your wrong, there are a lot of mountain pass with a lot of curves and turn in hawaii... Did you just came to hawaii? want me to show you around?

Noname, howzit! I was born and raised in town here on Oahu. I don't think the roads here, especially here on Oahu are that great. Round top drive is way too tight, the mountain passes are beautiful but too short. I lived in Boulder Colorado for a number of years, and used to ride a GSXR-750. The roads there are just incredible. Pick your choice of canyon roads, from tight and tricky to fast and wide open. Those roads can really teach you how to ride a bike or drive a car (Although the only way to really learn is on the race track). They're just really awesome and go for miles and miles. Aloha!

damn i wish i lived in hawaii... but i still prefer having a california license plate since theres more competition on the streets. but then i can picture cruisin in the beautiful hawaiin weather with beautiful sunset as i hear the turbo whistling. sssssssssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzTT!

by the way, are there lots of big streets and high ways in hawaii? cause i remember wen i was in maui and some other islands like honolulu, there werent many freeways or big streets that i saw... or is oahu the only island with urban technology resembling los angeles??

There are a few highways where you can open up your car....parts of the H1, H2, and most of the H3....just be weary of cops and people who drive REALLY REALLY slow out here.....island pace style...

Grr, late October for my STI. I spent my time Test driving the EVO for a second time. My friend is out of town so I can't drive his STI(bleh)

Would love to have the EVO's eye-candy edgy good looks(if you like agressive looking cars). Just swap out that my03 front end with an EVO7 front end. O yes, and swap out the Hood also. Hmm, STI's interior, EVO's Handling and suspension set up, STI's Engine and Drivetrain...ahh...the perfect car.

The more I wait for the STI the more the EVO wears on me. I can't remember who posted this comment, but pictures really don't do the EVO justice, you have to see it in person to appreciate its appearance.
