EVO vs STI

mcclure27

Hey guys I have a $15,000 budget for a new car and was wondering which car to get. 2004 Mitsubishi EVO VIII or a 2004 Subaru WRX STI. Both are great cars and there are pros and cons to both. Just need some help deciding.

Get the Sti it has more hp, in my opinion it looks better, and I personally think it's better to mod (if you're into that). also, w/ 15k you can do a lot better than a 2004, unless that's what you want. I would go for a sti hatch but that's just me.

I'd get the STI, mostly because Mitsubishi is looking like they may pull out of the US car market while Subaru is doing well. If that happens the EVO could be hard to deal with down the road. Car makers are only required to provide parts for 10 years IIRC. Usually they are available much longer than that, but they might not be if Mitsubishi decides to just pack up and leave.
