^^ its all about enjoyment of driving, They will never have the looks of a supercar but i can tell you that i had driven them both and Evo is more fun. You can give that car hell and still it will not fall apart. This is a great car to let go Mitsubishi

We didn't get Evos in Canada until about 2 or 3 years ago, so that's the basically the STI's reputation here. When I got mine my insurance went up $800/year despite being the cheapest car I've driven.

I'd really like to see 1 last Evo, it'd suck if the X was the only model available in Canada.

In memoriam... My Evo VIII:

I certainly miss my Evo a lot. That car definitely saved my life after getting hit and then barrel-rolling twice down an embankment. It was one of the best cars I've ever owned - fast, reliable, fun to drive.
