I am not saying it from a technical/engineering point of view its just how they make me feel, its different from one person to the next and subjective. But you don't think the steering wheel has a nice manly feel to it? Its by no means a tank but gives me a mechanical planted feeling.

When I put my foot down IMO the evo WAY out performers the Subaru but really it starts before I turn the key. I just love the scooby, its the weight of the doors and the way they ku-dunk when you close them. The feel of the indicators to the weight of the steering. I feel like its a real mans car but can't deny, the evo on paper at least is the far better car.
If I was given a evo, in no small way would I be disappointed but as a car for the road its the Subaru all the way for me.

I wish you would have elaborated a bit .
My experience is not vast but have driven 8 scoobys and 4 evos. I have been in a few more but ALWAYS had to hold on a bit more in the evos. As for power its a bit more difficult because most had be moded but like for like(ish) the evos were faster. I could be wrong but from what most have said and I have read they say the same, the evo like for like is faster .
P.s how come I have to put up with this s**t? I wasn't the first to say the evos are technically better , or do I not want to know?

I seem to have upset a few by saying how I feel about cars that I have owned and experienced. I haven't driven all cars so can only say how I feel about the ones I have.
But I ask, am I on the wrong site here.(don't answer) I like the solid feel that I get from the Subaru. They may be s**t cars (there seems to be a few on here that think so) ,they might not but i don't care, its SUBJECTIVE .

Comparing my mates ev fq360 to my p1 running 330 ish...my p1 is quicker...evo handles better but in reality i think the difrence in these cars is the driver in in performance wise.both beutifull cars

Straight line power I much prefer the way the Subaru STi accelerates!!
Not saying which one is faster as thats a bit stupid as there are never going to be standard vs standard as most have had some upgrades!!
Dont think I would bother with a Evo again, unless it was a nice Evo 9 GT or a mint Evo 6 RS come up for sale at a good price, trouble is a good 9 GT is about the same price as a good Spec C and I always go funny at the knees when I see a white spec c.
