15 STI vs 10 STI vs Evo X
One reviewer preferred the 15 STI, one preferred the Evo. As usual, great job by EverydayDriver. Pretty sad to see Mitsubishi kill off the Evo too..

Pretty much exactly what I expected.
2015 STI: Best daily driver. Sportier compared to older STIs in some ways, but not better in all ways. Still an STI. Evo: A more serious performance car, but not as well rounded as an everyday car. Really for people that value performance above all else. I'm hoping Mitsubishi applies what they learned with the Evo series to a brand new, built-from-the-ground-up sports car platform to really build something special now that the Evo is at its end of life. |

problem with these kind of comparison tests/videos, they never mention the reliability concerns and notorious engine issues of the STI.. when you factor that in, Evo always wins ..if daily comfort is what you're looking for, I think you should look elsewhere, there are a lot better alternatives for mid to high 30ks segment

Very good, very accurate review. I liked it, and I think they gave all three cars a fair shake. I'm glad that there was finally a back-to-back comparison where they acknowledged that the STI is leagues better than it has ever been, but performance-wise, it still hasn't quite overtaken the Evo X. It's close though... they were spot-on when they said that the Evo platform is getting old and needs replacement (or at least a meaningful update) but is still very competitive within its segment.

Ideally I'd like for Mitsubishi to make something fresh and new, but I just don't have a lot of confidence in them anymore. They totally have the capability of making something awesome -- S-AWC is still one of the best systems out there, and a lot of their concepts look awesome, like the Evo XI concept that has their new corporate grille that is also appearing in other concepts of theirs -- but the finished product always ends up falling far short of expectations. |
I recently jumped to an Evo MR and I think it's a great combination of performance and comfort. I was used to the FR-S on coil over suspension so I may be accustomed to a harsher ride. Still, it passes the wife test, whereas the FR-S did not.

One of the reasons I loved my old STI hatch was for its practicality. It hauled a fair amount in its hatch, you could fold down the rear seats, and the gas tank was pretty decently sized at 17 gallons. It was even fairly quiet on the highway on long trips.
It doesn't look like either the new STI or Evo X can match that. |

and the new WRX is even better than the old one with its new DI engine if we are looking for a better performer and reliability Evo wins hands down |

Agree on the Evo being the best performer. If only they came out with an Evo hatch with folding rear seats... |

it's always compromises |
you cant compare a 2015 sti to an evo that hasnt been updated in like 4 years or sumtin. compare same year models and the evo is a wayyyy better car in terms of performance

But the Evo IX wagon was pretty cool. http://www.carview.co.jp/magazine/ph...mages/14_l.jpg |
