BRZ vs Evo X
Anyone considering the BRZ over the Evo X?
(thinking out loud a bit here) I have an Evo X that I am considering trading/selling to get the BRZ. The BRZ will be the street car and I want to autocross competitively in SCCA ST* class. I much prefer RWD over AWD. I also like the BRZ's smaller size (exterior) over the Evo X. I don't care too much about power. My only concern is the room for rear passengers. Anyone else? |
it wont be faster and it will probably be just about as much fun. what about rwd do you much prefer over awd? i feel like people are blowing that out of proportion for no real reason

As far as AWD, I like to be able to rotate the car. The Evo is great, a lot better than the STi (as far as keeping understeer under control).. but I much prefer to have a loose oversteer'ing car. Just preference really. |
I'm considering this over a new STi or used EVO. I've always enjoyed driving RWD cars over AWD. Even in snow I had more fun getting stuck in my BMW than I did cruising around in my STi. I think this car could be more fun and WILL be a lot cheaper to own, but is obviously comparatively lacking in utility.

I've been considering buying a GR since I don't really beat my cars. I think my old car was a pretty big lemon.... I really dislike the interior on the EVO's besides the seats. |

As a previous Evo owner (VIII) I'd say there's a lot different between the platforms. The one thing I wont miss is the repair bills/clutches. However, there wont be near as much breakneck performance out of this in a stock package, it really is apples to oranges here. The Evo is brutal raw power in an AWD package, its also much more expensive than comparable BRZ (10k+) so keep that in mind as well. More fair to compare an Evo against a Boss 302 Mustang

While objectively it is apples to oranges, people will cross shop things that make no sense to others, but each person has their own preferences and things they find unacceptable.
I absolutely hate Mustangs, because of the driving visibility and weight, but you are right that on paper they make sense to compare against the EVO. |

At least on Audi's and Subaru's its a major part of the why the car wants to push.

I was considering an Evo X before I got interested in the FR-S/BRZ... Since then I've become more interested in the GC and Mustang though. The Evo X is a great ride though, I've still been kicking one around in my head. I keep waiting for them to release some official info about the Evo XI though.
