That being said I want to get opinions. I searched all of these, but want specific advice! Thanks y'all...

So I moved to Cleveland from LA, and need a new car for the winter. I've owned an Evo X, but hated it. Felt cheap and always had problems. I want a new car, and was curious about your reviews on the 2016 sti. I drove one, seemed great- will keep t stock, but was curious for firsthand experience- is it faster than the stock Evo X (didn't wanna get a ticket on the test drive)? Does it just look like a wrx without the wing?

Compared to the Fr-Z, do you enjoy it more? I am keeping my fr-s, but not if people who've made similar trades say they don't miss it.

Are there any other awd contenders that are similar in the fun factor? I don't lik the power delivery in the 2.0t 4 series...considering a focus hatch with snow tires (I know it's fwd), but wondering if that's a dumb move.

I want this car to be my last one- don't want my sig getting much longer!

Lastly, should I hold off and wait for a new engine design in the sti? How many more years could that possibly take...?? I disliked the normal wrx immensely but like the new engine idea with the twin scroll turbo. Just need more power and a nicer interior.

Thanks, happy Halloween!

I suspect that your quest for the "perfect " car may be in vain.
If you hated the Evo I highly doubt the WRX or STi will meet your standard either.
Oh and it is the STi that has the wing so if the one you test drove didn't it was a WRX so which did you test drive?
