I know comparing the two after a few hours was making me go crazy when I compared performance.

I like the way both cars look I like the aggressive look and hood of the EVO. I also like the more adult looking STI with the metallic gray color.

I talked to the Subaru dealer today and they just moved infront of VW who also is audio, porsche and mazda dealership. VW incompasses them all according to the sales guy. And that Every single one of Subaru's vehicle was awarded top safey rating in its class which for me is something to take into consideration as my baby boy and his older siblings at times would have to pile in the back. My son mostly though would be the only child riding in the rear as I am retired (32 years old) not an old fart but forced to retire because of an on the job injury to my neck back and shoulder. And with saying the comfort and ride quality is huge for me as I want the best riding car I am not in to be tossed around. Driving any long distance we take my wifes car pile the kids in. I am at home a lot during day with our son while our older kids are in school and she is at work so a lot of times its just me and my little buddy cruisin to the grocery store, game stop, summit racing etc

I know the STI or EVO isnt going to ride like a caddy but definatley looks like from just reading your posts and other things online the STI is more feasible at this stage of the game. Same performance as the EVO , but ride and saftey rated much higher.

But I like the look of the EVO hood and front end lol.

Subie sales man says I can order the STI but he says its at least a 90 day wait on the STI and or beloved FRS/BRZ. He said even longer for BRZ.

He said some young kid came in with his parents....they had two BRZ on lot mind you...kid parents bought him the car uknown color combo but both were limiteds...kid totaled the BRZ came back after wrecking car insurance company totaled it out... and his parents bought him the other brand new BRZ must be nice.....lol......anyways I am blabbing on here but I appreciate the input.

So from the sounds of it, it seems like the STI would be the no brainer in my current situation. Also interior is a big deal to me to now that I am older I like to ride in comfort and a nice interior w heated maybe cooled seats for my back. Hatch back option very nice to for the extra sp\\ace.
STI it is for the time being lol I am sure I ll toss and trn over it tonight..

But with telling you guys my life story everyone agrees the Subie is a no brainer?

Thanks again
Appreciate the help and direction
