The car is hideous, and the car has less luxurys and is much slower with less grip, you destory Noob evo drivers.

evo looks much much better, mayb if subaru bring out a sedan it would be able to compete with the evo

It looks like a Kia on Roids.

Don't get defensive. I know front wheel drive grand prix's that would mop the floor with a lot of sti/evo's

Wow, was this even halfway right? far from, emo stop acting like top gear knows a thing.

Firstly half the electronic options on both cars aren't messed with except rare occasions.

Secondly, wtf kind of a test to get it close to spectators is that? Not to mention Evo had wet pavement and STI had dry.

I could go on, but theres a youtube video around that had an Evo 8, 9 and 10 against an 08 STI, 07 STI, and 05 STI. The 08 STI literally ran right past all the evo's and had to fight off the 07 STI for the win.

your sad comparsion fails

found it

Tskuba is hardly a proper test, a 5 speed manual would hardly have a chance against a 6 speed on a track like that.

Also to mention not every driver is the same.

In the top gear test i belive clarkson tested both by HIMSELF.


-- Posted by Holden Commodore at 1:51 am on July 1, 2008

So wait, you're saying FOUR LAPS around a world renowned racing course, these cars all driven by RACE CAR DRIVERS , isn't even?

Kyle is right. One of them on top gear was in completely different weather.

The show is more entertainment than a real giver of info.. They give a lot, but they are biased towards some things, too.

Its world renowned for its super tight layout. and you saying there all driven by race car drivers so its even, that is a massive rofl.

So basically if i get a racing licence i can go in formula 1 straight away and win.

Does forza have Tskuba?

If so you will see what i mean when certain cars are faster on it compared to others who are faster on a more conventional track layout.

Are you seriously trying to argue this because I posted proof the STI is superior to the EVO x?

Yes, clarkson "tested" both himself, in DIFFERENT weather conditions or all things. Not to mention Top Gear is for entertainment first, performance second.

No one said all the drivers were even, however their all race car drivers, its not like they took some joe off the street and said get in. They've driven that track several times, and race cars several times, yes every racers different, but with the outcome of the race, its quite obvious of the cars true performance.

The 5 spd vs 6 spd wouldn't make much if any difference in the outcome. Yes its a tight track, but the fact that these cars are all very similar shows that once again, this was a proper test.

But lemme guess, since america "dosen't have any roadcourses at all" that means we don't care/need cars like these right? I'm awaiting something to that extent from you

i agree i love the new evo it looks amazing where as subaru have killed the STI i looks horrable


-- Posted by hinshawwrx at 11:22 am on July 1, 2008

At first I hated the new look, now I actually like it.


fyi theres a stealthy front mount in there

see it, lol

yes please.

STI>EVO


-- Posted by hinshawwrx at 11:52 am on July 1, 2008

oh yea, emo. In case you want to say the new Evo runs laps around the new STI via this horrible comparison at least show the WHOLE thing.

FYI this is the remaining part of the segment, were The Stig drives the car, and the STI is FASTER


-- Posted by Gonzalo at 12:55 pm on July 1, 2008

blah blah blah.

Whatever any test says, I'd still pick the STI.

They're known to be more reliable, much more SAFER, better daily drivers, more practical, subaru has a great community, and you can't beat the balance and sound of a boxer engine.

Well they did use the less powerful version as stated, when they were driving them together in the comparision they used the 360 hp version that one stig used was the 300hp version.


-- Posted by Gonzalo at 1:23 pm on July 1, 2008

And also.. you guys forget one thing, whether the Evo or STI is faster is one thing.. that's a good debate.

But to debate about what JEREMY CLARKSON said about them? I mean.. he's a good laugh, but who takes him seriously?

Oh yeah.. and Subbie won.

So you want to debate highest EVO trim vs. base STI trim? ROFL. Even more slandered comparisons.

But hey, whatever makes you think that this was any where close to a real comparison then have at it.

ROFL, i love how this kid loves his stupid car so much that he defends it even though its clearly inferior.

LOL you are too much kid


No one here owns a 2008 STI. So theres no one defending it on those grounds.

I'm defending the STI in this thread because this sad excuse of a review is course for calling a winner, and not even the entire video was there that actually showed the STI to be faster and better.

LOL@ you trolling still


-- Posted by Gonzalo at 4:13 pm on July 1, 2008

I think I need to point this out...

the "less powerful" Evo that they tested has 300hp. It's not like it has less power than the STI.

But thats NOT Mitsubishis fault that STi isn't up to thier levels of performance is it?

And every time i see one of those 5 lap battle videos on youtube around Tsukuba its a different story each time.

I remember one were they had an Evo vs nsx vs skyline vs rx7 and STI(its probably a competely different order but its something like that) and the evo won by miles with the NSX second yet in others the NSX wins by miles and leaves everything else.

Using Tsukuba as a source is just lol.
