Hm... to bad this rivalry is coming to an end. I think these cars need to coexist in order to push each other toward greatness.

We had 3 subaru, 4 evo, 2 ford sti, 2 civic, 1 911 on 5 outings over yorkshire dales, 2 of 3 subaru went home on flat beds, all others came home begging for more, never buy a subaru !
TBH, i believe that Evo have always been fast than Subaru's and even experienced drivers admit that they are.

They arent, they make them so on purpose as to get people to buy evo's because they know that speed is the only important thing in a car... There are other tidbits but speed is n1(that includes handling as with poor handling there is no speed) with comfort breathing down its neck in n2...

Zeus WRX learn to count you moron. Mitsubishi won 4 wrc championships in a row with tommi makinen. You're just like every subie owner never rally in the car always afraid to do some real mods.
I like STI's a lot, but it seems to me that EVERYONE has one... Kinda played in my opinion (I know as if anyone asked for my opinion...) After a year of debating and saving $, I think I've finally decided to go with the Evo... More unique and from what I hear better overall... Im not writing this to get anyone riled up for any reason... and YES I know they each have their perks... just Evos seem to have more.
I dnt care what they say about evos’s atleast changing spark plug’s easy on them 😂
It's a Mitsubishi. They hold together pretty well. Sadly, because it is such an awesome car, and really cheap for what you get, they often end up with owners that give them a good trashing. Either way, well worth it as a daily drive if you ask me.
The Subaru doesn't use a computer driven differential, it's mechanical. The transmission sits closer to the driver and rear differential distributing the weight better. The axles are more equal lengths, therefore more grip on rally courses and less tq steer. This is what's great about symmetrical AWD. You're supposed to dive the nose in to compensate for the under steer. That's how you drive a Subie. Watch WRC and see for yourself.

Update: that's how you drive in Rally. Tarmac you would have to try not to brake hard, so the load doesn't go too far to the front wheels, or throttle too much so the load doesn't go to far to the rear wheels. Basically, you have to keep the car balanced.

I have an STI but EVO's are just awesome on track.
I think the Subaru sounds better(love the deep rumble it gets from a measly 4 cilinder). The evo is faster, but that's mainly technology doing that. You are right on a matter of tastes.

Evo's are the daddy
My friend has a 12.7 EVO just from 25lbs of boost. Feels like you're in a damn rocket.
Both are awesome!
Evo's have always been more nimble and faster... they're good cars to autocross...however i prefer the sti because not only are they also fun to autocross but because they're a better "daily driver".
That what good handing can do to a lap time. The Evo 8 has great control around the corners.
As a WRX owner, i'd rather have an EVO for a track car, and an STI for a daily
LOL look at the guy in the orange shirt to the bottom right at 0:45 just as hammond says "the stig"!!! XD btw the evo viii is immense!

Hmm... Interesting opinion, but an opinion none the less. I consider the Subaru more of the car that is used to driving tough terrain like most rally circuits than your typical urban sedan. But if you mean in general, then... Not quite. Both have plenty of models for you typical day-to-day driving, even standard models of the Lancer and Impreza.

I really want to see the Lancer Evo back. Along with the WRX, It was a fast, practical car that defined an era. But if they're thinking about bringing it back as an SUV, I'd rather have it stay dead.
i new evos were beast.
got to love the evo especially the evo8..... stuff
"The Subaru is a good boys car, but that the mitsubishi is A MAN'S CAR". - The Stig
They are both very good cars. It comes down to which style and make you like better. BTW, 04-07 are the best. The new EVO and STI just not the same.
i like the way evos look over the sti, still both look good, and are faster than a 360 spider, top gear did a test on that too :)
@mastersusaf No worries, glad to help! I agree with you that the world needs more options for rally-inspired awd street cars though.
evo forever
Evo VIII is the bast car ever made
very well said... couldnt agree with you more.. i love evo's more, but for a daily driver sti
helll yeahh thank u for clearing that up =]]
Love them both
Evo 7 or 8 above any other car
The sti was slower because it was driving over all the oil drips left behind by the EVO lol just kidding, great comparo I would chose the EVO except here in Australia they are a bit of a worry with insurance and trade in, most car dealers wont touch any imports when you are ready to trade in, so instead I have an 04 STI I would swap subies rumble engine for the spine tingling EVO engine though just sounds much better imho
watching this video in 2021 it's still reverent
@DrewBurton you should easily be able to fit comfortably, Im 6'1 and have about 3 inches headroom and another 2 inches if i move the seat all the way back. Try driving an Rx7 FD or Mx5 NA they both have small interiors. They are not too bad to work on, I took my Intake manifold off in about 20mins working very slowly.
I Love my Evo
I agree, I love Mitsubishi
from my experience i own a prodrive & fq300 both rhd both mostly stock both have ewg id say the prodrive is quicker 0-120km but the evo definitely picks up at 120+ id trust the subaru around the corners, evos are more reliable
why is it so fast ? I know its AWD, but are the factory tires insane? are the brakes crazy ?

@JohnSlonakiller Thanks for the info John, after you posted this i looked into it, and i can agree that this is a biased comparison. I think there both amazing :) i wish more competitors would get into this awd rally battle. again thanks for answering my question !
The fact is I love them both. The new ones just not the same.
I love the VIII.
I like both but I would take the Subaru because I grew up with it. It is very comfortable! Even with a family of 5. :)

Neat thing about subarus is that they will naturally oversteer on everything besides dry pavements. Dry pavements give it under steer, but it's manageable. Wet pavement can cause a lot of sudden understeer at low speed sharp corners in my car.
@g00mba00 it depends on whether its a evo 8 MR and which MR it is, cause it comes in the fq300/fq320/fq350/fq400 which are referring to its HP. And i think the STi's can come in a 2.0L or 2.5L engine
I remember one day when I was driving home from Michigan I followed a sick Evo VIII down the highway... I remember, its plate was EVIIIL. He started going too fast for me so I let him go. I finally caught up to him when he was pulled over on the shoulder by an unmarked cop SUV. Poor guy.
@omid11 So where did you get dodge from?
that evo is actually slower version of evo 8. it has 320 hp. there is an 400 hp version of evo 8 :) so stop whining

Its all urban myths, the subaru engine is mounted too far forward and is actually mounted really high. Even the best Subaru’s understeer as a result unless they have had the engine moved back or run electronically controlled diffs like the rally cars

understeer is when the front wheels have less traction than the rear and cause the car to not be able to follow the line through the corner, and oversteer is when the rear tires cannot follow the path of the front tires and it throws the rear to the outside of the corner

Evo pride baby.
not realy evo beats sti on tarmac,gravel,and snow :3
Subaru is a boys car but Mitsubishi is a MANS car......(enough said)
the 4g63 handles more boost because it is an iron block, the sti uses a aluminium block, which creates better handling as the nose is lighter where the evolution is more nose heavier. an iron block is the engine you want for a lot of boost, the 2jz is an iron block, none of the boxer engines came as an iron block. the evolution is easier to drive.. I've seen too many rally sprints, tarmac rallies and neither is superior
EVO ALLL THE WAYYYY
EVO RULES!!!!!!
