I'd go for the STI :P

Cant beat the boxer rumble!

PS Get the STI and throw in an intake kit, 3.0" turbo back exhaust, boost controller, good tires and av gas, with 18PSI you should see mid 12s down the 1/4 mile :woot: easy as that haha (seems to work with my mates Version 6 STI)

Had another thought... Spend the money on your is200 to make the best is200 around then you don't have to pay 2 lots of insurence, rego, wof etc etc..

STi, you'll start using it for airport trips

thats what i've done (is200 boot is tiny compared to the STi)

Subies are also more reliable

2003 IS200 Sport Luxury 4AT SOLD
2002 WRX STI V7 6MT SOLD
2000 Zenki RS200 Z Etd 6MT SOLD
1999 Zenki RS200 Z Etd 6MT SOLD - Wakefield Park P.B. 1:16.1

My wife's Corolla had a heap of issues for a while there. You can't really look at one car and say that a particular brand is reliable (or otherwise) because of it.

Statistically he's safe with an Evo since you know someone with a dodgy one ;)

my boss has an evo 9 - he drives it more then his merc slk350 haha - its more fun

+ you can mod the evo and you dont have to change (as the first mod) the wrx's crap gearbox, as much as i hate them r34gtr? if you want a moddable 4wd :)

i would go the EVO - but for me my dream car is a 6.5 Tommy Mac edition
the flares look cooler then the 7/8/9 but you have less electronics holding you to the road but i like that more
