Yesterday my friend bought STI RA. We make little comparsion with Lancer EVO. In my opinion. Impreza has better design, superstrong engine, very good torque and power distribution to wheels. But less communicative steering (long gearing), long gear stick. I think EVO has better fahrverk. My GT thanks to blow off, decat exhaust (only 3" pipe - super sound :-)), Apex federn, short shift kit and digit power tuning (now im running about 1,4 bar) looks to be qicker than two other in comparsion. But Sti and Evo can be modified very well. With my GT im near its limit. But fahrverk is under quality of STI and EVO.
