i know ppl are going to eat me for saying this but in sri lanka STI IS WAY OVERATTED, everyone thinks stis are more cool cuz alot of ppl have them ,but seriously who ever is going to buy an car should test drive an evo ,sti are good for sri lanka cuz there comfortable compared to evos ,and the noise of the boxster engine other than that ,evos have way more advantages ,evos are faster in a straight line always when compared to stis ,even conering speeds are way higher than stis on tarmac , i haven driven both cars but when u get into an evo u can drive like mad right from the begining,but stis take time for the drivers to get use too,even in top gear jeremy clarkson prefers stis but when they compared evo 8 and sti 8 they said "the sti is a boys car while the evo is an mans car",,when they reviewed evo8,sti8,audi s4 ,they kept a drag between all three cars the evo beat both of them keeping a 4 car gap lead,the sti was tie with the audi ,this real info from an top gear episode, download it from the net ,its was a yellow evo 8 ,blue sti8 and red audi s4
