i haven't driven the new ones, but i drove a few 05 STIs and an 06 Evo a while back and was much more impressed by the Evo than the STIs as well. all used cars and all modded, so it might not be a fair assessment, but i'm definitely looking into an Evo when i go to get rid of my speed.
grats on...
That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't ******* ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as s*** don't ******* roll!
I just took my car in for the 30k service and the technician said he's heard that Mazda is already planning on changing it soon because people have complained about it haha.
if that's true or not and when they do it, who knows, but it'd be interesting to see.
installed a Cobb XLE BPV. took about 20 minutes and fits perfectly with the stock fittings, easily clears the tmic cover. power is much smoother and sounds great!
