F EVO and STI, I'd buy this car because I like everything about it, especially because of the AWD. If you said buy a used C6 or CL55 AMG than mabye I would have to reconsider.
EVO and STI aren't anywhere near as fun to drive as an MS3. I have driven them all- Evo X feels like a pig and the boost lag is so bad it is hard to drive normally. The EVO 9 MR I drove felt a lot better, but interior is still s*** compared to the MS3. STI feels wobbly and boring as well and doesn't have the crisp responsiveness that the MS3 has. I can't believe this car is about to sell for $25k- what a bargain.
