I'm not a huge fan of the Evo, but I think it stems mostly from the body styling and the fact that, while it's a good car, every time I see one I think of the base Lancer. Ugh. Stick a wing on a 120hp 2.0L, call it OZ Rally, and expect people to like its ugly mug. . .
The STi does have a bit more kick to it versus the Evo: 300hp/300lb-ft vs. 276hp/286lb-ft.
A MY06 WRX wouldn't be a bad choice - they upgraded it to a 2.5L, so there's tons of potential to move up from the stock 230hp. . .

I could'nt agree more. Theres only a small handful of Evo's running around the Truckee Meadows, which I droll over everytime, but seeing the base model Lancer on a daily bases just kills me. Granted its a totally different platform, it still drives me up the wall.
Why not AutoX and track the Z car and get a cheaper winter vehicle? Do you really need 300 hp in the winter?
Perhaps I dont understand were your coming from.
