It's not that I'm lazy, It's that I don't care.
Exclamation STI vs. Evo, cast your vote

The STI is winning, lets keep it that way

What are your pros and cons when comparing the two?

Aside from the fact that every punk kid these days has a WRX or STi that his parents bought him?

I almost bought and Evo MR instead of my Legacy GT. I just could not justify spending $36K on a car with no cruise control.

I hate using cruse control because I'm always wanting to speed up there, or slow down here...

When I used to drive my car to Lovelock for races, I discovered that the cruise on the Sti only goes to 97 Mph. hahaha...Vista Blvd in Sparks to Lovelock in 55 minutes...woooo.

I take it the 80E is no big deal as far as the police go. . .

One cool thing about the STI cruise is you can shift and just hit resume and it takes you back to your previous set speed. maybe it works that way on all cruise enabled manual cars, never tried it before my current ride.
