Both the Mitsubishi Evo and Subaru Wrx STI have been around longer than some of us can remember and that leaves a lot of room for History to take place. Today, Alex takes the stand and tests the drivability of the Evo and STI, compares the two and overall decides what car is the best one to choose.

Fitment Industries sti vs s4?
Supra vs. R34 GTR
Evo all the way always had respect for the sti honestly would like to own but newer sti have gotten kinda soft lose some of it rally heritage to me .The evo at least to me has always kept that rally sprint even in the evo 10
370z vs g37 ?
I diddnt realize people tend to dislike the rear of the evo. I have always thought it looks really good
Me too. I love that thick booty
Evo 9 Mr with the wing had the best booty
The evo 10 is just too bloated looking.
I actually own a Lancer (not an evo) and am still self conscious about the chonk. She chonky.
@@RandomlnternetGuy And yet is considered by a majority of people better looking than the 2015+ STI and the Evo 8/9. I love all the Evo generations, but the X is reguarded as the looker in the family.
I’d like to own an STI as well but being the only Evo owner in town compare to the 16 WRX’s I see on the daily (legitimately), feels pretty damn unique lol
I've got an Evo, which I rarely see and my wife has a blob eye STi which we also rarely see lol. It's a cool feeling
@Still Monday It's a cool feeling not seeing much like what you own
Conner Dargi Another thing I was thinking about was the reliability of the STI boxer engine and the Evo’s transmission. It becomes a “pick your poison” kind of deal at the end.
@@saiyan_evox6442 Exactly. Stock for stock they have their differences. But upgraded respectively they're both weapons. I do miss the trans in the STi.
I'm the only GSR owner in my town. It was the first manual I ever drove and I picked it up fast. I love the short shifts. My buddies mustang his gears all lock into place and you can feel them as you shift. I guess I just like the challenge lol.
Am I the only one who wouldn't mind owning either?
Get one!
@@ryanbishop7134 One day 🔥
#BOXER ✌️
you're not...but apparently the guy in this video wants to make you think so. lol
I have a 15' evo X GSR and one of these days I want to get a 2020 STI Limited or a 16' Hyper blue STI Limited as a daily so you ain't the only one haha
17:17 "we're car enthusiasts, we purposely make things less reliable."
this got me screaming HAAHAHAH its funny yet true
Why did you hide your address? Worried we would all make it a burnout spot 😂
James Cannon well I can tell ya he got on 41 heading south to Oshkosh cuz I saw the prison in the background.
shawnwillbok Wtf 🤣
depere boiz represent!!!
OMG - what did I start? After intense burnouts - head to Fitment Industries for new rubber. 😂
Great idea
Hardcore track junkie? answer is evo. Looking for a more civilized daily?answer is STI. Of course you can get evo level handling out STI, but definitely need more aftermarket mods bc they are set up from factory to under steer more. As far as straight line performance go, you know the story, both needs to be tuned but they both definitely have equally strong aftermarket support. And as far as the interior goes, both are garbage with STI being slightly less garbage. Coming from a VA STI owner!
eesh All you really need is a rear sway bar and ur good with the understeer
@@iTeachMyToast yep, ☝️this guy knows
Nice daily driver that keeps up with EVOS and passes STI Golf R🏌️ ❤️
Plus awesome interior
they are just copying donut media
" EVO's look better "
- STI owner
Bo Fa'aita depends 1998 yes
2000+ no
@Merl Klarhoelter Yea
Ive owned both. Evos are faster and quicker all around
@@futuresteve9781 I myself have owned both, and you can't just put a statement like that, I loved my Evo more myself, but there are WAYYYY to many variables for you to make that vague of a statement. Driver Mod, conditions, etc...
@@Cam_Lotro no man, apparently stock evos clap modded subarus too... 🤣 he said it
I have a 2015 evo and my wife has a 2018 sti. Both of us have thing that we love more about the other car. Seating, shift feel, ECT. They are both amazing, even though they are both currently stock for now!
I don't even care about the cars. Alex's house is ballin'
Also Evo IX 👌
n1nj4m0d3 nah sti
Lol both
Allan Gudino nah anything Honda lol
This series is definitely a interesting twist in what you guys usually do definitely looking foward to more videos from this series you guys do not disappoint🤝
I'd go with the Evo since it's discontinued ☻
Jokes on you, the STI is also discontinued 💀
I think The EVO just has that charm of being somewhat rare and no longer produced. There is one EVO 10 on my base for the like 20 STIs
How can you not love both
4g63 for life. brothers assemble!
amen
Lifesabishi nahh I’m good with the ej
Suuuwooop
4b11 but sup cuz
Yessir
When you're driving an Evo X, you're driving perfection.
Being from New England everyday on the road I see at least 3-4 WRX's and know multiple buddies with WRX's, to me they are outplayed and I would take an evo
Spencer Carroll you’d see more evos if they weren’t discontinued or expensive .
Anyone else see that bike in the background at the end try to do a wheelie
Haha yea
lol yes i did
that .2 second of fame
Lol that's good observation skill
What's the timestamp?
EVO for the win!!😍
Where can I find a 2020?
@@elijahwilliams4214 lol
The Evo in my opinion aged well and looks way more sexier and intimidating than the STI u see driving everywhere. Just ask that cop that was eyeballing u as u were driving 😋
Out of all the automotive vids on YT, Alex has done the best job of putting out quality content w all the craziness going on in the world. Love it!
I think Alex nailed it with why we remember EVOs so fondly and why their community will continue to stay strong.
As strong as our motors 💪 lol jk we blow those too
@@stevenly4085 still doesn't stop us though lol
Rather have an Evo but I’m cool with the Sti/WRX
Vox Gav same bro
Yep
Thanks for having my Evo X on the channel boys!
Always a Mitsubishi guy at heart. Sad to see where the brand has gone but the evo IX is my favorite!
My favorite is the VI
21:35 that kid on the bike tries to show off a little😂😂
Did not notice that till you pointed it out 😂
EVO all the way 🤙🤙🤙
I daily my Evo X.
After figuring out and solving my clutch and clutch master cylinder issues, this thing has been an champ. Running on FA500s and Enkei Rpf01s. It's a direct, sporty feeling. The gear ratio is so short that around town you're always under boost unless you're in 4th.
This is like Donut Media's Versus, except it's actually good.
Donut gave a sti win, this guy gives a tie
Donuts is better
Ultraguy87 that show wasn't that good with the points system, it's a lot better that they got rid of it now
@@deschlong True, I made this comment before the Silvia vs 86 video when they removed the points system.
I live versus it’s just the points system is annoying
Im not sure why, but I have always dreamed of owning an STI. I mean the EVO is really nice, but the STI just hits different for me....
Ethan Sprague same bro
I feel
Same thats why I got the sti over the evo
Heritage. Subaru had more rally wins than Evo. Plus they still produces the sti. Also why pay the money for a top of the line vehicle with a 5 spd as well
Wrx Owner) I can say that the STI is much more worth it for the money. Don’t get me wrong my car is nice. However the sti can take more punishment, and that’s what you want
I own a 2010 Evo X FQ-330. and i gotta say the AYC System is amazing and makes the car feel like nothing else i've ever owned... when it works, theyre notorious for failing. In the UK Sti's are everywhere but Evo's i've only seen 2 others in my area. Yes there isnt many of us, but everyone i know wants one
Evo X gsr owner here, and I was considering either car. I fell in love with the evo because I feel like I'm in a true race car while still having the driveability of a lancer. I do wish I had a 6th gear though lmao
Totally agree. I was in the same boat. Chose a 13 sonic blue gsr. And I have zero ragrets 👌
Same here with my Apex Silver and im so glad cause the feel of being in it everyday is something that just doesn't seem to wear off 🤙
Wow, seeing this video made me notice so many details the Evo has that I never saw before. The line that goes from the top of the vent and slowly fades out to the rear door handle. The boxy rear fenders. Its beautiful.
They should still make Evos 😭
Drive the Evo X every day. Feels so great
Man, it's hard to swallow how Alex didn't touch on how Subaru copied Mitsubishi's homework, switched a few words but still ended up with an Evo copy. Once the evo's production ended, Subaru lost their way. Evo looks way better than the STI. You can copy Mayweather's style but you can make it work like Mayweather.
by the way, I own both.
I think it has a lot to do with it being called an "EVO", that sound so cool.
STI all the way
Also do Camaro Vs Mustang
Where would you fall, Maro or TanG?
Mi tell u already ... The Evo has been chosen 💜
owned a 14 STI, rod bearing, under steer, mini van steering rank ratio. hated all those. love the transmission.
traded it in for a 13 Evo, hated the highway gearing. thats all. love the handling, one of the best handling car i owned.
I own a 2014 sti limited and with that being said when you compare a 2014 evo 10 to my car the interior isn't much different. Evo still has is a little dated compared to my STI but not as much compared to that 17 STI. I love both platforms and have the equal amount of respect for both. I wanted an EVO but got a deal on my car that I couldn't pass up. EVO motors are a lot more reliable than my EJ25 thats for sure though but as a daily I'd take my STI but for a fun play car EVO all day
For me, it’s the Evo which is funny because I leaned towards the STI when younger. Evos are just a lot more hardcore and that’s what you want from rally spec cars.
It is obvious, the newer STI is the better car. It’s equipped with modern everything compared to the older Evo X. The newer STI gets better MPG’s, more spacious interior and more. I think most Evo and STI owners know this. However, the reason I like the Evo better is because of appearance, style, heritage and in my opinion makes a better race car. Although they both handle well, I prefer the Evo’s ACD to the STI’s DCCD. I prefer a six-speed manual to a 5 speed, but the aggressive gearing of the Evo’s 5-speed makes it more desirable to me. I mean, Mitsubishi introduced AYC on the Evo 4 back in 96, how cool was that? Now different people will have different opinions, what may be an advantage to the STI owner may not be of any concern to an Evo owner. For example, who cares about limited trunk space or bad fuel economy when the primary purpose was to have a cool fast car as well as having another car designated as your daily. The Evo was once described as being only wheels and tires away from being a full bred rally car, sometimes, that’s exactly what certain people want.
very insightful G's, thanks for the video
Most of my friend went for the WRX/STI because how rare the Evo is and how over price they are now, but in reality.. they wanted the Evo in the first place. It’s the closes thing to a Evo 🤷🏻♂️
I'm the same way.
I don't even like the engine in the STI. I'll have to swap it for something else.
Alex you nailed it the STIs greatest strength is its refinement. That's coming from an Evo owner. Having had a 2.5 Subaru that could do as much as my old 2. I'm glad that Subaru went back to the 2litre boxer.
Love both but the evo has a slight edge for me because of the look. Great vid btw
Evo all day baby! Can be modded so much!
This Channel is growing and i love it
Evo for life, even though I only drive a lancer GTS!
I’m trying to get an MR Evo X but right now I’m rolling around in a white 2014 Lancer SE
MK3 Andrew aren’t the MR’s auto ?
Eh EVO FOR LIFE
I’m driving a 2008 Lancer ES 😭
I wanna mod it but I rather wait to build my savings so I can own an Evo
man really good video. I feel like liking it isn't enough support but I'm already subscribed :(
hope you read this haha good stuff man
💙
I’m happy to say most of the comments don’t choose the story because of the reasons it’s newer, but instead create literal paragraphs to prove it, this makes me 😃
I personally will always prefer Subaru. I love the brand, named my dog Subie, fly my Subaru rally flag in my living room, and even work at Subaru. But anyone worth their salt KNOWS without the Evo, the STI wouldn't exist. The Evo really forced Subaru to innovate. It's because of Evo we have the STI we know now. They're both incredible machines with their pros and cons. I think if you want an Evo you're choosing to keep legacy of Mitsubishi alive. That I think deserves commendation. But that's my personal opinion.
Evo will always be the better cult classic. But I'm with you, Subaru is more reliable/better company...
Evo, any day
Why is there always a vs with these beauties I love them both ! 😍
great video guys
That one take intro is what made me watch the entire thing 🙌🏼🔥
I'm not surprised that a channel called "fitment industries" doesn't care about performance or potential, so him liking the sti more is a no brainer.
Lance Edwards this
The evo community is that one community that is just respected
I would love an evo i really had planned on getting one for a long time. Now that im in the position i can own a sports car the ones available used near me , just arent all that well kept . Finding an evo in healthy shape not butchered is the same premium i paid for a 16' sti by the end of it. disappointing untouched but some simple stuff really makes it a blast to drive. Both of them impress me and probably always will.
Yo this series is a keeper
Well.... I have a Legacy GT so I'm a subbie guy. But Damn do I love them Evo 3s. Also Jeremy and Co are on the Grand Tour now so still fun!
Wouldn't it be a more of a comparison if you had 14' Evo and 14' sti to make it fair . Since 17' sti is a different generation from those two
I might be the odd ball, but get in a EVO in MR with the s-sport on, the clutch response with how fast you can go throw them will put a smile on your face. Try going faster than 30mph to really enjoy any of these...
I love how he's being so careful and cautious with every statement he makes lmao

Evo for track sti for daily
Evo
Evo
Great video but you can’t act like evos are cool for awesome memories of winning rally when Subaru has won more and are still being made for a reason. If you’re getting a track weekend car evo all the way and the looks ( up until the evo x) and the 4g63 are much more mod friendly. Subaru overall better car unless you have money for 2 cars then buy both!
evo is a cheaper project, but the STI is better for track, and for daily
The one thing that I love and hate about Evos is they they're so easy to make stupid power in, it almost seem like cheating to build one. The 4G63 was made by Gods. And this is coming a WRX owner.
S. Pirtle the 4g is the 2jz of i4
@@iyot1020 lol don't let the Honda boi's hear that
@@iyot1020 iyot pa more lol. But yeah, have to agree to that hahaha
@@bloodsupremking lol honda is a legit engine too but they're more known for high revving n/a not turbo right out the factory well till the new type r came out
Wow, I happen to own both cars that's used in the banner! Nice video!
Awesome vid, Would love to see a comparison of the two hot hatchback versions of the subie WRX and the Mitsubishi ralliart sport back !
The STI is a better option for sure. Also the music can be turned down just a tad.
SlideWide go spend 30k on an evo while for that price I can get a built sti and gap that evo 😂
I started with a DSM and now I have an Evo IX. Evo gets my vote but I still like the Sti.
Ive owned an Evo IX and three STI's including my current 2020 Series White STI. Both are insanely fun, I like the STIs because they continue to get new technology, and I just love boxer rumble. Both are wicked fast amazing tuning platforms.
Great video
I can’t explain why I want an Evo but I know I need it
Tbh I think I like the Evo more simply because it's more underrated, and people always shit on the X more.
Evo
Underrated
Pick one
@@impreza0109 the Evo x is clearly the most underrated Evo. Also, yeah, compared to the STI the evos way less popular
I think the Evo is overhyped but, don't see many compared to the STI for sure.
STI has more allure imo, but the "EVOLUTION IS JUST GOOD". sort of just the ideal all around tunner car.
Evos in my opinion definitely are more hyped/over rated than a sti
Never owned either , always been a SVT/ST lover but growing up i always wanted the Evo.
I like how this series is going already like Alex is great with this car review thing
You should do fc rx7 vs mk3 supra
When I started listening to him speak, I instantly thought STI= frat boy with upside down visor to the back. "It's a STI BRO!"
Where can I find the instrumentals you guys are playing? They're Dope AF especially the last one in this video.
He’s the best guy at fitment industries. He’s funny and just fun to watch
I love my evo 8 i love how aggressive the evos looks over the sti or wrx from factory. I like that the evo are more harder to drive then the sti. I don't care if i burn through my gas faster cause i have a smile on my face every time i drive my car. I just wish Mitsubishi can make money to bring back the evos
I drive an evo because it smokes 90% of the subies on the street with a stock long block. Discontinued but still has a better all wheel drive system. Discontinued but stock 4b11 still outperforms the ancient ej25. It has even outperformed the 4g63 besides the fact that 4g is an iron block. You want comfort buy a Subaru. You want a car that performs and gaps majority of the subies get an Evo.
been wanting to own older gens sti such as the 22b,bug, blob and hawk eyes, i think those were more goodlooking than the other newer generations.
New series daaam this is going to be lliiiiiiiit
Mustang vs camaro
Corvette vs viper
Supra vs skyline
Golf r vs focus rs
STI vs the car they don't make anymore.
Roy Gillotti they don’t make skyline or focus rs or vipers also

"Hold my Beer"
I absolutely love my '04 Evo 8 and wouldn't change it for anything, but I have to say I have nothing but love for a '17 STI. My bud has one and it's just baller, is sounds great and goes like hell.
This channel is still underrated.
This Evo looks fuccin mint
I need to disagree about the EVO needing a big wang on it. I love the clean no spoiler look of the EVO. To each their own though. We build our cars for ourselves, not for someone else.
I love both the VA and X. I formally owned a VA STI and it was an awesome car despite its faults. I've always loved the Evo but the opportunity to own one has never presented itself at the right time. At some point over the next several years I'm hoping to purchase an Evo 8...but they've gotten extremely hard to find in good, near-stock condition, and the prices on them are now sky high. The Evo's lack of presence on the market is sorely missed.
I love the guys at Donut, but you guys did the Evo VS STI comparison far better, especially because you didn’t say one wins over the other; you left it to the viewers to decide for themselves. ✊
"Ying and Yang"
*Triggered*
The one that goes vvvrrroooommm!
I love the Kwik Trip repping in the last few vids. Love Kwik Trip.
Love them both ❤️
lets see a bags vs static for the next episode of this series?
I own a 600 whp built STI and I absolutely love it, however I can say with complete confidence that it probably would of been easier to make equal or higher power on a EVO platform.
STI for a better daily and minor bolt on car, EVO if your building a track monster.
Look the battle between the two is close, hence why there is such a rivalry with these brands. I personally fell in love with the 05 WRX STI when I was 7 so Iv always wanted one. Looking into it a little more I can see my self also driving a Evo 10 mostly for the looks. I think it just comes down to personal connection with the cars on what one you cherish more.
Ive ridden in both, my 18 STI gives me that "look good, feel good, fun factor" not to mention, the STI is one of the best sounding cars with an exhaust. I have nothing against the EVO, seems decent as well
