350Z isn't in the same league. It's a cruiser. The Evo has issues with quality and we're unsure about it's long-term durability. I mean, they're already rusting. Besides, the government (not ours) is looking at bailing Mitsu out of finacial trouble they're in so deep. I look at a car as buying stock in a company.
Or, drive both and see what you like.

Well, Evol and Sti goes about hand in hand. Depends on who you talk to, you can get either results. Plus you are in a subaru forum, nuff said. And I was exactly like you, deciding between the three cars (i settled on the wrx, for everyday drive, irionically). THe 350z is a 2 seater plus high insurance, that elimiinates it. TOo many horror stories about mitsubishi. As for Subaru, as you can see, they have a very strong and loyal following, plus they are famous for rally championship. So you can choose a ride that will only fit one buddy and cost more for insurance. A ride that is as fast as the suby, but not reliable. Or you can choose the ride that has proven itself world wide, and be part of the suby family.

I have driven both and can promise you that the Sti is faster than the EVO. The Sti also has a nicer ride for every day comuting.

'05 STis come with an audio system. '04 STis have a standard DIN opening for any normal stereo.

Yeah! LOL HONDA! Dude, I love Subaru because they produce a few economy cars and a few performance cars! Those Honda's are a joke unlike our Subarus! Totally not a similar company!!!
