Both are very competent cars and each has their respective fanboys. The EVO's suspension is tighter than the Subaru WRX STI. The Subaru has in essence grown up in fit/finish and ride quality (to the detriment to many hardcore STI fanatics who criticize milder styling and smoother ride). However, I understand why Subaru chose this route. They wanted to make the car appealing to a larger audience. The EVO has an almost mythic following and Mitsu has chosen not to toy with their basic format. It is essentially rougher around the edges than the Subaru, but closer to the rally origins. (personally, i have never had any problems with Mitsubishi vehicles as my current one has almost 160K with only wear/tear issues)
