I was seriously thinking about replacing my MY01 WRX with a MY03 STi. Things are looking up though in the Mitsubishi camp, as they are apparently pricing the new Evo (Est £28k) very closely to the new STi (Est 27k). Not only that but it will get a bigger fuel tank, 6 speeds, 280bhp and greater availability. Could be tempting more of us across to the darkside? Nice looking pics on Warrender site as well, should any one want to see it!

As a past owner of an Evo I have to say the most important improvement must be the bigger fuel tank ;)

dont know about evo 8 but previous evo's needed servicing every 4500 miles, but having experienced the power of the Lancer it is a difficult decision to make, having said that the sti should have a bit of go in it.
