The only Blob should be compared is the jdm blob. Uk car suck against Evos. If you want a more focused car thats the one. If you after a "better" drive as you say , scoob is more daily friendly surely.

A bit harsh UK cars suck against an evo, how is that would you explain? My uk blob sti will show most Evo's on the road a clean pair of heals any day of the week and it has done on a number of occasions.

I too find the Scooby the better daily driver - its softer so better in traffic.

The Evo is rubbish in traffic, but much more at home on the open roads!

Both good cars, both have their places

Well for purists certain components are important . Not gonna dispute that Scoob is better as daily , however Evo crisp handling is a bit on another level to UK scoob. Laggy , unresponsive steering , no adequate cooling and little things like that put me off on Uk scoobs.
It's not about how fast it is as it depends on your power level mostly , but how it feels in general and where do you use it. The differences i've mentioned not necessary needed for everyone , we just chose what's best for us. But it's healthy not to hesitate trying another variant, spec c , evo , rs etc etc, thats how you gain knowledge to compare and decide of what suits you most.
