crap rear lights and the looks like a 60mph crash into the ripspeed counter from the front. All it needs now are some of the ****ty little scoops to replace the bonnet vents - one must point to the window though

Swapping for an STI is by no means a down grade. I've owned 3 Evo's (5, 6 & 8) and 3 Impreza's (Import WRX, STI 8 & STI 4 Type R) and they can cost pretty much the same to run depending on how frequently you use them. TBH I didn't have the Evo 8 or STI 8 long enough to prive that though.
If you're going from an Evo 4 to an STI 4/5 or 6 running costs for the age will be very similar.
Be very careful with lower priced STI's with 'WTF' mods as their could well have been misuse and poor ownership. I know this first hand BTW.
Ultimately if you can get a private sale for yours then you'll have more options with cash. Attempting a swap will limit your options.
Regards and good luck

Makes me laugh the people slagging the sccop off when it's a STI 8 one.
Front spilitter doesn't look that too dis-simialr to a P1 one,which loads of people on here fit.
Don't like the rear lights or wheels either.
Apart from that it looks alrite.
Much better cars out there for the money tho.

LOL @ the P1 splitter comment above... it looks more like the cowcatchers they used to put on the front of American steam trains in the wild west. Would be great in deep snow.
That car IS shocking though.

i think its due to the fact that its a 03 to 05 scoop, which makes the car look cheap imho. It just doesnt sit right and combined with the splitter and lights does make it look a bit like a chav mobile!
totally agree with you mate, there are better cars out there!

Wouldn't say it's 'shocking' just a bit different to the norm.

i can see this being a long thread if he's goto keep asking everyones opinion on should he swap his EVO for this scooby 
No offence intended Mark, but what should it matter what others think of the car afterall its YOU that has to drive it not them, and i would try and sell yours for cash as has been said when you have to p ex your car that will limit the number of people you can deal with.
Cold cash is far far better
