I was reading Superstreet and this month's issue had a long article on the STi and basically all they said was that they really can't compare the two because of it being fairly new (and they don't have the ability to really test them to their full potential)
but that the STi has high potentials
I like the way it looks, rather than the "neonisque headlights it did have
but Subaru removed the radio deck from the factory model because it didn't meet weight standards with it in, but it comes prewired so an aftermarket can be added

Specs:
STi - 2.5L DOHC 16vavle Horizontally Opposed 4 cylinder turbo and intercooler
300hp @ 6000 rpm, 300lb-ft @ 4,000rpm
3,263 lbs
front engine, AWD
6speed manual
base price - $30,995

EVO - 2.0L DOHC 16 vavlve I-4, turbo and intercooler
271 hp @ 6500 rpm, 273 lb-ft @ 3500 rpm
3,263 lbs
front engine AWD
5 speed manual
base price - $28,987

I'm not realy sure on the reliablility of either so I'd have to check into that kinda thing before I would make a real decision. not all depends on power
