For a DD it's hard to recommend either of the cars. It's going to be pretty much based off personal preference. Drive both Hal for at least a couple days, and get a feel for the car. I owned an 06 WRX back in the day and loved every bit of it. It took the basic exhaust, intake, tune, and bov very well. I have been also thinking of getting a new daily. I think I may sway more towards the Evo myself. Basically because I love the seats (got them in the cobra) and I love how the car handles and comes on to power. I drove a friends that had just a tune, exhaust, intake, bov, boost controller, and it just handled power it seems better. Plus if something breaks on the EVO your looking at spending alot less than you would on a Subaru. The concept of the 4G63 has just been around alot longer and the parts are easier to come by. It's ideally the same concept has a Fox Body, parts are just there for it. I am going to continue reading through this thread I'd like to see what you decide on and why. Hope my opinion helps a bit.
