Welcome to CR man, I am too in the market for an evo have been for the past 14 months, everytime the right car comes up its gone as I call. Im just really anal about what I buy and what has been done to the cars. Good luck finding what you want, I hope my journey ends for mine soon. I test drove prolly the same cars you have, wrx, sti, evo8, evo9, Subaru just does not feel anything like an evo, If I was buying it for different reasons like a daily I might think into the subis more, it just does not have that hardcore feeling the stock evo has.
