Prove me I'm wrong.
This isn't going to be hard.
Subaru wrx/sti are proven to blown up fast. Mitsubishi has a solid reliability reputation with their 4g63. <-- I know in theses years they had some crankwalk problem though, but Sti blow up every 100k < -- Krnboi12345 sold his 2004 STI with 200k miles on the original motor. I don't know how many time I have to tell you this but the 4G63 is not the problem with evos. Its EVERYTHING else.
S2000, funny yes, good for winter? No. <-- This is universal truth even potatoes know it, so it's not false. < -- Just because you feel you need AWD in the winter doesn't mean you actually do. An s2000 on snow tires would be fine for the winter.
Tuning an evo will cost less than tuning a STi LOL. Evo is one hell of a good plateform for tuning compared to sti where you need to change all the block after a SRI switch lol <-- This is sarcasm but true. <-- Once again, if you aim for a "Little" upgrade Sti will be easier, if you aim bigger you gotta change Sti block (cosworth one msot of the time) Where evo stock block (talking for evo ix) can handle 400wtq without a problem.

What I suggest you.
Go to
http://www.evolutionm.net/ and ask about the evo IV. Pros and cons about it. < --- Good luck trying to dodge fan boys that hide the issues. Talk to someone with really experiences regarding the car.
Then go here:
http://www.iwsti.com/ and see how many sti owners say the evo is more reliable than their car
it,s surprising but atleast they know it, they are not insignifiant
< -- This is such a joke haha.
You are asking a car question in a gaming forums, people here only know stuff about civics or about 2-3 cars and think they work all the same. people here doesn't care about your needs nor budget, they just say poor arguments about X or Y car. <-- This is also true, it's a gaming forum here not a mechanical one. < -- People can have more than one hobby haha.
Also a fact.
There are more fans of subaru sti because: Their car are cheaper and easier to find, they are common car. Everyone know someone who own an sti. Since their friend has it they think its the best car worldwhide and make publicity for subaru.
Now the evo, higher value, and hard to find. <-- Craiglist it you'll see < -- Look again.
