I owned/built an evo x many years ago, so have always been curious how the sti felt in comparison
I drove one later last year and I liked it too, pretty much same takeaways as op, I was in the market for a good affordable platform I can mod for the fun of the build as I missed my old r35 and evo builds
I don't understand people hating on the ej25 because of it's age, a good engine is a good engine regardless of when it was built, try telling all the 2j fanboys its shit because it's an old motor
Ironically it's that boxer engine that has the 'one-up' on the s55 M cars - the s55 is technically brilliant sure, but it is also painfully characterless, especially so if you've owned past old motor M cars
...and I ended up ordering another rs3 sportback for my mod project, that 5 pot motor was so good, I had to give it another go
