I'll be returning to the jeep world soon too if a few new job offers pan out.
(or rather the desired salary lol) - but thumbs up on the wrx choice. i have a
2002 wrx, with a few mods ;) enjoy it. I'm not a fan of the redesigned
headlights however... but that just makes me feel closer to "home" as thats a
similar friendly fued in the jeeping world :)

the EVO is up there with the wrx STI in price..

i dont know about 2004 prices, but my 2002 - virtually identical except some
minor cladding redesigns - was had for 20,800 out the door with just about
every "option" (not too many option packages lol)

i haven't seen an EVO for less than 28, and usually theyre walking out the door
for close to 30, at least in my area.

i've ridden in it, i personally prefer the sti's ride... evo feels a little too
jittery, the sti much more surefooted.. both a lot less comfy than the
standard wrx, albeit slightly more capable.

My friend who works for bilstien says that the EVO is easier to set up than
the WRX. I guess he says it handles better?
