Impreza or Lancer?

[Loser1]

Which one of these is your favourite and why.. don't forget to vote. I choose the Impreza because I like the car more... although you can't tune it as much as the lancer

here its the other way around, its actually lancers that are very very common. Although its the lancer coupe GLi's not the EVO's

I personally like the Lancer's better, just cos it looks nicer, specially if you put clear tail lights with them

I personally like the Impreza better. If you take the ones that are on the same level (don't compare a regular Impreza to an Evo VIII) I think Subaru tends to be better. The last time I checked, even the OZ Lancer only had 120hp. So, I think the base Imprezas would be faster than that. Then take the RalliArt Lancer against the WRX (thats the only Lancer I could think of that wouldn't get totally creamed or cream the WRX) and I think theres no challenge there. The STi has better straight line preformance than the Evo VIII. And no, I'm not saying straight line preformance is everything, I'm just in denail that every car magazine said the Evo is funner to drive. If it really came down to it, and cash was an issue... I would go Evo. If not, STi all the way. Hood scoop big enough to engulf birds.

 

[DJ_andercore]

So, your saying that a based model lancer is only 120 hp?
Thats great because I got told somewhere that your first car has a power restriction and I think it was under 200 hp.
Are you talking about the Australian lancer?

 

[Solid Lifters]

If I had to use one, it would be the Imp. It looks better, IMO.

 

[ving]

the base model lancer he is talking about is a 1.8ltr 4cyl non turbo. it is also FWD. they can be picked up for about $18k AU. the wrx is not in this league at all.
Australia doesnt reallt get EVOs, they are secially imported i think.
I like the EVO better but thats prolly cause of it scarcity here... tho they do look good. every second car in OZ is a WRX. Ya get tired of seeing them!
Interesting statistic time:
WRX is the most stolen car in Sydney

Pretty much a decent tie for the race seem like Lancer are winning 9 to 8 so far... i choose lancer evo... cuz i just love the EVO VI but also in reminder the Subaru STI 22b is also one of my favorite... i love both car but lancer is my choice

[zeroly32]

Lancer, better acceleration default

 

[rollazn]

Are we talking about regular lancer or Evo? If its Evo vs Sti... then my choice will still be Lancer Evo... if its regular Lancer 120hp one vs 220hp WRX then my choice is no doubt the WRX...

[VG30DETT]

Yeah, I was talking about the most basic Lancer. They blow.

The STi vs. Evo in straight line preformance, the STi wins. (US Specs)

 

[toyomatt84]

Lancer vs. Porsche. Lancer won. Super Street magazine. I choose Lancer.

Maybe, but didn't the Evolution (US specs) whip the STI(US specs) on the track? You know the one with curves.

 

[VG30DETT]

I know, I know, I know. Straight line preformance is all I have to go on. As I said above, I'm still in denial that the Evo was rated better.

Matt, I think that was Vishnu's modified Evo.

 

[toyomatt84]

Still, its a fast ass car.

 

[chris100575]

My vote goes to the Evo, mainly on looks. I was watching top gear the other week and Jeremy Clarkson did a direct comparison of the Impreza 22b (if I've got the number right) and the Evo VI. There wasn't much to choose between them in terms of performance, although the Evo's active yaw control gave it the edge in corners. To quote:

"So which is the best?" <<points to both at once>> "That one."

Personally I don't like the look of the new Impreza with the round headlights, it makes it look like a Corolla.

{edit} I hadn't seen the new 2004 one when I originally posted. It looks a lot better than the previous one.

 

[Vasco]

WRX...looks and sound...and just it feels good whenever I'm using one of them.

 

[bmwx]

For the most part they seem like they are pretty even. I personally like the WRX for its speed, though it isn't much of a difference. Besides, the WRX looks a lot less like a sedan than the EVO.

 

[JoniK]

I pick Lancer. It just looks better in my opinion. Though I might be biased, since Tommi Mäkinen won 4 straight world rally championships with a Lancer..

I think that was the magazine that pissed me off. I'm not sure. It may have been another magazine. Anyway, I saw a comparison on the cover of an EVO vs. a Porsche 911, & BMW M3 or something like that. So, of course, I bought it. I got home & began reading it. It was a ****ing ricer magazine! I didn't know that. I was so ticked. The EVO won the comparison with a bunch of modifications to make it more powerful, lighter, & better handling. All the other cars were stock! Of course it ****ing won! Within 2 minutes of reading the article, I threw the damn book into the trash where it belonged. Waste of money.

RICERS MUST BURN IN HELL!!!

 

[Tazio]

Oh, by the way, I do like Lancers & wouldn't mind owning one. I just don't like that magazine.

But, I still voted Impreza.

 

[Famine]

In peer-to-peer comparisons, the Lancer Evo has always been ahead of the Impreza Turbo. The EvoVII was so far ahead of the "Bugeye" Scooby it wasn't even funny. The EvoVIII is a better car than the EvoVII, but the Impreza III (looks like a Hyundai Accent, but still better than the bugeye) is so vastly improved over the Bugeye that it makes the gap as close as it's been in recent years.

The "one-off" models are more interesting. The Catalunya whipped the EvoIII, the P1 eats EvoVs for breakfast and the 22B is what all the FQ300s have been trying to be, but failing.

My brother drives the Impreza consistently rated as the best driver's Impreza (up to the death of the Bugeye) available in the UK - the RB5 (442 examples made) - but he pulls out of the way of it's peer, the EvoVI.

The EvoII is possibly my favourite of all of them - for various reasons. The Impreza Spec C is just a different gravy, but unavailable in the UK. It would certainly whip the ass of any Evo, bar Mine's versions (and other vastly tuned cars). Anyone who tunes one themselves is a bell-end though.

But this is turning into a "Cars" debate and not a "GT3" debate. In GT3, I'd go for any Impreza, any time - I just like the look and handling more.

 

[Tazio]

For me, on GT3, it's kind of a toss-up between the two. I like 'em both. I like the Impreza more, I'm not sure why. But the Evo is available in better colors. I like the Evo VIs & the pre-Bugeyed Imprezas. It's not just the bugeyes either. The rear is pretty ugly too. Still a cool car though. Not many cars can be that ugly & still be cool.

 

[Famine]

Scooby owners split them into:

Classic - The old shape.
Bugeye - The Bugeye-shape, better back-end, awful front.
Impreza III - The new Accent-a-like.

 

[Tazio]

Actually I am a "Scooby" owner. I call mine a Sooby though. One time my car was really dirty & I wrote "Sooby Roo" in the dust. My friend's girlfriend got a big kick outta that.

The new Imprezas look okay. But, I like the 1995-98 models. That goes for the Legacy models too. I have a '98 Legacy. I wish they'd bring the B4 to this country.

 

[ving]

we have the b4 here. nice car

 

[Famine]

Lordy! What kind? Classic?

My brother's is an RB5 - classic shape, greyish paint, RB5 logos hither and thither, Prodrive Performance Pack - good for 250hp and a 5.0s flat 0-62mph. He just fitted some Brembo brakes, as the standard Scooby stoppers suck

sic moit!

oh, and its 21 all now!!!
