Then it's not a less expensive underdog...and reliability goes down. I've owned all 3 of these cars, STi, Evo and now the 135i. They are all fantastic cars with their own character. That said, street racing is not a good way to compare cars. You've got to get them on a track to really do it right. The Evo turns better than both, the STi digs out of a turn the best but the 135i is by far the better all around car save winter driving.
