From 15' Sti to 16' Nismo

How does the STI compare to the Nismo and what made you make the switch?

I came back to a Nismo from an Evo X and noticed the handling, and fit and finish is so much better in the Z in stock form. Frankly, even with the turbo I found the Evo X wasn't all that great before any tuning. I also like that I can toss the car around with much more confidence that with the Evo. I know this is not a popular opinion but to quote Fifth Gear, I agree that the Evo felt like a poorly set up a front wheel drive car, that had to be over throttled to induce natural handling.

I also felt like I couldn't see anything over the massive hood of the Evo with the low seating position. However, I love the look and think the finish is gotten much better in the 2015+ WRX and STI.

Love to hear your thoughts!
