yeah i hear ya, but i don't want to deal with a stick - the drive to work can be a crawl sometimes. STI needs a DSG!!! not even sure how much power the CVT can hold - i'd definitely would be doing at least a stage 2 on it to keep it somewhat comparable to how the Evo feels .... assuming it can safely handle it without blowing up.
i was set on a 996 turbo, but reliable Japanese cars have made me lazy. plus they get around 13mpg city - which is what i'd be getting 98% of the time.

i wish i would have installed a backup camera in the Evo when i got it. i'm not going to bother at this point, but the high belt line and not-so-great turning radius make parking it a pain sometimes.
