Ok, ive had loads of cars including all the cars you've mentioned above (i.e the 3 door, wrx, ML, evo) & the worst one i've ever owned was the ML! What an absolute piece of fuckin crap! I always wanted one ever since i saw it at the motorshow so i went & bought one & had it for 6 weeks & had to get rid!!
They're just boring - propper boring (especially if like me you've always had performance cars which i think you have).
The evo's the much better choice imo & im not just saying that cos ive got one as i might be selling mine very soon.
hope that helps.
