I think you guys have message-board-itis. Also, the type of person buying an STi and EVO are just car killers, in general, so you can't compare the numbers to that of BWM or Merc, it just doesn't work that way.
The '05 STi was, and is dead reliable, and the EJ25 with simple mods can last many years without issue. The problem is when you want to push the engine past what it should be doing, then beat on it. 375/400 in that car is plenty.

So your personal single experience trumps thousands of other people's experiences, class action lawsuits, documented failures, etc? I'm sure there are some Jeep owners that have never had issues with their vehicles but that doesn't stop Jeep from being one of the least reliable manufacturers annually.
