Hmmmm...

EVO is a nice track/rally car. I've driven my friends modified EVO 9, and its nice. The only thing I don't like about it is its boy-racer image and that its not such a great daily driver.

Evo's have always had a ton of potential.

I like the new EVO's; I think it looks less boy-racer, and has a more sophisticated image.

Anyhow, good luck with your choice!

Hehe, I tried a launch, and I think I snapped my back in two pieces

Nice car, just isn't for me.

Not a big fan of the evo...to much hype in my opinion. I would go with a STI over a EVO anyday, but to each their own, right?

had an evo8 w/ turboback exhaust, ecu flash, volks...for about a year. It was pretty quick but would never get one again for a daily driver. The inside just feels and looks like a car from the early 90s! (not the seats, but practically everything else) Also Mitsubishi service is known for being terrible. Had an intermittent grind from 2nd to 3rd since I had the car, which they refused to do anything about, saying they couldn't replicate the problem on a 2 minute test drive they did! When I first purchased the car, the suspension was so stiff it felt like i was on tracks! (not a good thing) took over 2 weeks just to get used to. Once I got the G, I never looked back...and couldnt be happier. To each their own of course, just thought I'd add in my 2 cents from being an evo to g35 owner.
