Owned a few Evo's over the years. They handle so well, much better then any Subaru I have owned and there have so much road presence. But I have always found them quite boring to drive even when they have been running 400bhp(hard to believe) But the power delivery seems quite smooth and you dont realise how quick you are actually doing until you look at the speedo.

I always say that I will never have another Evo. But I cant help looking through the classifieds on pistonheads at the moment, and again Im torn between another Evo or another STi???

I know what your saying, when i used to track my RA it never left open diff(the only way to drive it) I knew where the traction breaking point of that car was so never over stepped that mark, if i did it would of bitten me in the ****.

Having been out today in this car it just seems to egg you on to push harder through the corners.....There is only one way to find this car out and thats to track this one also...

When I sold my RA, I couldn't decide between Evo or Subaru until I tested 2 400+ cars back to back.... Not sure why but the Subaru won for me

Looks mint Jay

It's a shame the interior has the Evo V logo on it. It would probably look ok in a Yellow V or Black V/VI/VII/VII

Enjoy your purchase. I've just sold an Evo after 4 years and 60k of ownership. Never ceased to smile whenever I took it for a drive. Still miss it now.

Get yourself onto the MLR pal. Great place!
