thx for the comments so far..

hmm comparison........

to start with I really miss the flat 4 sound that I got from the scooby, but to be honest theres not much more.

I really was expecting to find something I didnt like about the Evo but apart from the harder ride I cant think of anything.. oh and the service schedule

the cornering/handling is not like anything I've ever driven far better in every way to my old scooby
the build quality is far superior to my old car although theres still one or two squeaks that I need to find

Performance wise I couldnt really say at the moment as I had approx 300bhp out of my car which had been modified but the Evo is modified aswell.. would have been nice to have driven both in standard form to make an opinion.

I still havent found out everything that had been done to the car before I bought it although it does have quite a few mods (the high boost button is fun )

I'm hopeing to keep this car for at least a year or two so I'm sure I'll put my personal mark on it eventually, although not in the same way as my old scoob

all in all both fantastic cars

Phil
