Has anyone experience owning an evo 7, i currently have a MY 03 thinking of trading it for evo is it a good idea ?

I went from a WRX (Jap old shape) to an Evo 7 last September, I don't regret it for a minute! It depends what you want from a car though, the evo is much harder, more raw than a scoob, especially compared to a new UK scoob. Be prepared for higher running costs too; insurance, servicing and fuel economy will all be harder on the pocket. The AYC oil has to be changed every 4.5k miles / 6 months, along with the engine oil. This alone cost me £220 at Roger Clark's. (similar cost to main dealer)
You will only get 160 miles or so out of a tank of super as well, the fuel tank is tiny!
However, if you can stomach the running costs, it's a cracking car. Uprate the exhaust & induction and you'll have a genuine 300bhp, which is nice!

Hope this helps!

I only service the AYc at 4500 miles, costs me £50.
