Need a quick answer back on the EVO 7.....as i am currently considering buying a STI 8 on a 03 plate..

How does this car compare in comparison? (just a quick short summary if possible) (power and handling)

Do the EVo's have Aircon? i see many for sale, but none state it...


Personally i think the STI 8 looks better then the EVO...howver i have not sat in an EVo so can't really comment....



Any thoughts?

Yep climate control is Air con but with a variable setting so u can have the inside of your car the temperature u want

i was talking to the boss of scoobyclinic and he said you really need to be looking at the 2.5 to be getting that much power with such little mod work

Nope but can u spend a fortune on Brake disks, clutches and 4500 service intervals on a EVO...........YES!

craig5

newage sti has the same brake's

craig5

cost of service's is a myth-my evo is just as cheap as my impreza was

craig5

and the clutch on the evo is strong as it's an exedy as standard

alloy

I've hear dof Evo clutchs going as little as 1500miles and some at 3000miles

they must just be enjoying their car then

jimi

I owened an sti for 4 years and now i have an evo8 fq320.

I would never go back to an impreza now i know how good the evo`s are.

Try out an evo you wont be dissapointed

JIM

alloy

i think you should definatly try it out, i did and didn't enjoy the drive as some other scoob owners have experienced, where as others such as Jimi love it.

It's a bit marmite / Dr. Pepper you never know till you try it.....

craig5

i'm still on a standard clutch after 20k with 400/400 -it is how you drive a car if you lauch a car all the time you will burn any clutch out in time

alloy

i agree, maybe just one or two faulty units perhaps or more likely down to the driving style

craig5

what ever you buy sam get a carbon prop for it they are a must
