I was looking to get a sti type r but for similar money i could get an evo6. If you had a choice which one would you have?

Evo VI Best evo ever IMO.Thats just me though.
I love 6'z, even though i'm a Scooby man.
Also come's down to weather you want the higher expenses,
more regular service interval etc................

an evo 6 is a bit more money than an impreza type R,a good V5 will cost around 8.5K wont get a decent evo6 for that kinda dough,well not that ive seen

A mate of mine's got a belter in white, fsh, 65k, 367bhp and he paid 9k for it. They are out there, there just fairly hard to find.

Both cars are coming down in price quite quick now, getting a lot of car for the money! Red evo6 TME would be good but you wont get one at the price your looking at. I have always wanted a Type R impreza but there something about a white evo5 that i like. Havent really answered your question at all there haha, just confused myself more. Try and get a test drive of them both and see what you think.

I'd have to say evo for the road.

That's the toughest recent comparison, i'd have to say the Evo 6. Even better if you could get a TME in red. Pure sex!

^^^^ my thoughts aswell. Ive been looking around for type rs and they all seem to have engine rebuilds which is putting me off. The evo doesnt seem to suffer from this. And i dont want to be paying out for an engine rebuild on top of the money anitially spent.

mate if you buy one which has had the engine done and by a known tuner or the dealership themselves then dont be puit off, in a way it is the ONLY safe way to buy one as you know you will look after it and it is a horror story i have owned 5 imprezas now 2 with rebuilds and if anything they have been better.

then if you treat it right, sevice it well blah blah it will be fine imo. most go as they have not been looked after, not mapped and ran on uk fuel etc etc.

as for the evo6 when i was looking at them a fair few had suffered from there downfall and teh AYC had let go and from what i found that was not a cheap repair in some cases as much as a engine rebuildon a subaru.

but again these are just horro stories and which ever perfomance car you buy there are weak points and you can nevr really tell if you will be delt a bad hand, the nicest car, from the nicest person, with massive ammounts of history etc etc could stil be a dog, make sure whatever you do buy with your head and dont get blinded by the light of its a new car

good luck

iv had both and if you can afford the fuel get the evo ,never mind what people say about the service bills ,,i did my evo every 4k just like i did my type r and like my wr1 now

the evo will be a lot cheaper to mod aswell,,,mine was standard and to make it 360bhp cost me £900,,,compaire that to my type r £2k ish
