Beware those turning to the dark side
Spoke to a lad last night who's Dad works for Mitzi...
Apparently they've got 100's of Evo X's all sat at docks unsold... most approaching 2 years old now.. so if you're thinking of an Evo X for chirstmas you'll probably be getting a 2 year old one with a shiny new reg plate on it..
They're even letting lower level employee's have them as company cars for £220 per month... something previously reserved for higher management..

This is suspect is one of the very reasons why they were offering them with 0% finance recently that and there has been a marked shift of late, for obvious reasons I guess against the £400+ L/M tax bracket of vehicle.

Like the Impreza, the Evo's time is past.
They can't sell them for good reasons. High tax, low mpg, sh!tty residuals, and awfull looks.
Plus, compared to the competition, they just aren't much quicker, if at all.
Isn't a Focus RS500 quiter than the Impreza Cosworth apart from the 0-60 time? £50k to beat a Focus at the Traffic lights.

Mine would murder a Focus from the lights

Friends Uncle bought a Focus RS, paint started to peel off the reaer arches leading to rust, not even a year old
I am sure they are having the same issue with the hatch impreza, old models with newer plates on them.

No worries forged 2.5 is in now sitting at a moderate 400bhp 430 ft/lbs until new year
