How many did really purchase the car because wanted a EVO and didn't have inuf money for it ? I know I did, Now giving the chance wolud you Keep the car and investd to make this car the fast it can be or keep on saving a and buy a EVO , what would you do?

 

evo, you know u got something special!

 

of course we all want an evo. The RA works because its got a sporty ride and has decent speed. You can always make it look like an evo and it can get to be fast. Number one reason is you have a good car you can work with, but your car insurance doesn't sky rocket. I live in Minnesota, winters are hard on your car, we use salt on the roads so you would not want to use an evo in the winter, so you'd need a winter car too. $35,000 is a lot of money for a car. I'll keep my RA and keep adding things slowly, unless I win the lottery.

 

No offense, but the Insurance for an Evo probably isnt that much higher than on a RA. I live in colorado and the winters are hard here too.... we also use salt on the roads.... You wouldn't need a winter car here if you have an Evo.

The reason you got a RA was because you didnt have enough money for and evo....but you still wanted a tuner car that can still be used for everyday driving.....

The evo is the same (a tuner car that can be used for everyday driving) its just more expensive.

 

i really wanted the evo cause here the snow starts last week and it doesn't end till after state basketball is over and thats the end of march. but the dealer wanted 44k for it and i didn't have time to go around looking at different cars, i needed one that day, mine broke down the weekend of finals

 

I guess if you really want to ride your evo in the winter, I know I wouldn't.

 

I got the RA because I wanted a sporty non-turbo compact car. It needed to be functional (4 doors, reasonable space) and quick. Non-turbo because I didn't need the insurance hike. I also knew that someday, if I really wanted, I could save up money and install a turbo.

 

why wouldnt you ride your evo in the winter? Clear bra it and it would be fine, i know of 6 people that leave theirs outside and there is no problems and with a clear-bra the car looks amazing to this day.... no reason not to its AWD comparded to FWD so it is superior to it in all ways IMO.

 

i got the RA b/c the wrx just wasn't big enough to have people in back, way to cramped, and couldn't find a turbo supra my dream car at the time

 

I got the RA cuz the sI, gt-s, specV just wasnt the total package. I would have liked to bought an evo, but than I couldnt get my dream car (Skyline GT-R), check my sig... hehe. Thing is, I wanted out of my o2 es, but still wanted the GT-R in the next 2-3 years. If I bought an evo, I couldnt afford to have 2 sports cars, so I got a RA because in its competition bracket, its the best overall car out, PERIOD. Than in o6-o7 I can have my skyline and still my RA.

I love the evo, but when it comes to a skyline... evo what, evo who?... lol.

 

I was actually looking to get a Maxima or an Acura 3.2. And then when I went to the dealership, I saw the RA in the showroom. After that it was over. My mom actually said why dont you get the RA. I looked at it and loved it. They had a black one in the showroom and it was so sexy. I didnt want black cause my previous car was black, so I got the Thunder Gray. Never been happier.

 

bought it cuz i wanted a decent mileage commuter car and a civic is too small and too slow.
only planned to keep it while i'm going to school, probably gonna get a bike in spring to satisfy speed cravings.

 

i wanted an sti, but it was kinda small and i didnt need awd since I was moving to FL at the time. the evo was nice and I had the $$, but, again, didnt need the awd and the power didnt justify the price (or the fact that i see 10 evos every day). i figured the RA had a bigger engine with a equally good design. if i needed the turbo, the extra 20% displacement would make it worth my wild and much cheaper than the evo. altho i do understand that i will go through front tires faster, its still worth it

 

i bought it cuz there was a special @ costco.. and my parents saw it. and i was just w/e about it... cuzz asian parents dont care what their kids think. haha. so i got it.. made me pay tax+tag + monthly.... and im not complaining cuz its a hot ride.

 

but the evo is one of the only cars that can out perform the skyline. I would love to buy one, but I don't think they will be what they were (GT-R). We will get the new G35 nothing close to the GT-R
