I dont know if you guys have seen this but i find it pretty interesting:

cons...u mean there r cons to having an Evo

 

they missed one Pro:
actually available in the United States without having to go through all the federalization BS.

 

That is "almost" a review. I love these lazy reviewers who will not get off thier dead butts to actually write an original report.

As far as I can tell, every single pro and con is a rehash or assumption based upon the official press release from MMC. What a waste of band width.


Speedlimit.....

 

sky-high insurance rates?!?!?!
SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

 

for the first year i doubt they will be bad...but wait till all the Evos that get wrecked and totaled...then they will jump to the moon

 

Almost seats 4.........yet I believe I read somewhere that it has more interior space than an Impreza WRX and I've seen 5 full grown adults sqeeze in one of those!

had to also throw in that 4 of them guys 6' or taller and one female.

 

will the rates be just as much as a WRX?
hey i won't wreck my car
I'm 18, and I have become very mature at driving, unlike some others i know that are my age. i've been prepping myself for the evo, such as driving the wheel with both hands since the evo will have a quick steering ratio, finding turbo timers, clearing up space in the garage for my evo, etc.

 

dose anyone know how much the insurance would be for a 17 year old with an evo?

 

My guess would be that anyone under the age of 28, or with any kind of driving record will be payin extraordinary amounts for insurance ... more than you can imagine.

 

Well, I haven't been in any wrecks (thank God), and have gotten two tickets. However, the first one got revoked because of some error on the ticket, and the second one, I'm going to defensive driving for that. Would it still be high for me? I'm paying for this car right outta my pocket.

 

Yes. it'll be high. You can bet on it being higher than the Wrx. The Evo is a more expensive car than the Wrx...and I'm pretty sure it'll sustain a higher $$ amount of damage in a frontal crash (one reason is intercooler). Parts will also be more expensive. I don't even want to guess how much it would cost to replace those aluminum fenders, hood, etc. Some insurance companies may even refuse to insure younger drivers.

 

well i am 24 and other than a random ticket every 2-4 years i am doing good on my driving record...but i would expect to my ins to go up 50-100 bucks with an evo...expect to pay corvette type ins people

 

Would it be as bad as insuring a Integra Type R?
I mean, the Evo's aren't as much of a target by thieves for parts as Hondas are.

 

im still wondering how high it would be, like in the 1000? or higher? im talking about full coverage too
