im soon purchasing a used evo 6. mileage is 10,000km stock rs2. i want to know if the evo vi is worth it (around US$18,000) of converted from philippine pesos. good things and bad things about the 6?

 

the 6 is a great car especially the RS that u are getting...It's lighter than the 7-9 but with all the other goodies...
great platform to start modifying

 

18K still seems high for the year but the low miles and stock setup negate that. The Evo VI is like the V except for cosmetic stuff.

 

A local member has a 6.5 and apparently it's pretty awesome (and very well built)

 

If you are planning to bring it here to Amreica.. good luck! It will cost you more than an Evo IX. Unless you know someone who can help you get it registered and all that good stuff. If you are keeping it in the PI... get an Evo IV or V cause they are cheaper and some say lighter. Good for rally and racing. go to the Asian Forums on here and get info from some Philippine Evo owners.

 

Well Ive never been in anyother Evo but my VI but all I can say is that I love the car. If you got the $$$ I say go for it.

 

nope im leaving it here. i like the 6 more than the 5 though i can get a good deal on the 5 here also.

 

My buddy back in Istanbul has a pair of Evo VI--TME's. One is stock and one is mildly modded. These cars are amazing! Stock-for-stock, they are more exciting to drive than an Evo 8. They're noticably lighter and that AYC really works magic. I'm sure the Evo VI RS is just as much fun and can be made even faster with mild mods.

A single drive in that Evo VI--TME is what got me hooked on Evos...but I had to wait until 2003 before I could buy one of my own here in America.

For me, the Evo VI--TME is still the ultimate Evo.

this evo!? thats a evo 6 tme during a car show here in PI

 

Nice!

I'll take a nice white Evolution 5 though.

 

Ive always wanted an Evo VI but live in the US so I could never get one. I'm jealous.

 

Im only saying this cause I have a VI but cosmeticly I like the newer Evos. AYC is great but not worth having an illegal car that I'll be scared to drive in the states.

 

Evo VI RSII is one of the fastest evos...if not the fastest...'nuff said.

 

i keep thinking this thread is titled "onions and evo.."

lol

i say not worth it. too much issues, hard finding parts in the states, or find anyone who knows how to fix it right if something goes wrong.

Also, how the hell are you going to insure that?

that's not the only thing wrong with it.
