I have decided to sell my Evo. I have loved this car from day one, but have realized that I will not be able to drive the car the way it is supposed to be driven for quite some time.

I travel the highway 62 miles round trip for work every day... The Evo just laughs at you... it is saying PUSH ME... speed up... pass that guy... drive me like a race car. I have resisted this entire time. Every time a civic or eclipse comes up and revs thier motor, I resist street racing them... Every time someone cuts me off, I resist a quick twich of the wheel and nice pull up to 120... I have been a good boy in this car. However, unless you are planning on tracking the car... the good boy attitude turns this race car in a rough daily driver.

Then the final straw came... and new role at work that led me into more client interaction... you should see the faces when I drive a pretty high level executive to lunch in the Evo... kinda hard to explain.

I thought long and hard about what I would want in a car to replace to the Evo... (for about the same cost) and I listed... needs to be a civilized ride with good handling, have decent power (not much can match the Evo) have a well appointed interior so that I can feel good on the highway, have good looks / nice lines, and be unassuming enough that young kids won't immediately want to race me. I set off my search and I fell in love... Inifiniti G35 Coupe 6mt. WOW.

Before you bash... IT IS NOT AN EVO... it can't do 0-60 in a nanosecond or pull 15 g on the skidpad... it is isn't a race car. BUT what it is, is a very very nice luxury sports coupe that is classy and unassuming... The interior is amazing, the power delivery is soo quite and smooth, it will take some getting used to.

I have and will always love Evo's... they are AMAZING cars... I just wish that I could afford both... maybe someday I can. I will still lurk around on the sites and try to stay up with new models, etc.. I just wanted to say thanks to any and all this site that has helped me in Evo experience...

THANKS AND SO LONG
Tim

 

if u have to drive more than a person, i suggest not getting the G35. the backseats are a B^@#$. if it's just 1 person, that car rox!

enjoy

 

hey, a g35 is a step down in power but a step up in class IMO. I love those cars. If I traded my Evo, it'd be for one of those.

 

ive sat in back seat of a g35 a few times, its not that bad... im 6 feet and i was ok

 

that's why i had to sell my supra back when when i was managing....

but work should always come first.

 

I wish I can afford both too.
goodluck with the G30ride!

 

I think you should get the legacy GT. That way you are going more civilized but still keep the AWD and some power. I drove one a couple of days ago and I really liked it. They look very nice and don't have that huges wing that is probably terrifying you clients

 

sorry I only read the first half of this paragraph still like the legacy
but I don't know anything about infinity. I think I have only seen one in my life

 

i agree about the legacy GT... they are awesome cars for driving clients and having a lot of the same perks that the evo has in a bigger car.

 

and if u are carrying clients get a 4 dr

 

I agree also about legacy GT. That car is sweet and after your job changes or you get less client interaction, you could always make that car go and handle.

 

If your driving around with clients then I'd go for the legacy GT. It's roomier and like byron said you get the benefits of an AWD. It's not as fast as an evo and is more tamed. However the G35 is just sexy. I almost got one but the evo won my heart over.

 

You should wait for the new G35s to come out, they are sooo sick looking. Plus supposedly they might drop a V-8 in there.

 

yea that new legacy is sexy, i would look into that.

 

a newbie saying good bye.... alright
