Do you miss what you traded in for the Evo?

93 talon tsi... Miss her everyday. Evo is better in every aspect except interior feel. But that car was my first, she popped my speed cherry.

How about our ex-VW owners in here. R32s, 337/20th GTIs/GLIs, etc. Do you cry some nights for letting them go???

I miss my Civic somewhat since it was my first car and got great gas mileage, but other than that, I love my Evo9!

I gave up a Porsche 993. I have enjoyed the Evo these last 3 years but I miss the refinement of the Porsche.

The Evo might have to be replaced by a Z4 M-Coupe. We will see

If I had my way I wouldn't sell anything, just accumulate more vehicles.
I'm with this guy. I would've never gotten rid of any of the cars I've owned. They were all cool in their own unique way and I miss all of 'em.

I miss my old 89 240sx... Took 2 years to get the R34 Skyline GT-T motor to work in there (at the time, no one knew what a 240sx was). Too bad I crashed it. It was all around a great car minus the comfort. The Evo is like a luxery car compared to my 240. Still, I spent alot of time working on it. My Evo would never compare, power-wise to my 240sx... I'm sure others would and do, but I'm probally not going to take it that far.

Close... used to have a 2001 Audi S4. I loved that car. Unfortunately, I did not choose to trade it in, it was wrecked, and after two weeks in the body shop the insurance company decided to total it.

The Evo was actually my second choice, after attempting to find another S4, but I didn't have a whole lot of time to search the country for a car in good shape.

So, yes, I miss my Audi. Yes, I love my Evo. Wish I could afford both.

i miss the driving position, and the sleakness of my 99 integra gsr. It was just sexy, and I always felt like it was built for me every time i sat in it. You look out the window, and it looks like youre sitting on the road. I just don't get that same feeling from the evo.

I miss my tuned 2002 OZ's 36 mpg and all the work I put into it, but I got a Jetta TDI as my business car now. Can't complain about an EVO a TDI and a Suzuki SV650. Although an S4 would be nice...

I sold my 05 STi to buy my 06 MR. I miss the sound of the exhaust my STi made. The exhaust on my Evo is still stock right now and I'm sure that will change soon. I mostly miss the power my STi had. I had a 55 lb turbo installed w/ many other upgrades. It ran very good and was quite fast. In the end, I just wanted something different. I plan to do alot to my Evo so it will just get faster and faster.

I'd have to say yes and no. This was my first turbo experience (ford 2.0 w/turbo at 12psi) and it was a blast! Though, getting sand into places that it shouldn’t be was never fun

I didnt get to use it much, it was just too fast for the dunes we have out here. Had to go to Oregon to really play. My neighbors never liked me when I drove it around (no muffler)

The dealership actually did take this in on trade for my Evo
