well, i hear your pain brother. everyone has a right to a discision, i havent went through all 11 pages but i did read the first post that you were tired of the evo and decided to leave the mitsu world. but as far as hopping over to VW land, dude i heard one to many horror stories as well about them. good luck with everything though.

 

And a better choice would have been what?

 

I too bought my car expecting no warranty. I am actually waiting for parts to break so I can replace them with better performance parts!

 

Just let this tread die!!
Let those who buy cars for it's warranty chose their prefered car warranty.

For those who did not buy Evo because of warranty, let us enjoy the engineering marvel from Mitsubishi. Because this may be one of the last supercar from japan.

 

Gosh even you missed the point. The decision and the thread was about selling the supercar because of the bad customer service AND tha fact that it had no warranty any more. The choice to go to a new car WITH a warranty was made to HAVE a warranty and not at all a choice about a better car or better warranty.

I have no problem with the thread dying BUT after 12 pages of people telling what I did wrong AND that I purchased the wrong car I'd like to see what everyone WOULD have done and what car they would have purchased.

 

well if your asking me this, definetly not a VW. i've heard way too many problems with trannies and turbos and what not. i mean you want to go and stay in the boost gamei definetly wouldnt go with a vw, and you want to stay away from mitsu, try subaru possibly used srt-4, or get outa the turbo field and go S/C you have the mustang cobra, chevy cobalt. there are many options to think about

 

As I mentioned All-Wheel is a must and at least the basic luxuries like a Sun-roof are a must. That locks out SRT-4 and STI.
Once you lock it down to All-wheel the choices are VERY limited.

 

basically he wants a reliable AWD high performance car with a sunroof and luxury that has and a solid honorable warranty with no hassle...? something not very common.

so buy an STi and cut a sunroof into it

 

FWIW, I think you made a very good choice. The R32 is a great car. Given your constraints and preferences, I would have done the same thing. I can' be believe that agriculturally inspired machinery like the Cobalt and a SRT-4 are mentioned in the same breath as the Evo and R32. It's as if actually driving the car takes second place to looking at its specs.

All this said, you probably expected much of reaction you received. I can't blame you for posting and having some fun with this. I think that you know as well as I do that this forum is mostly populated by lifestyle buyers; kids whose main orientation lies in the Sport Compact scene - pilots they are not <grin>. Street cred and bragging rights all take precedent.

 

jesus... get over your whole negativity towards "lifestyle buyers", more than half the people that buy cars are "lifestyle buyers". you have beaten that topic to death in numerous threads

 

Please, call me by my username.

More than half the people who buy cars don't purchase street legal rally machines. There's nothing wrong with being a lifestyle buyer. It's just that the outlook (ie. the ultimate meaning of the driving experience) isn't the same as a high-performance buyer's, even though it often masquerades as such. That's the point.

 

... is a nice alternative

 

I'm parting out my Evo not because of problems but because of an accident, my replacement its going to be a 2007 BMW M3 in metallic black w/ competition package and manual tranny!

 

FJF .

Youre a person who likes to place stereotypes on people and You make it out to seem like every single young kid that has an evo with a wing or that in not an RS is the bad guy. Why are you so intimidated by us young kids that have cars that are just as nice as yours ? or is that youre reasoning in itself ? Are you frustrated by the young kids who have the same car and are in the same class as you ? grow up.


from a previous thread...

 

You obviously don't live up to your username

But anyways I don't think it's such a good idea to get ready for a car that no one really has any solid details on. For all we know the new m3 could be really bad (doubt it but it's possible).
