I bought both of mine, because of the fuel economy.

Ive always liked the evo, before I couldn't afford it, now that I can afford it, it was time to get rid of the srt and get another car, besides the fact that i had beat that srt like if it was stolen.

I've worked at a Mitsu dealer for years and LOVED the way the Evo drove, handled, and looked. Mitsu put an employee purchase on the IXs I just couldn't pass up. Living close to AMS only made the deal sweeter.

i always wanted an EVO 6.5 TME but couldn't get one. i prefer to only own AWD vehicles & when the EVO hit the US there was nothing else appealing. if the EVO would have never came, i would have got a WRX. for a while i had 2 EVOs but let 1 go since the family grew. = when i would valet i would park it myself cuz u know those valet kids will beat it up. instead i have no trouble valet parking the Rover

Sweet all around car. Best bang for the buck. I can drive it all year round ... it responds well to simple mods. Can't ask for more.

I was looking at EVO's and STI's. Once I saw both cars side by side I knew which one I had to have!

I saw my Evo on the show room floor when it was new, just could not afford the price on it. I have seen it around my town for years, passed the guys house and business several days a week.

Finally this Evo came within my price range. Yes it is the same evo I have seen the Carfax plus the original envelope from the purchase was in the glove box and there is only one other around and it is white.

I loved how the thing looks I sometimes go out to the garage and just stare at it for a while. I love how they can perform and after I drove the thing I knew I had to have it. The car has so many things a car person would look for. The Evos have looks, performance and handling, and they have the ability to gain power relatively easily.

Also the fact that it has four doors making it easier to get my son in the back seat. He love the car too not even two yet and tells me “go go go go “ all the time.

My purchase was definitely an upgrade in all ways except MPG but hey it is a better car.

Haha I first laid eyes on an evo when I played gran turismo 3 on my ps2...I could beat almost anthying with that car. At the time I didnt know they actually had that car here in the US until I saw them driving around.

Those rare sightings and know the performance/handling capabilities I discovered in GT3 led me to love this car.

Now that I'm making enough green I went out and bought my own.
