I didnt buy mine for looks, but since we are on the topic, I dont really like the EVO X looks at all. Looks too big and similar to a Mazda. That being said, I would still buy one since I know what it is capable of performance wise.

 

Nope not ever going to get rid of my evo=)

 

Evo will be with me forever!

 

i tried to sell mine once.. then it blew up and i put a turbo on it..

probably keep it forever

 

I'd like to keep mine for the rest of my life but am concerned about the power plant. At some point I think it would need to be converted to a turbo diesel at the very least to be feasible into the future. I have an 03 and am 28 and highly doubt I'll be driving it on gasoline if I am fortunate enough to live a long life and keep the car. I dunno, maybe ethanol would be a good alternative too but it isn't nearly as clean as biodiesel.

 

I thought I would till I drove my friends Audi. At some point I would like to see how the luxury cars feel.

 

I'll keep my evo forever, It will probably finish on a tarmac or ice raceway

 

please dont try and compare german engineering to mitsubishi.. its not even fair. of course a audi/bmw, etc is going to drive 100000000x better. its not on the same level as a evo. take them to a road course and see what happens tho.

 

The Evo is a cult classic, plain and simple.
It ages well, and I'm going to keep it.

The only reason I would even consider letting it go is I'm out car space and only for an X that I can take to the track.
Personally I'm getting tired of seeing these cars in the hands of hacks, and douche punk teens. Other than that the community is great. =D

Im keeping my AS IX for forever.

 

I have an viii shell that I will slowly build and keep until my 4 year old can drive. At that point I don't expect it to last that long. As for my IX, I imagine I will only keep it a couple years longer until my gf passes the bar and we can afford nicer cars.

 

Wasn't comparing them in any way, shape, or form. It's a different kind of nice feeling to sink into the seat of a semi-luxurious car and not feel every bump in the road, or hear the brakes at every light, or have the dash rattle, etc. If I would buy one it would be to just drive, never race.

 

ya its no comparison. feels like you're floating with a bmw/ audi vs the evo. evo is like a fast go kart and nothing more.

 

German engineering is overrated. I sold my 2007 GTI and bought my 05 Evo. I can tell you the horror stories about the only car I have ever bought new and how I spend more time driving a damn loaner hyundai sonata more then my GTI...there are a plethora of **** poor design choices by those german engineers.

 

VW has electricial issues, i dont like vw's. we have a bmw 330xi and its really nice tho. they sure do lots of weird **** tho.. like the bmw's have no dipstick and other dumb stuff.
