thats what it is i sometimes wonder if i should have paid the car off instead of doing a full build then i realize did not have much of a choice as i was fixing stuff and kept finding things wrong and who wants to drive a gimp evo even if its paid off lol

I'd go with a manual trans BMW for the family car, safe and solid yet enough fun for when you're by yourself

Damn...sad to hear this man. Unfortunately, i'm on the same boat as you are. I'm getting married in 2 weeks, and the wifey wants me to trade it in for a new Toyota Venza, which i'm actually kinda ok with lol, but imma try to convince her to get an Evo X MR instead...or maybe even the Evo X MR SE. hahaa.

Anyways, gud luck to you brotha!

If you cant afford the evo- for the family, then yes you should sell. But if its just a Noise-style-saftey thing the evo is a great car, and super safe. Return it to stock, and your set. I have an evo, and the wife drives a SUV. We dont trip much in my car, but I have a sweet baby seat and my 1 1/2 old daugther LOVES my car. We usually just take it out for drives. But like I said, if its a money thing and payments maint of the evo is too much, it would have to go.

i was gonna sell my evo as well. but i did decide to keep it and made it more family friendly. i put the MR suspension with swift spec Rs and it's great. and we just got her a subaru forester so everyone was happy. i think my son will love riding in the evo with his dad (me) when he gets a bit older.

I also agree the Evo is a 4 Door family sedan and a kicka## sports car all in one but family always comes first.
