Torn between Evo 6.5 and Evo 7

Whats going on guys, Im moving back to Hong Kong in 2 months and im torn between 2 cars.

Evo 6.5 TME or Evo 7.

I love the exterior of the evo6, but interior is a little too old for my taste. The evo7 has a better interior but exterior is too bland.

Evo 7 seems better since most parts are interchangeable with 8 and 9. Evo 6 was one of my dream cars since i was a little kid (i have bigger dreams now lol, but i still want it)

Give me your opinions!


Im sure you all know what they look like but heres a picture anyway.

Evo 6.5



Evo 7

I'd go with the 6.5 TME, but that's just me. Then again, I enjoy aggressive cars that are more race than luxury.

I dont think you would be wrong picking either but I would pick the 7 for a point you mentioned already, part interchangeability with 8's and 9's. Not to mention that the 7 looks absolutely sick!

You really can't go wrong with either. They're both great cars. It's YOUR money and YOUR decision, so you pick which one you want.

I would personally go with the VII though.

if you got the tme 6.5 and not the rs, the seats are just like the evo 9 and more, a lower legs bolster that you can adjust. the dash and steering are all custom evo parts, momo steering, etc. I would go with the tme. read the tme comparison on the front page of this site.

If it helps your decision, I own a V (CP9A) and IX (CT9A) and I love my IX a lot more than my V. I know their not your choices, but they're pretty similar..

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm torn between a V, VI and VII. Still haven't made up my mind yet.

I love the aggressiveness of the V and VI but the VII interior is so much nicer. Besides the Recaros, the V and VI interior is worse than my Civic.

Wow, you're lucky to even have the option of either. I'd choose a 7 for interchangeability reasons though..

I would choose a 9 over it but not a 7... 9's are a totally different beast!! 7's are plain jane!! pointy nose and ugly rear wing!!
