I have a mini-van & the Evo (and a beater truck which is used when the Evo is waiting on parts). From time to time, we load our two boys into the rear seats. The car seats fit great in there. Now, I'm not saying I would want to drive from Phoenix to Cali, but to just scoot around town, the Evo works great!

My three yr old told me the other day that he likes with I go fast. The Evo is his favorite!

 

so you have no power until 3500 rpm, you have something wrong then..

 

not sure if i follow you, but if you are trying to say that the Evo has adequate power off boost, you're full of it...

my GLI has adequate power down low due to the fact that it's tuned for gobs of low end torque... the Evo did / was not...

 

the evo is just as good of a DD family car as that GLI imo

i bet you cant wait for the X

 

Hope to see you back soon, as your evo was one of my favs on the boards.

Hows the 7.8 second 0-60 of the GLI treating you?

lol sorry but thats just pitiful

 

Diesel, back from the dead. Glad to see everything is going well at least, aside from missing the evo. Good luck with everything and bless us with some more incredible pics as soon as you get a new evo to photograph

 

My boy will be 5 weeks old on Sunday. He's been in the car a few times, but we usually take my wifes Escape when we go just cause of the room to haul more stuff.

Damn you've had ALOT of cars in the time you got rid of your car. Sounds to me you are searching for soemthing to meet your performance needs and end up making the wrong purchase.

I don't see how you can trade or sell that many cars you've had. You've only been without your EVO for what...1.5 years? My wife would kill me if I did that.

 

probaly better than my 10 sec 0-60 Base lancer

Sad to see you parted with such a beautiful car.

Good luck with the X tho.

 

Diesel - I feel some of your pain bro. I'm on the verge of having to sell no matter what. It's the LAST thing I want to do...but life is picking otherwise for me. You're one of the old original members around here that got the first of the Evo's...we all remember you! I can't imagine being with out my Evo...but I may just have to do that.

It's always good to see you still around man...you had one of the better looking Blacks out there IMHO.

 

I feel you, since I am in the same boat as you. Got rid of mine 6 month ago for the Bmw 330i and everyday I still wish I didnt do it. But I am trying to convice the wife if we can trade the bmw for the Evo 9.
D pm you with ?

 

Ummm...if you're speaking to me as the "D" you're referring to...sure PM away

 

I meant Diesel, sorry for the miscommunication

 

np

 

I forgot what mods you had on your evo. I just went from a mild modded 03 to a new IX and the daily driver is much improved imo.

Go test drive a IX and you will see what I'm talking about. It's just better at the start of the power band.

 

By the way I thought you had S4.
