Jealouse or not wats the best car in the 35k price range... if you where given that money what would you buy??

 

^^i will have these options
1) evo X GSR
2) lexus IS350
3) evo IX

 

The question is too vague. What do you want out of your $35,000 car? Dragstrip, auto-X, cruising around town, lots of nice buttons to push, people staring at your car, reliability? If you want a fast, practical, 4-door vehicle that looks after you even if your driving skills are not that great, the Evo X might be a good choice. If you want good looks, fast in a straight line, and lots of attention, buy my Supra TT and you'll be set.
The point is, there is no best car for every situation. There are some that are good for many situations though, and the Evo is one of them.

Good luck.

 

I'd put a gigantic down payment on a GT-R ......prolly an 06 335i, X, IX, VIII, used Z06, Etc....it all depends on what you are looking for

 

another 16 year old with a evo? not your fault kid..its your parents.!! learn how to drive before you step into a car like this...

 

i say go for it. don't really think the Evo is exactly the lady getter it should be for a 16 year old. i say look into a BMW 135i, chicks will see the BMW logo and will want to drive your stick. oh yeah, the 300 hp... RWD... doesn't hurt either.

but i'd look into other cars before going with the Evo. still an X would be sweet.

 

im looking for a reliable 4 door that can handle and will be able to do auto X. Either AWD or FWD

Im not looking for a car to get chicks, i want a car that i will be able to enjoy longer then a cupple of years. Somthing that i wont grow out of and will be able to use for many years to come.

 

Is350

 

i actully am goin to downgrade myself to either the WRX or the Ralliart Lancer
Does any1 have any idea when the Ralliart lancer will be in showrooms?

 

That's silly. If someone is willing to pay your way (smart or not) who are you to deny them? Get the EVO X and just be mature about it when you drive. When I was 17 I had a sh*tbox 86 Mustang GT with a Holley 650 that was FAR more dangerous than the EVO. No traction control, hell no safety nannies whatsoever. I think the first time I stomped on the gas I left a huge cloud of smoke and ended up sideways blocking traffic 60 feet down the road. Talk about a death ride LOL.

 

haha we shall see i wan2 see what the Ralliart lancer will come out as... if it end up being a better more controled beast maybe i will get that.

 

Just remember power requires proper handling. My Legacy GT is far more dangerous than my M3 because the suspension just plain sucks. It is no different than the base Legacy and they slapped on a turbo. If you downmarket to the Ralliart chances are it will be alot like my Legacy GT which means it will have weak spring rates, crappy sways and struts. It will have lots of nose lift under power and body roll that inspires 0 confidence in hard turning and weak grip on all seasons.


The EVO is a totally neutral handling car that inspires confidence when you drive and with all the techno nannies active it will do everything to keep you firmly planted on course under power.

 

2006 honda civic Si would be good for you.

 

this makes me wanna beat the hell outta the parents, when i was shopping for a car my parent did research on the vehicle i wanted. Did i get anything fast, hell no because I had to pay for it and it had to meet my parents standards. Iam greatful they loved me enuff to make sure i was safe with a car that wasn't to powerful for me.

this is the reason my insurance went up 120 a month on my evo, and thats with a perfect record. You wanna know why it went up, because dumbass people keep wrecking them and the car's rating keeps rising. At this point it may be cheaper to insure a ferrari.
