I bought mine because I wanted more torque/speed...my Rx8 was severely lacking in torque, yet it was horrible on gas mpg. My Evo is so much quicker and when I drive sanely I can get 22-24mpg on highway.

 

I got mine because I was tired of spinning through 3rd gear in my last car. 300hp and 290tq fwd car + not traction = slow and lame

 

I have owned a couple fun cars before the EVO. An S2000, 350Z convertible, a 3000gt vr4, and last before the evo a Ralliart. I missed the extra power and capabilities that the Evo would provide. Stock for stock the Z has more torque and better handling than the Ralliart but that didn't bother me because I knew I could mod if I wanted. I have always loved the evo and figured instead of dumping more into the ralliart I could just start fresh in the EVO. The ralliart is a rare car but to me the evo gives me the feel of an exclusive powerful car with amazing handling out of the box, just like the S2000 and Z do. Only thing is the evo has a ton more room and can actually be a family car which was plan when I switched to the ralliart.

 

What kind of car was that..

 

I got mine because it was all I could think off when I blew the engine in my 2g Eclipse, plus it can be a family which was an argument I used to ease my wifes mind into letting me spend 30k on it almost 2 weeks after buying a 2011 F150.

 

Another one to tell the wife is to ask her which other sports car has 7 airbags

 

bot my evo because i like to drive. evo is an incredibly fun car to drive. light on its feet, quick and not so ridiculously serious as a BMW (last car was a supercharged bmw 5-series).

 

It was the only car, out of everything I looked at, that I really liked driving.

 

06 sentra spec v. boosted on 9lbs. Only advantage it had over the evo was the fact that I could get 28mpg's city and 41mpg's on the highway

 

I wanted a fun daily driver. I already have a fun dry-roads car, but I needed something that I could still have a blast in the winter with.

 

Awd

 

I moved to an area that snows and I wanted a car with AWD, but still fun. Also, my NISMO 370Z was kind of a dick magnet. People eye bang the Evo a LOT LESS.

 

Got the Evo because I used to drive a 370Z (with 325 whp) and wanted more room (4 doors) and something that was cheap to mod with a high ceiling of power. The Evo fits the bill so far.. It's definately not as fast as my bolt-on Z was, but i'm sure it will be and beyond pretty soon. :P

 

Practical with 4 doors AWD so I can drive it year round in any and all weather conditions

 

Same reason I'm getting an Evo. 300 whp 360 tq and 0 traction. Plus I just want something nicer.
