its not even the warranty. It's the freaking dealership that doesn't know how to work on evos.

They all suck. Suck a big hairy and ugly, dripping ****

 

Personally,

I couldn't imagine having to pay for an Evo and be in college. Heck, I'm 10 years out of college and I'll just be getting an Evo (thank you grad school). My income is pretty good (not six figures good, but I have no complaints) and I wouldn't want to spend more on a car than the Evo. Just food for thought. I say keep your turbo VW. That's a pretty good car for a college student.

 

the seats are HELL after 4+ hours of straight driving

 

you got it set wrong. That seat is one of the most comfortable aftermarket seats I've sat on.

It's better than Sparco, Bride, DCD, Aerospeed, matrix X, and all other rip off and original seats.

Infinite adjustments are great. I just wish it had up and down adjustments for the seating area.

 

I came to the darkside from VW and have not regretted it since! Dude, if you've never driven one you have no idea the difference from your VW. I test drove a 2004.5 GLI and other than a nicer interior it doesn't even come close. The GLI felt like a slow soft boat compared to the EVO.

If you're seriously considering a car in this price range frive the EVO last and you'll know which to buy.

 

There has got to be at least 100 good reasons not to buy an evo,but right now I can't think of one

 

I love the Evos but maintaining warranty can become an issue. Once you modify it , the dealers are quick to void your warranty. Dodge is way ahead of the game when it comes to that. They allow you to carry the Srt-4 in, slap on all the mopar mods you want for cheap and still honor you factory warranty. Way to go.

 

Moving to FAQ's Forum.

 

The reason not to buy an evo...... the same reason not to take drugs. ITS ADDICTIVE!!!

 

Reasons to not buy an EVO...the car will consume you! There are the obvious reason a few have already mentioned, but I'll comment on the intangibles.

You'll be worried about people parking next to it. You won't want your friends eating or drinking in it. You'll be paranoid about any clank, grind, ticking, or thumping noise. You'll want to blow money to make it faster. You're constantly checking EVOm and car mags for new ideas or setups. It will consume you.

 

Thats funny because it explicitly states on mopars website http://www.mopar.com/performanceNotice.htm that putting any of the parts on voids the warranty on things that could be affected by that part. I think people have the wrong impression that by having mopar parts you still carry your entire car warranty .....

 

LOL Agreed! I'm consumed haha

 

Two words: HIGH MAINTENCE !!

 

well my gf is high maintence as well... but here is a few things to clear up the word


i graduate in may - hopefully - and i want to treat myself to something nice.
thank you for the info - it really helps - i wonder if i get rid of the wing if it turns to less attention.


somebody mentioned the r32 - nice car but the awd in that car plus only 240 hp = to my 4 banger being just as fast with a chip diverter valve and cai.
