I see now that many used EVO's are under $25,000 (US), typically not more than 50,000 miles. Currently I have two 1990 Talon Tsi's Awd. My original Talon is in great shape and I keep it looking that way.

I guess the big question is this: is the performance and quality of the EVO that much better than my old Talons? (which are great cars, but getting old and parts are getting somewhat rare (like axles).

Of course, when I get it, I'm going to want to mod it, so then why not just mod my old Talon?

I just don't know! Do you?

 

The evo is far superior, thats a no-brainer. No one know's what YOU want, more than YOU.

 

Have you driven an EVO? If so, then you know the answer. Your cars are 16 years old. Time to move on and join the dark side!!!!!

 

Drive one...I was just going through some old SCC magazines and they were talking about how to get Evo like handling out of a DSM and how they needed coilovers cause their susp travels sucks and some other misc pieces. The engine is tweaked a little more, the brakes are beefed way up from a 1st gen and the handling is night and day.

 

it's a talon on roids, all up to date parts very reliable as a daily driver and can have reiculous horsepower extracted from its factory powerplant! i love mine with all my heart i can't get enough of evos they are the best! I say DO IT!

 

Alright, I'm gonna start searching more. Thanks for the input!
