HI EVERYONE!!! MY NAME IS ZAHER AND I JUST CAME OVER HERE FROM IWSTI AND NASIOC. I JUST WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING..."I LOVE EVOS!!!" I USED TO BE IN LOVE WITH SUBYS (STI) AND IT JUST HIT ME THAT THE 2004 LANCER WAS MY FIRST LOVE. I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME. NE WAZ, IM 15 AND I WANT A 2006-2007 EVO IX SOMETIME MAYBE AFTER I GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL OR AFTER COLLEGE I DONT WANT AN EVO TOO SOON SO THAT I WRECK IT BUT I WANT ONE SOON AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT AGE IS JUST RIGHT FOR THIS CAR. RIGHT NOW I AM PLANNING ON GETTING A ECLIPSE GSX FOR MY FIRST CAR IN 5 MONTHS TO HELP ME PREPARE FOR THE EVO. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY TIP TO HELP ME IN THE FUTURE??? THANX!!! ZATcarkid

 

nice man... i bought mine when i was 19 now 21... my roomate used to have a 30r 425 wheel sti... very nice... pretty strong... love both cars... but nothing is like feeling 30psi in a 4g63 my man

funny... i am about to sell a black 1g gsx

 

wow it is loud in here... im out of here

 

Honestly the Evo is a great car even if its your first, its all up to the driver on how you wants to drive it. Good luck!

 

Couldn't of said it better myself. As a proud new owner of a Evo IX, I hope you get one As for many young fellas that I knew who were able to get an Evo at 17-18, wrecked them. When you're inexperienced and feel comfortable with the car is when you're the most dangerous.
Good luck, drive safe

 

Wouldn't you actually have to own a Suby first to transfer from it?

and there is no way in hell a 15 year old can handle a car like an Evo as their first. They have no driving experience, and are stupid and impressionable by their friends. The Evo has crazy limits, so you are pretty much guaranteed to die if you cross them.

The only way my son would get a car like this would be if he was Louis Hamilton.

 

THANX MAN!!! i was on IWSTI and they all said that the STI was "too powerful for someone your age... blah blah blah" You just made me like you EVO guys SOOOOOOO much more!!! You guys are sooo much more mature!!!

 

I transferred from likeing them, not having one. I am actually a very responsible kid and i would never do anything too crazy to kill myself (unless im feeling kinda EMO :LOL). I get good grades and everything- i definately think i deserve the car that i want. Im even a top student in my class (class of 2011) right now. Also, ive tried driving my moms 96 200sx and im actually a decent driver so far- i havent even taken drivers ed yet.

 

THANX!!! you just made my day!!! when i finally get my IX ill be thinking of you!!! I wont want one till at least 18 or almost 19 though with gas prices as high as they are now. How much do you pay to maintain and gas up your EVO??? is it alot???

 

Not to be a dick, you're 15, don't have your license and planning to get your Evo after HS/College? That's insane, don't even think about Evos at your age. You'll get into an accident instantly, there's somethings that you have to be aware about driving a 300+HP car.

You know how to drive stick?
Have you had experience driving rush hour times?
The Evo is a gas guzzler, so once your parents stop nurturing you, it's going to hurt the wallet, also the maintenance.
If you get your GSX, it's equally dangerous, AWD Turbocharged DSM as a first car, sick.

I suggest getting a beater Civic to gain more experience in certain situations bro, good luck!

 

I've had my evo since I was 17 and now im almost 19. But I pay every penny for it. The only way I was able to afford it was becuase I was on work study while I was in school

 

ok guys ive figured everything out!!! Im gonna get the 4g Eclipse GT and keep that for a while then when I think im ready, ill sell and get an X MR or an IX MR. I saw a couple 4g's in Auto Trader for like 10k!!!

 

My best advice to you is to NOT start out with an Evo. Get that Eclipse first. The Evo is a lot of car, especially for inexperienced drivers. It's a lot of car for even some of the best drivers. It can easily get away from you while you're driving and you need to be on top of it.

I also advise reading everything you can about the evo. The more you know about the mechanics of the car, the better the car will work for you. Read about maintenance too... there is nothing more frustrating than losing a transfer case cause of not using proper fluid / maintenance.

Half of the fun is knowing about them. Have fun and most importantly no matter what

DRIVE SAFE!!!

 

to each his own but personally i wouldn't get the evo at your age or you know what i worded that wrong, wait until you have several years of driving experience then you can get it, an evo is so much car... good luck though

 

some of you people need to stop ragging on this kid for wanting an evo. hes 15 he can have dreams. and not everyone who is young is a horrible driver. im only 19 and i drive an evo. i dont drive it irresponsibly at all. maybe its because i pay for every penny of my car and i dont want anything bad to happen to the car. granted yes having an evo as your first car is not a smart move but he can still think of owning one in the future. hes obviously on this site to learn more about the car and get opinions from people about the car, and not to say hes going to drive on the second he gets his liscence
