it will be worth it and i think the red is one of the best looking colors maybe behind blue or black tint it and it will look even better

 

I would say an EVO is definitely not the car for you.

#1 - If you have to ask, an EVO is not your cup of tea. EVOs are only for confident, decisive, performance car enthusiasts.

#2 - You feel "nervous". An EVO should only make you nervous if you are driving an STI and attempting to race said EVO.

#3 - You currently drive a Cherokee. Nuff said.

If you are sincerely interested in a vehicle upgrade, may I suggest a Cherokee SRT-8.

 

its going to be a rough ride esp since you are in NYC. I'm in nyc also and roads are terrible. Get ready for a bumpy ride. Its just my weekend warrior. I would not want it to be my dd. Good luck.

 

I am use to stiff rides. I had cars with afetrmarket suspension setups and I am not in nyc but Westchester County.

 

i have an 05 evo, and i love driving it every minute. the car is a blast to drive

 

you're considering a nice reliable accord. sounds like you've already made your decision for yourself.

 

I also don't think you are ready for an Evo, you would probably end up just killing yourself. If you don't know what an Evo is, just keep looking. Go buy a civic.

 

Half of you people are complete morons! I am asking simple advice on whether or not the car is reliable ex. tranny problems, rattling interiors, premature clutch wear, Drivetrain problems, those kinda of things. These cars cost some serious cash, my mom isn't paying for it. I am asking if people regret buying these cars due to those problems. Just because I drive a Cherokee at the moment and I suggested maybe buying something more reliable because I don't want to be working for a car for a living does not mean 1. I am going to kill myself (this is for the retart on top of me) by the way I use to track sport bikes for fun so i don't think I am going to kill myself 2. I know what an evo is I have been doing my research for several months. By the remarks you just made u sound like a real tool. Keep your stupid comments to yourself I am asking for opinions, if u can't give a descent one than save your time n don't type it in.

 

buy it. i loved my evo for the month i had it...until some jerk pulled out in front of me in a f-150

 

Have you driven it? Also are you ready for the maintenance that is required for these cars? Maybe look at getting an 03-04 should save you some cash

 

Evo is nothing like a regular Lancer. Two different worlds! I drive mine as DD and I have no problems with it at all. However, that can depend on the driver and how you use your car.

Get it! Worth it!

 

Yes I have driven 3 of them and I got a rush every time. What kinda of maintainance does it cost. Depending on what tires I figured it will cost me around 600 bucks for descent ones, brake pads I am assuming will cost me 250 the labor I can do, then the oil changes are typical for any car, what else beside the drive train and differential fluid will be maintenance. What mileage is too high for me to purchased used???

 

dont come on here asking for readily available info on reliabilty ect and then call people morons for expressing their opinions.

i might be of some help as i had 3 jeeps before my evo. if youre looking for something "reliable" and "rattle free" as you say, then maybe that nice sensible honda accord is up your alley. yes evos are entirely reliable, especially in stock form. a simple search would show threads of several 100k+ evos ect. there are also some very highly modified evos running around with 50k or more at this point too. a car is as reliable as the person maintaining it.

oil changes, tires ect all add up. so be ready. you cant go to jiffy lube for the $20 oil change like your jeep. and dont think youre going to walk into pep boys for brake pads either.

besides that, there is nothing to be worried about, but obviously, your lack of research and knowlegde of this car leads me to believe that you might be better off in something less demanding.

 

How well is it made better than the typical lancer?

 

I am not calling everybody morons, but when people say your prob going to kill youself is a little to harsh for me to sit their n take it. I respect everybodies opinion n their is a right way n a wrong way. You gave me your honest opinion in way that I did not take it to heart thank you, this is what i am looking for. To get back on topic I know pep boys n jiffy lube are not the places I am going to go. I know this car is more than average to maintain but as long as powertrain and drivetrain problems as well as miscellaneous things aren't going wrong with it I think i would appreciate it. From the reliabilty forums I have read there seems to be some issues sut as long as its not a common issue and more of a driver problem then that a different story.
