Help with decision?

Hey everyone, I'm currently in the process of trading in my 08 z for a new car. I'm looking at the genesis coupe, the 09 wrx and the EVO X of course. Right now I'm leaning towards the EVO, but can you guys tell me why I should choose it over the others?

Also, what kind of lease deals are out there right now? I know Mitsubishi is offering $3800 down and $399/mo, but do you think I can do better? There is a place near me that still has about 10 2008's on the lot.

Thanks!

The genesis coupe seems to be the same setup as your 08 Z...why would you consider this? two engine choices - 4B11 (like the Evo, but tuned differently) and a 300+ V6 RWD (like your 08 Z)...I'd hold off a bit and see what comes out down the line...IMHO...however, the Evo X is a great car.

why do you want to trade an 08 in already anyway? You're going to lose your a** on it.

Circumstances have changed since I bought the car and I need more room / a back seat.

I'd go with the WRX or Evo if you're looking for more room - a four door with almost identical horsepower as some exotics (when tuned) and you don't have to get out of your car to let passengers get out of the back seat...take them for a test drive (if you haven't already)

The 09 WRX's are faster than the STi's for about 10 grand less.

If you're looking for more room... I'd choose the 09 STI. You can fit a 42" TV on the back when the seats are fold down I like how the Evo X looks too but after test driving one, it doesn't seem to fit me. But that's me so you should just go out there and test all 3 of them and see it for yourself. GL
