Default Is it worth???

I own a cossie 4x4,all these years i have changed almost everything in my car,and running perfect
But the last week,i am toying with the idea to sell it,and buying the new lancer evo x(10)!!!
Is it worth????or i will regret it.I am in delima...i found many buyers to give it for 9000euro my cossie,but i dont know if the evo x will be enough fun to drive-quick?What do you thinks folks???would you sell your cossie for a evo x??????

Where's the Evo brigade to tell you how shit Cossies are??

I'd prefer the Cossie over an Evo any day, i've got no doubts they're a better all round car but they just havent got that WOW factor for me!!

Keep the Cossie!!

evos probably the better car. but do you really want one!!!

depreciation alone means in a year or two, the evo would be worth less than what you sold the cossie for in the first place!!!! a loose loose situation!!

A Cossie holds value like nothing else. I'm not going to get into reliability... oh okay I will, the jap car will be reliable, the Cossie will break lots but be easy to fix most times

Servicing costs on an evo are expensive and i heard ya av to change the diff oils nearly every month. Always said if i not av a coss then i would av an evo, but cannot afford a good 1 and now just want to keep the coss.

buying a cossie - 8grand
modifying a cossie- 15 grand
seeing a jap car owners smile get wiped off as a 20 year old car comes past- PRICELESS





i just love the fact that my 20 year old 2 ltr turbo can whoop a big 50grand v8 car

I pissed off owners of X5/leon cupra R/celica GT(4wd)/cooper s works etc etc on my 100 mile round trip to yarmouth yesterday.
As said the cost of peeing these people off is priceless.
The one thging for me is the look on the faces as you disappear up the road leaving them for dead, and I find the car still gets looks everywhere, by young and old.
