Well you say that mate but reading through the thread im impressed by the honesty of most saying that the evo is the better choice... which it is of course!!
But IMO half of Cossie ownership isnt about the performance!! its about the nostalgia of owning something that we lusted after when we were young!!
The Evo, as has already been mentioned, has 15 years development on a Cossie so will of course be a better all rounder BUT will you get the same buzz everytime you open the garage door and see it???? Hell no.
When i got over the emotional loss of my 3 door lol I was quite happy not to see the oil slick on the garage floor and watching it rust away!! also with the Evo i can take it out and give it a hammering (not that i ever do really) safe in the knowledge that nothings going to break whereas the Cossie just seemed so fragile!!
