awesome choice staffi..

love evo's!

cossies are amazing cars but can be a bit love / hate sometimes..

the evo will be more realiable and prob better to live with...but there is just something about a fast cossie that no one can ignore...unless your a twat on MLR

i recently got a 2006 EVO IX GSR in the US.

I would get the RS500 ANY TIME if it was street legal here...

RS500s are RS500s and EVOs are EVOs...

I am a cossie freak to the bone!!!

One word...

'Depreciation'...

EVO's loose money on a weekly basis.

You will never loose with an RS500 unless you do something really daft with it, aslong as you look after it you could do 10-15000 miles in it and probably still sell it for what you paid for it.

There aint many cars you can do that with in the £10-20k price bracket.

So... RS500 all the way... you could have one... run it for a year, sell it and then buy the Evo at probably 3-4k cheaper than it is now...
