I love evos but for honesty you can.t beat the raw acceleration of a modded pulsar and subarus are plop unless a decent edition p1/22b/wr1/s202 and all have not too good gearboxes ?

I voted for Subaru but its probably because I bought one last year.

For everyone who says they are common, so what, I bought one because I liked it not because it was exclusive.
Why would I want an exclusive Mitsubishi Lancer

Go for an Evo 5 or 6 and if the budget will stretch go for a nice 7
I think all earlier evos were imports and the 1st UK ones were the FQ versions in the 7
sure i will be corrected if thats wrong though.
If its for everyday use get as new a model as you can afford.
I bought mine back in Jan this year and still enjoying it although i keep looking at 5 & 6 RS's and toying with the idea of getting one of those for weekend / track fun and something like an old Golf or something for everyday

It wont be used as an every day car as i have a work van, if the only evos that i can afford are imports, then i may go back to the idea of having a cossie but im so fed up of things breaking at the mo

I voted for the Evo
Ive had my gti-r about 5 years now, they're still pretty good cars but a big percentage of them these days are shitters and owned by chavs

I say a scooby, I just bought one picking it up next thursday, still keeping the cossie for fine weather driving though, I looked at evo's but found the parts prices higher and harder to get hold of than Scooby, but each to their own, as I do like both of them, it just came down to what I could get for my money and what the running costs are likely to be. Only had a WRX though as the sti was a little out of my reach unless I sold the cossie and I couldn't do that its the one car I always wanted.

My insurance company doesn't charge more for my car being a grey import, as they specialise in Evo insurance.
