Subaru WR1 all day long

BlueXR2

Probably a TT Supra

If i had to pick from the above it would be a pulsar as u dont see many

saph4be

22b for me or a evo8

Redkop

Evo VI if you can't afford an VIII

MattyRST

ADRENALINE KA What are they like for handling ? power ? are the evo 4/5/6 all imports ?

Magic Numbers

Evo 6 everytime

MattyRST

Looking at the evo 6 prices may be able to afford one as your talking around 6-7K but then theres a big jump for the evo 7, your talking 9K+

Redkop

6k or 7k for a VI - that can't be right as that's IV & V type money. To get a decent VI you will need to spend 10-12k at least.

MattyRST

On pistonheads im sure a 4/5/6 was around the 6-7K mark and a 7/8 was 9K or more ???

aduz

skyline far superior to all those in the poll

but a evo anyday compared to a scooby or pulsar

Stavros

JZX100 Chaser for me.

Redkop

To find a decent VIII you will be looking round the 13.5k-16k mark

MattyRST

I was looking at a 5 or 6 but if i cant afford one then ill have to have a rethink

MancDave

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 ?

Oranoco

Have to say I have a very soft spot for the Early Evo's. Seriously considering one to replace my current Audi in 2 years

Evo

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

GazzaG

Lexus IS200 Sport

Redkop

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

As Lynne as said though, a DECENT 6 you're looking @ 10-12k

MattyRST

Dont know what to buy 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

morto

evo.. all the way

All Cossies don't break you know..

Evo the 6's look fantastic,

best color hey Lyne

Nothing wrong with buying an import. My VIII was imported from new by it's previous owner and there's loads of non-UK Evos around.

Yeh ur right all cossies dont break. U just need 2 look after them. Subarus r just a posh vw Beatle (the older flat 4 engines)lol subarus blow number 3 piston cause the turbo is sat on the top of on 3 cylinder. I use my cossie twice a month for 2 weeks n i do 32mile a day.

MattyRST

staffi I see posts saying cossie broke again i know all cossies dont break but with my luck id get one that will break

MattyRST

Redkop Do Imports cost more on insurance as i wouldnt like to pay more insurance for an import when you can pay less for a uk spec

MarkTurbo

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

sideways saff

iTrader: (1)

PULSAR voted as i had a red pulsar GTiR,was about 290 bhp and was one of the best cars i've owned.... ...............apart from the chocolate gearbox that didn't like my sideway's style of driving oh and the brakes were shit !!!!!!!

MarkTurbo

Know what you mean, i'm on my 4th gearbox And ive chucked the standard brakes in the scrap bin in favour of some AP 4 pots and 330mm discs

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.

Sukhy RS

Evo 6 out the list

But any jap car it would have to be the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32, R33, R34)

Redkop

A few insurance companies will charge more for an import, but the ones that know what they're talking about won't..... as in theory ALL Evos are imports, as they aren't made in the UK, it's just that the CCC cars destined to be UK cars when new, go to Ralliart when they dock for the modifications to be done to tag it as a UK car. The same mods [for SVA] are done by whoever else imports a new Evo but these cars won't get the CCC warranty, but whether a UK car or grey import, they all arrive in this country, when new as exactly the same car. The only Evo that can't be a grey import is an Evo VIII 260, they are all tagged as UK cars. Sometimes sellers will sell UK cars at a higher price than the imports, but not all.

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

MattyRST

Redkop I got mixed up with the numbers on the evo, VI is a four i think, and i thought it was 6
