The 10 is not as good as the 9 though, no matter WHAT they try and say . The 10 is more civilised, but to get this they have made it more rounded to make it appeal to a wider market, which means it's lost it's edge. It's even uglier in the flesh than you though, and it drinks even more than you do too . Jen liked the SST FQ300 though, but I thought that summed it up for me - girl's car .

You should take that dude "barryVXR" or whatever his name is that's been posted on here off detailing world (pisstake post of his OCD car cleaning) so he can check how many microns thick the paint is on the wing mirrors....
On another note, should be good, it is a TEST dive so you should just test it to see how fast it goes and handles.

Take the Prius! Then they wont' think you can drive at all or know what your on about, then on the test drive you can literally scare the fuckers half to death in the Evo!

when have you got JB's saph in? go in that, do a dirty big burnout out side the dealership and then go in and ask for a test drive


I know its not really moral to take a customers car for personal use but lets face it, its probably the easiest time the cars gonna have had for a while

100 % evo ten is a proper modern car, no lairy fins, but still looks like a rally car... awesome, do it do it!!! Best looking evo i recon. Times have moved on , liary spoilers scream 90's

To be honest I would feel a bit embaressed at times driving an evo 5 or 6 and I’m 28!!!
Don’t get me wrong evo 5 and 6 very nice at times in the right settings , but admired tooo much by fat , flat footed , asthmatic , teenagers with pizza faces

I like the Evo 9 personally... One of those will be my next car. Need to do some research first as I know sod all about Mitsubishi's... Keep seeing FQ this and MR that..whats the bloody difference....

I would go for the test drive of the 10.. There is a black one in the dealers around here and I think it looks ok...I would go in a lambo though

I didn't like the Evo X until I saw a couple and they ain't as bad I thought as in the pics. Will slowly grow on us though I reckon over time and once people start fiddling with the looks I'm sure we will see some stunners out there.

I'd say pull up in whatever car is loudest, Evo or Lambo, just to make sure they heard you coming and also make sure you arrive in a cloud of smoke

the cloud of smoke is standard on a cossie not an evo or lambo
