disappointed after owning evo?
In my 10 years of driving ive had over 10 cars, I used to buy one every year, sometimes have 2 at a time. I always tried to get a car that was better than the last. Had a few z-28's, 67 camaro, some mustangs, a cobra, a typhoon, and a TT RX-7, never thought i could get a better car than the RX-7, that was before the evo. Now that I have the EVO (and I'M defenietly keeping it) what's next? I think I may have to buy them the rest of my life, it's the most fun I've ever had in a car. Iv'e driven Vipers, 911's, Z-06's, all nice cars, but I can't afford them. What can give you this much fun for 30K? Nothing!!! I am not dissapointed in the car, just in the fact that nothing else I buy in this price range will ever be this much fun, at least not whats out there now. Look's like im an evo lifer, and that ok with me! I just love this car and I know many are probably in the same boat as me!

Well if you can buy a new car every year, sell me your evo for cheap next year lol, then buy an STI, it'll be a little (or big) step up from the evo, and will stay awd, meaning fun to drive.

STI is a step down in my book. You get the extra power but you loose the handling and it just feels sluggish to me in the turns. That why I got the evo instead.

Trueno429, wtf, drive your camry off a cliff. yeah you can kill my lancer, you have a V6. are you kidding, i know the lancer is slow and I'm not saying its fast, your post has not a damn thing to do with this thread.
Anyways, I've not driven either an Evo or STI, I just see that both are AWD but the STI has more power, but I have seen that the Evo is quicker. I prefer the evo over sti still, I was just throwing it out there.

While i agree the evo is better stock for stock then the 3rd gen RX-7.. That car is over 10 years old now.. Wait for the next wave of japanese super cars.. The Evo is just one of the 1st to come.. I think we are on the verge of a super car war 
Im so geeked about it too.. I missed the last one because of my age.. I was too young to by an FD new and had to settle on used ones. (Back then 300ZX, Supra, FD were the top dogs)
Although my FD with suspension and good rubber was def on par with the evo.
I think for the $30K range the evo is the best deal around.

thats what I am talking about. back in the day 3000GT, ttz, supra, FD. The skyline will be what 60k? Yes the FD was a handling machine but the motor was a ticking time bomb. I fall in love again every time I mod my evo. How many 450+ whp stock block STI's are running around? They are harder to mod and don't handle as well <---not my opinion, FACT!

Look for an Older M3, like a 1995 Light weight or even a late 80's model. Maybe even a Late model 740IL, such nice cars and their looks will NEVER fade.

drucea, you havent driven neither the STi or the evo and you're talking? I second you driving off the cliff in your little OZ.
I have gone through my list of top performance cars and I must say nothing yet tops the Evo. Im keeping this for awhileeeee!

Been a long fan of the skyline for years... now history will hit the US shores soon. Ill make sure nissan has my deposit.
Still, for 30k... the evo is hard to beat.
