I wouldn't call the EVO a maintenance *****. I've had it a year and the only routine maintenance it has needed was a few oil changes and winter tires which are optional anyways. Of course I would definitely consider it a mod ***** since it is so easy to get extra power out of it with simple bolt-ons, or ecu tune. It is very easy to get the modding bug with the EVO.

EDIT: I got my first EVO last year at age 25, but had a few 3000GT VR-4's from age 21-25. Didn't get into too much trouble other than a few speeding tickets that just come with being a younger male driving a sporty car, but that seems routine.

 

I was 26 when I got my first Evo. I had a 2000 Turbo Civic Si that I was taking off the road for about a year and I was going to buy an used Evo as a DD....anyway someone stole my civic and with the insurance money I put it down on a at the time new 05 when they first came out. I paid it off this past November got married in December and now working on my first ankle bitter

 

got mine when i was 20

 

I bought mine when I was 18 but still haven't seen it yet.Transport truck is supposed to be delivering it on Sunday.Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i was 21

 

Got mines when i was 18. Still have it now

 

I think I was 21 when I bought mine. I'm almost 24 now. I was on R&R leave from Iraq in 2007 and was like screw it I'm going to buy a new car. Called all the dealers in Colorado, drove to Denver because they were the only dealer that had any. I bought it, parked it in Fort Collins and had it drove down here to Fayetteville, NC on a flat bad truck when I got back.

 

I got mine 3 weeks ago after I traded my IS300 in for it . Loving every moment of owning it so far , only thing I miss about my IS is the ride quality and sound .

 

I got my 9 when I was 16

 

Man alot of teenagers , including myself , got their evos at a young age . We should make a thread on if the owners paid or is currently paying for there evo . I am , still owe 5k on mine

 

Spring 2007 I got my 9 MR for $27.5k....11k on the clock... I was 24....

Its crazy how the car world evolves, prices of Evo 8's now was comparable to a Integra GSR when I was 16.... how the days have changed when you can get a car with over 100 more hp... and back than a GSR was fast in comparison

 

Got my IX new in January '07, when I was 22. My first new car. Graduated college, got a job, and went straight to the dealership.

 

im also turning 16 next year and trying to get an evo as my first car. luckily my dad used to work for Mitsu and sell them so he knows how fun they are. Hes also been around cars his whole life and hes gonna help me out with manteince and installation of mods. ive also been driving since i was like 13 with my dad and he knows im already a pretty good driver.

 

I got my Evo in May of 08 and I was only 18 at the time. I still have it and I cant stop spending money on it lol.
