I always wanted a 350z since they came out, I then had some firsthand experience of what a stock Evo could do and suddenly It became the more responsible choice because of the four doors and awd it was a better DD

 

i test drove an sti and realized its not the car for me. felt heavy driving it and i just wasnt impressed.

at the point i knew i wanted an evo. found one that was showroom kept and bought it. best purchase i ever made. nothing like buying a brand new car for the first time

 

I saw 2 fast 2 furious. That sparked my interest. Then, a friend bought a IX MR, that I fell in love with. Bought my MR new a few months later. No other car on my mind. No regrets.

 

As the title says, what made you decide on buying an evo?
march 2001 i kept seeing evo 3, 4, 5 and 6 while i was in the philippines. after i came back to usa i searched them up on the internet and discovered the evo 7 was the latest gen. was impressed with the acd/ayc technology they demonstrated and got super excited when evo 8 finally made it to the states in 2003.

What else did you consider when you were buying?
gsx, mr2 turbo, rx7

Did you buy it new or used?
new

And do you have any regrets?
no

 

I went out for milk and a Galant, I came home with orange juice and an Evo.

 

2004

 

AWD was a must (sick of FWD understeer and terrified of RWD oversteer), capabilities surpass any other car for the same price. Also you could walk down any street in NZ and see a dozen legacys or WRXs.

Evo 6.5 TME (was getting a bit old for such an aggressive bodied car)
R34 Skyline GTR (needed 4 doors)

Used

Not one.

 

I really wanted a great AWD system and thats why I finally choose the evo... and the ability to increase HP easily..
I was looking at an STI and S4 at the time.....
Don't have any regrets anymore..... I did when my TC blew at 19K miles 100% stock

 

New England weather...

 

Saw one in college (2004) with roof racks and didn't want a Subaru. When I got my job in 2006, I took a test drive and left with it that day. Only regret was that I wish I knew how to buy a car I wanted instead of having the dealer sell me the car they wanted me to buy.

 

considered nothing else
bought new
none i knew i wanted a car i could modify with out spending a lot of money(ie modifying audi or bmw, owned an audi s4 before that and the chip alone was $800), was all wheel drive and had a manual transmission

 

What made you decide on buying an evo?
My FWD SRT-4 was starting to get boring. Also I loved the Top Gear eposide with the EVO vs the Lambo. I was looking to get competivite in autox

What else did you consider when you were buying?
Honda S2000, 350Z, STi (- I actually test drove the STi but the dealer turned me off plus on the test drive it seemed the subaru was missing top end power.)
Did you buy it new or used?
Lightly Used

And do you have any regrets?
NONE

 

what made you decide on buying an evo?
The AWD, the beauty of the car, and the Top Gear episode =]

What else did you consider when you were buying?
It was either an EVO or an STi.

Did you buy it new or used?
Used with 20k

And do you have any regrets?
Only wish i had upgraded my t-case before anything else

 

Playing gran turismo as a kid did it for me, I tried to buy one when they came to the usa in 03, but insurance price was gonna be too high at my age. Drove some hondas for a couple of years, took a ride in my friends ix mr, and it was a done deal. Got my WW ix mr, and sold everything else without ever regreting it..

 

Drove a couple Wrxs and Stis and enjoyed it but it wasn't the evo, also considered an m3 a rx7 and a new mazda speed 3

bought it used

none, don't think ill ever be able to give it up
