Is Evo a good car for a college student?

Is Evo a good car for a college student? does anybody drive a evo to college? If you do, have anybody tried to do anything to your car?

Yes, it's good if your parents pay for everything. Otherwise, no.

As stated, it's an expensive car to own and maintain...especially with a regular college student's bank account.

It can be done, but you will need a good job and few other bad habits (you have no money to spend on random ****, just whats in the budget)

Having a job that pays for all those things while in college is damn near impossible. It's hard having a job that good AFTER college.

If you can afford it - absolutely. It's a good car for anyone. If you can't afford it, it's still a great car.

I say hell yeah! I'm in college and also working full time

A good job is needed though, minimum 30k annually.

It draws too much attention. You'll have to be careful where its parked -- especially if people nearby are consuming alcohol.
