Struggling College Student! Driving a 2016 Nissan Rogue but my dream car has been a Evo MR/GSR. Right now I would like an automatic car / daily driver so I need help for a future car idea. Remember struggling college student, so these are my ideas / options? Positive replies and suggestions are appreciated because, I need this for daily more them anything and to last me a while.

A: Lancer ES with minor upgrades, my car knowledge is very small but I have seen good gas mileage with this car. Would love a Evo body kit on the car because that's what I want basically the look ;but I don't want to be a "ricer". Ifi am being one you can let me know. Would include turbo + cold air intake and other smaller things I could learn and I'd be done just for a little faster drive.

B: Used Ralliart because it has everything I want someone I have seen is selling it for 11.5k 2010 with 78k miles on it. I would do nothing to the car but, drive it.

Hey, welcome aboard & thanks for posting

Not sure if I can help. Understand your situation / "college student". Certainly a practical car w/an automatic would be my choice. Im lucky to have a fun daily car that is an auto but have a 2006 EvO as my weekend get-a-way

A used RA might be cool but the miles are sort-of up there if youre going to DD it

Might be better to buy a brand new Toyota / Hyundai type econo car to DD while youre going to school

 

Yeah makes complete sense; the college meaning I don't have a huge budget. Would love to be in the Mitsubishi club that's why the ES was an idea and I should probably just save up for an MR not practical but it'll probably be everything I want! Just prices are a bit high

 

Youre still young so maybe waiting this out a bit would be best. Be great to get you into an EvO as your 2nd car so you can make it a toy

Heres a pic of my EvO as she sits today.

 

This is what Inspires me, the beauty of these cars as I've never driven anything probably past 200 HP it would be great thank you time to wait it out and make it an amazing car!

 

Ryan. You are correct. There is something very special about the EvO. It really is a "poors mans" super car.

I just recently had cams & a one step larger turbo installed. It dynoed at 460 wheel HP.

Its a quick car for sure. Most athletic car Ive ever driven. Athletic in the sense of, not only can it go fast in a straight line, it handles the curves as well!

Make sure you check in w/us & update us on your future project
