Lovely car there mate :D

[IRLRs200]

Lovely car there mate :D

hmmm..... Evo! My next car to buy!

[Fidgits]

I was never impressed with them when i looked at buying one...

although that was a measly FQ-320, but it just seemed to be lacking, not to mention the interior of an airfix kit and the image of your average max power reader...

Great technology, but left me empty...

Evo engine and handling in my Rs = perfect car!

[P4UL T]

I was also taken for a spin in this last nite, and fook me did it go. Havnt felt power and speed like that before.

He better let me have a go when I see him next ;)

[DAZA_W]

the way these car put the power to the ground is fantastic

and handlinig round twisties

for me best all round value true supercar for very cheap nowadays

tell your mate to take you round the twisties then they come into there

own

[Tony9r]

Always preferred these to the scoobies ;)

[Bazza]

caught an old episode of top gear yesterday

when they were testing the FQ400 EVO

it kept up with a lambo on track

handled brilliantly

J.Clarkson loved it :o

but he said it came at a price

£47000 new

4 mpg

ridiculous turbo lag

unfriendly clutch

yep.....i would have one :D

[Rob]

still would prefer an RS4 - speed and practicality all in one

[Rsarin]

loads of power,great handling-would always take an M3 or rs4 over it tho for the reason that its not a car,its just a missle,although it can keep up with a lambo-it cant give you any other pleasure and how many lambos are on the road.I think its overpriced also.

[MrADeveci]

I have always loved these cars ...............

............. but it still won't keep up with my next machine ;)

a big bike im thinking?!

a mate has got an evo. there nice to look and ride in but id never have one. the amount of money u have to plow into it for service and running costs. just not worth it.

[maneesh]

Sanj,

Nice one, how many cupholders does it have?

[Mr-Lex]

Lets put it this way....It's a car you like or you don't! But believe me if do you get to drive one, than all the other things are out the picture! The POWER makes up for everything else....WOW

We had a perfect match yesterday....an RS4 (06 model)! Started from Bluewater down the A2.....never felt $hit scared in my life but yet the race (ahem ahem...mmhh...) I mean the drive was AWESOME!!! Me mate $hit hiz bricks at times...so he wasn't able to run the car to it's potentials! On straight run the evo ate the RS4...but boy does it catch up :o

caught an old episode of top gear yesterday

it kept up with a lambo on track

yeh saw that as well :D For anyone who wants to watch it again....evo v lambo

@ maneesh, you for real asking about the cupholders

if so, clicky here, think there's for two :winky:

[Noel]

Also on Top-gear... great at pulling Caravans at high speed... until the engine blew...

Personally i love the power an EVO has but looks wise it's very poor, Mitsubishi should have done alot better than that.....

The new one looks the Dogs danglers though...

lets hope they actually make it like this....

Incidentally what kind of warranty do Mitsubishi give in the UK on an EVO?

A few years back i was in a main dealers and got talking about an EVO and he told me that they could get one no problem but it wouldn't be an official product but a special order so NO warranty at all....

[Mr-Lex]

The new one loads the Dogs danglers though...

That looks B) ....is that concept 10

The new one loads the Dogs danglers though...

[Mr-Lex]

[Mr-Lex]

@ maneesh, you for real asking about the cupholders

if so, clicky here, think there's for two :winky:

p.s. @ maneesh, there's 4 cupholders in total, 2 front & 2 back :winky:

I agree that you gotta be able to put the power down.

Slightly but did anyone watch 5th gear the other day? 0-60 in a second modded Vauxhall thing - Was this car here...

I have always loved these cars ...............

............. but it still won't keep up with my next machine ;)

a big bike im thinking?!

If he passes...

In fact, can he even get on a bike???

are they of good quality? i.e. do they keep the drinks stable when you are accelerating hard?

turbo lag because he was trying to do 30mph in 5th! the lambo was about 120k aswell. you can always keep a car with a turbo in boost you just have to be a little more prepared than a super charger or N/A. I have always loved the evo, in a way it why i went for the IS. It looks similar but is refined for comfort instead of speed. the other problem is that im 23 and insurance people laugh at you when you try and get quotes and servicing every 6k is a bit of a nightmare.

but I most definatly would and maybe one day i will.

have you seen the new shape?

[Anees]

PMSL!!!

Love Maneesh's relevent and important questions about cup holders!! :lol:

[maneesh]

but it is relevant..I didn't buy a BMW 750iL as the cupholders were flimsy..what's the point of a car if your drink gets spilled when boosting? my drinks were completely stable even when I was boosting round nurburgring..
