I've had an Evo 7 fq300 and an Evo 8 mr.
Evo 5 are typically the strongest.
There basic and rattly.
Bang for buck there ok and the handling is epic..
Very reliable if maintained well.
If your not hooning around like a joy rider then everyday driving is boring.
Very bland basic interior and exterior.
Laggy unless your on boost,rubbish on fuel and maintenance costs are expensive.
I got rid of my Evo 8 last year as it really Didnt do anything for me at all.
Clutches and Diffs are common failures as I found out twice but if your looking for something quick off the mark then get a scooby.
I lent mine to Porkypaul whilst I was working on his car and even he said it was pants.
A stock 20vt will be on its bumper if on a rolling start and obliterate the Evo after 70mph.
For the money I would and did buy an Rs6.Everything on them,effortless power and one hell of a road presence.
Awesome cars.(mines for sale
