Hey all!!

[Ashley]

Hey, my name is Ashley (if you haven't worked that out ) and I am from Cambridge oh and I am 22.

My dream is to own an evo and I am getting closer to getting it. I currently drive an Astra 1.8 2007 I am aiming to have one before I turn 23 in nov or just after but definitely before Christmas!

But I don't know the differences...

I know GSR is the top luxury spec with air con etc. And MR is the race spec....but what is FQ and any others I missed?

Also, I am new to buying cars will a car showroom let me take one for a drive?

Secondly what's the best one for around 10k? I know this may spark off a big debate but I want performance and a little comfort, air con would be nice i don't mind lower spec if it can be 'unlocked' as nothing ever stays standard in my hands

That's all from me for now, cya

Hi and welcome. With your budget I'd say go for a good Tommi Makinen Edition (Evo 6) as they are the best at holding value. The other would be to get an evo 8 fq300 or a gsr 260. The 260 can get easily be tuned upto around 360hp

RS is a lightweight version, If you do a search, there is a link on the sight which describes all the different models and there differences.

The first one I saw was an Viii so I have a soft spot for them...but them I am partial to a special edition!

Nice one mate, I couldn't find the link!

 

[Ashley]

Awesome cheers! The tommi one seems a little too rare. But I like the sound of the RSX or extreme models. Or if I can get a GSR 260 and bump to 360 easy then that is definitely an option!

Welcome along matey I assume your a he and not a she, I apologise if its the later.
As already said go for a Tommi in red ad they are the best at holding value. If you want a later model then an 8 or 9 mr would be the one to go for

Hiya and welcome along I would say 8 mr but that's cos I want one but the 6's are just as nice, and the gsr have air con for a fraction of ur budget which leaves u with plenty of spends to do it up but take ur time and look around before u buy, also this site has a few for sale.

Welcome along matey. I would say an 8 not biased at all

 

[Ashley]

Cheers guys. I'm going to see if I can test drive a couple. Then I can 'feel' the differences
