cheers jay. got to be honist i love the older shape 5/6 but i do quite a few miles so i think a newer one would be better.
quick question aswell what are the differences between a 5 and 6?
The main thing is personal preference TBH
Nicked this of a fellow forum :shock:
The differences between V and VI are as follows (extracts taken from rallycars.com);
Minor aerodynamic modifications in the engine bay include a hot air extractor placed at the front right wing. Additional cooling is provided in the engine bay by ducting on the side of the bumper and having placed the license plate in a more appropriate location. Other aerodynamic changes include a slightly modified front end including smaller fog lights, and a totally different rear, double-deck, adjustable wing.
Some of the latest versions of the Evo VI now have a unique titanium wheel turbocharger. The new device is reported to be much more keen to endure high mechanical strains and provide a very high flow rate even at extremely high rotational speeds. The titanium turbocharger is only mounted in the RS, Extreme, RS450 and TME versions. New pistons and conrods have also made their way into the 4G63
Mitsubishi engine. Add some more refined electronic engine management and you get more than 38Kgm of torque in street spec. The GSR and TME versions are reported to have an output of 280Bhp. The engine now uses a bigger oil cooler and a new water duct layout in its block to provide additional piston cooling. Just like its predecessor the Evolution VI uses an aluminum engine hood.
The suspension went through some finishing touches, when compared to that of the Evolution V. The front and rear arms are now made out of aluminum alloy and the rear suspension's roll center has been lowered. These modifications allow for greater cornering speeds as compared to those on the Evolution V.
The new car still uses Brembo calipers but this time more rigid models are used. Brake calipers use a fixed 4 pot design in the front and a fixed 2 pot design at the rear.
No changes occur in the transmission layout and design.
Finally
Mitsubishi offers the Evolution VI in a greater variety of attractive colors but loses the yellow and red and the interior and dashboard use a blue (GSR) or red (TME) instead of the grey/black in the V. A new design of OZ Racing wheels is used (Super T's rather than F1's) in the Evolution VI but maintains the dimensions used on the previous model.
There you have it, I think that's just about it.
