I own an Evo 4 .duration 6 months.I rate my Evo because i did not pay big money for it and it is the fastest car in my town and in excellent condition.only one problem so far was the gear linkage cable broke after letting a relative delve it.cost to fix €100.

well ive had evo 4's for quite some time now and ive had 3 scoobys and a couple nissans to be honest im an evo man through and through i think if you was to snap me in half id have evo wrote inside me lol anyways i used to love the sound of a scooby nothing like it i always said if you could have an evo that sounded like a scooby youd have one of the best cars out there but im unfortunatly driving around in a 51 plate impreza bugeye wagon that im going to sell soon thank god as the sound is driving me crazy now and apart from the sound it handles like a boat as have all my scoobys, you can drive them so easy they nearly drive themselvs where as an evo you feel like part off the car probably the difference between an old volvo and an escort mk1 im so sure with the evo on every bend i come to you know if your going to fast to slow if its slipery and everything but the scooby i think i would crash and think ohhh what happened there lol i would say the only thing that lets the evo down would be its crappy engine design i know its everyones own opinion and many would not agree with me but what the hell is all that crank walk about lmaooo surely they thought bout that when they was designing the engines or did they let a 4 year old do it let see how it goes lol ohhhh my clutch is slipping i better get a new one in there mmmm what should i get yes i know that uprated one there looks good that should hold th bhp well brumm brummm this sounds good ..........2 months later oh why did my car conk out oh dear why is my crank sensor laying on the floor doh i must have crank walk lollollol and lets have a nice tappy engine with them standard lash ajusters yes thats better it realy sounds like a fiesta popula now lol and what hapened with the good old push clutches in cars ohhhhhh my god i wont even get started there lol... i have just recently started rebuilding evo engins up like i say bit more thought should have gone into them i think maybe the new ones are alot better i cant comment on that as i dont realy know.. scoobys performance is rather rubish if you ask me ive had 3 now and there like trying to sit on a sack of potatoes and expecting it to do 60mph scoobys are not bad mid range but thats bout it bottom end it usless always changing down the gears lol the evo would go up a mountain in 5th lol.. as for nissans im not over keen on them to be honest they are over rated over weight over priced and over the amount i would want to spend on insurance lol BUT blody ace to have a play in lol the engines are fantastic simple look good and sound great have good top end good mid range and bottom end compared to scoobys and evos i think the engines are indistructable.. i know they still go wrong but just look at the abuse they can handle lol so to sum it up i think if they had nissan to deign an engine and it was in an evo shell that would do me oh yeah i nearly forgot and made the car so you could go from 4wd to rwd mmmm yeah thats my opinion anyway

Evo VIII, IX FQ 340, and at the moment Evo X FQ330 SST
Have bought all three brand new - had the VIII & IX for around 30 months each. The X is only 12 weeks or so old.
These cars just blow me away - what else has that acceleration?? I just cant afford a Lambo or a Veyron lol.
These boy racers who pull alongside givin it 'all that' cant believe their eyes!!!! I am a 57 yr old grandmother (who incidently has worn very well for her age!) who will take her Evo to the edge if upset lol - have driven around Brands and Silverstone - in my younger days did a bit of rallying.

I have an Evo 5 (best one obviously ;))
I have owned it a year
Cost so far, not much only the usual maintenance :D
The reason i bought it was because it's not your typical girly car, i love its looks and just when you think you can actually man it, it does something to let you know that it will kill you if you disrespect it lol :p

I said it before and I will say it again, the skyline is daddy but the evo is mummy! I had them all but an evo is what I would buy with my own money!
