EVO vs GTO?

My friend is buying a car and is trying to decide between a GTO or a EVO. What do you guys think? I cant decide because I like both cars and they both have their own strong areas.

The GTO would probably make a better DD overall. Maybe the Evo as a "weekend car" or something. GTO has more stock power, but the Evo can be built to handle more power. Really hard to say no to either one.

id pick the GTO, i havent heard too many good things about the evo tranny and only so-so reliability.

Reliability does not matter to the enthusiast. How the hell do you think there is still MG's left?


GTO though, it's much cooler and since 3 were destroyed in Transformers, that leaves like 2 left, probably.

Fan of the power the GTO can produce, but if given the choice i would pick the evo. Mostly because my car is not only a project but also a daily driver. The evo has 4 doors and can become quite fast, and not just in a stright line.

well he did not mention if it was going to be a daily driver or not. in my opinion having a bad ass car is pointless if it just sits in your driveway...

Well I'm a fan of tuner cars, so... I say Evo all the way. It's a DD car in my opinion, It's a AWD, turbo charged, 4 door sedan. If reliability not an issue with you the Evo will satisfy your friend.
I test drove the GTO when it came out and it felt cramped. I'm about 6 feet and the roof was all over me, the power was there, all 400 hp. It was nice but not my cup of soup.
