Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
I like the Volvo S40 or is it the S40R? They safe have a nice ride plenty of room for 5 people. They alos have decent power and awd. Also there is a option witch you can choose a the push off a botton soft, medium, and firm suspension when you get in some twisties.

Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
i still think the m3 and the S4 are better all around cars than the evo
so baasically 3000ways, your saying that in your opinion, the evo is the best all around car? i'd put it in my top 7, so i'm not saying your an idiot for thinking that, but i disagree and sooo many others will too, meaning its not the best all around car i don't think there is one, its all a matter of opinion

You ae thinking of the S40T5, there is no R model for the S40 yet. Although, Volvo has said that they might do one if interest is high enough. |

Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
^ Thanks syr74 I agree with you drunken monkey it mostly depends on what you like and have to do with it. Some I would still say are more practical than others.

Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
and even if two people's needs are the same, they'll have different interpretations of what fulfills those needs.
stick an EVO in front of a housewife with two screaming kids and a trolley full of shopping and stick a boggo focus in front of the same woman and she'll go for the one with the bigger boot..... or something like that. well, you get my point. fast is also relative. taking the Evo again. to me, it doesn't really make sense in london, whereas something like the wonderful Mini Cooper does. do you need a sub 5 second 0-60 when the majority of cars do it in 10+ seconds and the average speed is less than 20 mph anyway? that's why the hatchback market is so big in the uk, mainly because in most cases, a simple (7/8 sec 0-60) hatchback turns out to be the best all rounder. (ST170 anyone?) add to this that they tend to to be much cheaper and it just makes even more sense. |

Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
Yeah, it's too bad that hatchbacks never really made it in America. If they did, we'd probably have the Focus RS, the Civic Type R, and the MK5 GTI by now.

I suppose you could say that the EVO has a rich history but it is dwarfed by so many others. After all the EVO has only been around since 1992. Still 200MPH from a 4cyl is impressive. Was it modded or did they just push it off a cliff? I’m just kidding but its good to hear of a Lancer that actually uses its spoiler and ground effects for something other then looks.

Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
As far as bang-for-buck, i would have to go with the SRT-4, but i would have to agree that the EVO is a good all around car, (4 doors, reasonably good gas milage, traction, preformance, etc)

Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
..then again, you don't have to spend the £40,000+ on an M3.
the 330i Sport isn't exactly a slug and it's a useful £10,000 cheaper. |

The Volvo R series would be a very good all around car.

Re: Is the EVO the best all around car?
I like the Volvo S40R as good competetion, the other Volvo in my opinion gives up way too much ground to the EVO in performance.

Well, as we already discussed above there is no Volvo S40R so it is a difficult car to like very much. There is a S40T5 awd, but the only R cars currently in Volvo's lineup are the S60R and it's wagon sibling the V70R. Other than that this was a well-rounded, attentive post....lol |
