bad - marginal build quality, rust problems, high insurance, premium gas, attract lots of attention from police, mitsu likes voiding thier warantees.

Re: Evo8 good and bads?

i've never heard anyting about rust problems, but there are a fair share of downsides to the evo. all of with drdisque said and then; clutches usually go before 15k miles unless you granny the shit out of it, you have riced out hondas harassing you, (happened both times i was out with my friend is his evo).

but the upside is acceleration puches you into the seat, fantastic handling, more functional as an everyday car than most sport coupes (and it can out perform most of them too)

Re: Evo8 good and bads?

When you think about performance, and bang for buck, they are pretty cheap. They can match the performance of lots of more expensive cars, like Corvettes, and Stangs. That other guy was an idiot, and he can take his 91 Civic Hatch (if I drove that I wouldnt call other cars shitty) and stick it up his ass.....
