Re: Evo Daily Driver?

I love the evo personally, and my next car is gonna be a VIII, probably an RS because I like the look better (still keeping my spyder though).
The only thing I have heard about the Evolution's reliability is the clutch. They seem to have a problem with clutch failure. I have read about this on evo forums and in magazines. In an issue of Turbo and High Tech Performance, an evo with only a few thousand miles had the clutch explode. Wierd. I don't know if these failures are a result of just crappy clutches or if it's just the way the owners drive them. This is just something to look into and think about. BTW, I have seen the Mazdaspeed 6 in a super street mag.....doesn't particularly tickle my fancy.
