Unhappy the evo viii??

ok guys, if you had the chance to trade in your baby (eclipse gst) to get a brand new evo, would you do it? how reliable is it? is it worth the money...do you think there are any long term problems with the evo? please respond asap, i might go get it on monday and i dont want to have any regrets.

Re: the evo viii??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You're asking if your FF 4g63 is worth trading it in for a brand spank' new AWD 4g63 BEAST?!

DO IT! DONT ASK QUESTIONS! DO IT!

AND POST PICTURES!

as for reliability - same as your car. It's the same damn engine man. Evo's a race bred cars...they're made to take punishment.

Re: the evo viii??

why would the evo let you down?

if you're afraid that a warrantied AWD turbo vehicle, brand new no problems is going to let you down.. don't get it.

Re: the evo viii??

You'll be happy with the EVO. Just think of it as a GSX with less problems, and a stock turbo capable of voiding your warranty faster than you can get it to the track. I'm not positive but i'd say you could get 350whp out of that puppy easy

Re: the evo viii??

I would save 12-14 grand and get a 2g, then put that saved cash into mods instead of car payments, but thats just me If I had my way, I would have a stock EVO (ok, maybe an exhaust at least) as my daily driver/winter beater, and the DSM as my "fun" car.

Re: the evo viii??

a stock evo as a beater and a dsm as a fun car?

It should be the other way around friend ... no one in their right mind drives an engine tuned to be worth it's weight in gold as a beater... with the younger brother of that car as a fun car...
