I want an evo sooo bad!

Im 19, the insurance is im sure through the roof, gas prices and mpg suck on it. But to actually own a fast car, that would make driving everyday fun and new.
I want an Evo 9!

I wouldn't, not in this time of things. Unless your not from the states.

I hate to say, but i fear i'm going to regret in a few months for singing those papers on my loan.

I saw a new one the other day and I was impressed. Looked like it was flying just sitting there.

Evo IX SE or MR > Evo X
i'd love to have a Rally Red or Graphite Gray Pearl one myself.

just my 2 cents.

just be prepared for shoddy Mitsu build quality, issues with warranty should you choose to mod it (who DOESN'T really!?!?), worst turn-radius of pretty much any car that i know of, the attn to detail DEMANDED for maintaining the car or else, lots of attn from police given your age, & the temptation to street race with damn near anything on the road.

lol good luck if you choose to go thru with the purchase. i'd love one too but i <3 my Si for now.

Theres your first mistake. Kids owning a fast car is just what we need in this time and age. My homie already crashed his evoIX and he just turned 20. Theres no way you can legally take advantage of a fast car, so why own one? The EVO is a track car, and not a daily driver which is where most people have their problems. Sure it "can" be fast if the driver knew how to drive it, but dont be surprised if a 5k EG hatch rips you a new one. youre 19, get a practical car and be satisfied please.

get the greddy kit or do your own turbo kit and wave bye bye to all the evos running 22lbs and your only running 8. . .EVOS ARE TURDS IF YOU REALLY STOP AND THINK

EVO=22lbs making 280hp

civic si na same size motor makes 200. . .get a turbo or sc kit and call it a day
