Mitsubishi going bust gaffe - check

Sell more/More popular so must be better - check

Stripped out import track special vs uk market creature comforts model comparison - check

Come on, wheres the short fuel range? Servicing cost/frequency? Hard ride? How about some banter about 0-60 times as well? You guys are slacking!

 

ok last word , who ever has most money to waste has better/quicker car my evo 6 has 450bhp 420lbt but 28k new + 20k mods = waste of money(until you drive it)sorry even then if you have 300ish bhp evo/scooby dont spend your money on more mods when you have 450 you will want 550 its never ending + 300 bhp driven wright will keep up with the likes of me tho nobody has yet!

 

i hope you drive with more skill than you punctuate. God you are hard work.

 

 

Was waiting for that

 

There is no way mitsi would have sold as many evos in the uk as imprezas, because the evo 8 260 is the first official uk designated model All the rest have been imports including the uk supplied models from the 6 onwards.
And i have had both at the same time, sold the type r subaru a long time ago

 

I tell you what I`ll do the same "Top Gear did it so it must be right !!" test my self at a track.
I`ll put the 17" wheels and REO70`s on my WR1 so at least the tyres are a little more similar and then we`ll see which is quicker between the MR320 and WR1.
I use the 320 as they will be about the same power.

 

You like to waste money aswelll it appears!!!
I would love to drive your car if it does what you say it does???
Bet its ever so reliable.
Who carried out the mods??

 

I'll have a go in my 500+bhp RS500!!!!

Shaun.

 

I can never understand why so many Evo owners spend so much time on here defending their precious pride and joy. There must be a lot of other things they could spend their time on, like facial surgery, or new clothes?

 

Oh dear, what have I started. There's me thinking that EVO was a reasonably well respected mag with real people driving interesting cars on real roads which is what all of us are isn't it?????. All I stated was what I read and happened to agree with.

The Subaru is far easier to drive quickly and instills confidence as soon as you start off. The Evo is also very good but needs to be worked much harder to achieve the same result.....just my opinion.

One problem with the EVO V Scooby debate has been until recently all EVO's were full power group A derived cars yet scoobys had a range from relativley low powered turbos to type R's. Its made the scooby range more numerous but makes comparisons more difficult.

I actually found my EVO to be more confidence inspiring than my STi, the total lack of understeer and fantastic high speed stability was better than my current car (but I think somethings wrong with it )

 

Ever thought that could be because Mitsubishi dont make even a fraction of the numbers of cars in the first place?

Yes, they sell lots of Scoobies for a reason - they are cheap, they spunk them out of the door etc. Shall we compare residuals of the 2 similar age/model cars? Ok, no lets not - we wouldnt want to upset you lot

Because there are a quite frankly HUGE amount of people who join in these posts and 'claim' all these facts about Evo's which they havent got a clue about & most of the time are wrong

We have to come & constantly correct you lol

 

Do these posts act as some sort of magnet to you, Chris?

 

....didn't the Boxster and Clio "beat" both of them though?

 

Maybe

People need correcting

 

Yeah Dave but arent the Clio and Boxter production cars while the Type 25 is a kit car? ner ner ........ oh sxhit thats an arguement in your favour isnt it

 

What about comparing residuals on the EVO 260 and STI.......your favourite subject !

 

Oh FFS do we have to do this every week?

When i drove a scoob, it was the best car on the planet and i would defend it to the hilt. I now have an Evo and it's the best car on the planet. Who knows what will be the best car next, maybe an AWD RS Focus?

Get a grip guys, there aren't many people going to admit the Evo is the better car but they could n't afford one, or the Scoob is a better car but they needed more leg room in the rear.

 

Well neither are the best cars in the world are they? both just a quick (cheap) way for chavs to get their fish n chips

 

That's the sort of response he's after!!! As you can see by the number of my posts on here, I've been on quite a while! I've had Scoobs and they were excellent motors, I went over to evo's because I wanted a more "raw" driving experience. I still love scoobs, still like posting on here and SIDC!!, but the scoob v evo debates will go on forever mate. Scoobs are getting a bad press for the very reason you state! they're popular, there's more of them, they're cheaper!!and there are more older examples about. Don't rise to the bait so easily, and enjoy what you drive.

I have a mate who has an MR340 and I have had a lot of experience in a 5
I dont find the MR340 any better or easier to drive or less understeery than my WR1.
I have had the geom checked and have stiffer bars on etc

 

Yes you did mate, you told me last week you were thinking of selling your "Gervais" special blue rinse wagon to get a mans car like the Evo
Trouble is you'll have to loose the Bucks Fiz hair do as well as the "light on it's lofers" poof mobile if you want to be considered a real Man

 

ok.....ok.....ok.......you sussed me out.
I own up I have an MR650 on order.
Its £104k but to a man of my style its nothing.

 

I have a feling evos4ever is about 14, fantasising about the day he can start taking driving lessons.

 

Probably.
Got his info from this months Redline or Max Power.
Pink or brown.......both

 

The out the box litchfeild MY05 Spec C RA, WR1 and a FQ340 would and a very close battle but totally uninterested in Mags/TV show results. I would be concern how they suited my driving requirements and running costs.

I have limited experience driving Mitzy's but always found them easier to drive faster The Subaru gives more warning when getting near the limit, the Mitzy just keep saying go faster I need plenty of warning/leeway.

Mitzy has always been the far more capable car but now not much in it now and probablly better to spend £10K on a Mitzzy than a Scoob IMHO

but I prefer a Scoob

Tony

 

Allright tony

yeah i agree with you but i think nowerdays the scoobs coming out of japan are more than a match for the latest offerings from mitsy.(except mr400) how ever we have the type 25.... £ for£ i think we have the upper hand!!


how are you anyway?

 

I like both Scoobys and Evos but the reason I bought another Scooby over an Evo, was that Evos just arent built as good and the interiors are worse (apart from the Recaros). Although Scoobys are more common though. Unless you have a Type-R like mine!
I would have both if I could afford it though!

 

I thought they had the Ariel Atom with the K20a + Supercharger?

Who came first?
