if im nailing it i can kill £20 of vpower in 25mile but its not just the fuel, the insurance is half of what the evo is, servicing is cheaper and further appart.
the evo on the motorway is really tiring and uncomfortable as its reving its **** off at 90mph, where as the 6speed box in a scooby is quite high geard so it makes for better cruising.

a evo8 would be ok but i just dont like the styling, the 9s are ok but out of my price range.

My Evo 6 was standard when I bought it and had a much harder turbo-kick than any classic STi I test-drove

it shouldnt do, the evos power delivery is quite smooth compared to a scooby.

A classic STi with a zorst and a remap has a massive shove! I think standard ones are a bit stifled.

Quite addictive and gives more of a sense of power than is actually happening. I do miss that.

In my experience,and I drove a few Evo 6's, the power delivery is far more violent than my old STi 3, a much bigger shove. The Evo 8 I drove had very little shove to speak of,very smooth and linear,but not driven an STi or P1 that had as much kick as a standard 6, and now it's running 1.5bar (soon to be 1.8) I've not felt anything like it

I would understand this comment if comparing a Subaru to a Fiesta, but to a Evo 5/6 , rubbish.
