You missed out Mazda.





It is growing on me though.

This does look awesome....BUT....this is a picture of the concept car and the actual car doesn't look as good......after seeing pics of both actual cars and not concept/photoshops, I think the Impreza wins it for me.

Also.. have you read the test drives on the new eveo?

Its go so many gadgets on it that sort the whole car out for you when it all gets a bit pete tong that its almost described as driving itsself!!
(With all due respect i have not drivin one) but that takes away the fun of actually driving a bit for me. The new engine is ally and nowhere near as strong as the old unit, and the new evo also wears a semi auto box.

Performance figures such as the haloed 0-62 time is way down on the old evo too.

Evo concept.. stunning
Evo actually??? Cant say im too impressed to be honest

White is so overdone now. You feel like a proper pillock driving. I prefer the colour to be subtle. Hate blue, white as per above, red - only red car allowed on the roads should be a ferrari ... black the only real option left.

It's nothing personal ... just like red only on certain cars. Just like yellow etc etc etc.

Congrats on front page feature by the way.


Phil. Yes! You're not the only person with contacts.

I won't even pretend to have got near a Sti Mate

As far as I was aware the final product hasn't made it to these shores yet hence my reference to Japan

But I am not going to call you a liar. Pleased your happy with what you have seen as I have never had any doubts it will be my next car

Going to disagree on colour as White will be my choice although Black does look good in the pictures above.



See you soon my little blue friend

Not to me it doesn't.

Arches aren't as flared.
Wheels are much smaller and make the car look massive.
Headlights are bigger and don't look as aggressive.
The bit of the bonnet between the headlights is different.

I think you made the right choice, going for SIDC graphics on it again? I think it really makes your current car look great
