I've done the evo thing a few times. I just can't love them!

What tends to happen is I find myself wanting one, buy one, like it for a month or so and then it just leaves me cold. Then I flog it, tell the mrs to remind me never to buy another. Then repeat proccess..

I find the Impreza feels faster bhp/bhp and I find them more fun. The whole kudos thing of the evo is nice when you're younger, but I can rise above that now

The engine has the soul of a sewing machine

I got bored, so sold the S202. Like all my other cars. The longest I have even owned a car is 1 year & 5 months. The S202 was a amazing car & enjoyed every second of driving it, tuning it etc. However all good things come to an end, to make way for better things.

I have also been thing about going ***** out on a classic Type R

The 22B is a awesome machine but the blue is not my fav of colours. Furthermore regarding a hatch, I would never do such a thing. It decieves the Subaru look so much & gets mistaken for Mazda 323 all the time.

There is a nice RaR on piston heads, and there is andythejock's Black spec c, you could own the RaR for a year and lose bugger all money.

Its a nice car but as you said already, a lot of money to put into a car that will be driven daily. Plus its a car you'd want to keep stock & not tamper with it.
