Good choice!!! Enjoy it, and the community on here!! Most of us are nice and rather helpful. However, you will get a few who spend there time on hear just singing the praises of the Evo and telling you you brought the wrong car .....I'm not sure what they're playing at to be honest, don't they realise that most scooby owners are car enthusiasts generally and appreciate a good Evo as much as the next person!! We just prefer the Scooby is all!

To Be honest, their both fantastic cars. I don't like the idea od having to take the Mitsi back to the dealer every 4500 miles for a service. Are they trying to say that they are expecting a problem with these cars? If a dentist wanted to see you every 3 months for a check up, you'd start to worry for sure. (Not a brilliant comparison I know but you get the gist)!

Welcome to the Scoobynet forums....enjoy your stay.

Congratualtions on the new purchase....enjoy that too.

the Evo thing was basically that the AYC had to be serviced every 4500 which if you wanted to keep a factory warranty gets to be a PITA. If not then it is fairly simple to change yourself and stick to the normal service routine that matches a Subaru.
