i\'d agree with lee mills: you\'d get bored of owning an evo.....and then you\'d end up buying one of these anyway. if you want a fast saloon car, then buy the evo. if you want a fast sports car, then buy one of these.....

turbo rwd and no traction. theres nothing more fun. sometimes its good to have wheelspin at the back unlike an evo. its a challange ;)

ive got an evo 4 at the moment, amazing car, but you cant compare the two.
one is a road going rally car the other is a light weight rwd racer.
it depends what you wont. im planning to get a rx as a track car and keep the evo for day to day use.

sod the evo dude its gay wheel drive !

Evo\'s are just plain boring to drive, no fun at all. Look like buses and will cost more to repair than a FD. They are turning into Scooby mondeos.

You will haveto pay £££££££ to highly tune an evo

4WD are for pussies...
I have never considered getting an Evo... the only reason people drive 4WDs is because they are too scared of a high powered RWD drive.. then they come out with the excuse that they like 4WD more... please your balls aren\'t strong enough lol

lol this is a good thread, i have considered buying a evo or something like that as my next car but every time i come back to a rx7, evo\'s are nice cars but like people have said above i think i would get bored very quickly.
The way i see it is 4wd and front wheel drive are easy to drive and are very easy for anyone to corner and drive well, where rwd takes alot more skill to drive hard, if you can get it right rwd wins :yes

Is that experiance talking ? wat performance cars have you had ?

yea i know generally it takes more skill to drive a RWD car, but all im interested in is quick countryside driving and taking corners at crazy speeds

then the evo is for you :D my step brother had an Evo 6 that he sent to rally art and came back with 400bhp and that was an absolutly stupidly fast car round corners and straight,as a young lad i used to be really scared didnt like going out with him, but he was going through a set of tyres every 3 month and the cluch was the WORST round town it was really really poor. sort of like all or nothing.

I\'ve had 2 x RX7s and 1 x Evo 6.5 Tommi Makinen. I returned to a RX7 from the Evo for a number of reasons. Firstly the 7 is undeniably the most beautiful car to have come out of Japan - how many other 17 year old car designs have stood up to that test of time ? Secondly, the Evo is too much like driving a car simulator or a console game - yes, it\'s fast, but it doesn\'t feel as fast as the 7, cornering requires no skill, getting the best out of it just requires you to plant your foot and that\'s it. Lastly the Evo just attracts a different crowd of people than the 7 - no disrespect intended, but you get the all the hoodies and Nova brigade "bigging you up" all the time, whereas the 7 attracts anywhere between genuine enthusiasts and generic admirers (that half the time don\'t even know what the car is).

My 2p...

I have a few mods done to my rx7, front mount, alloy rad, apexi + pfc downpipe etc and i also have a blob eye impreza. i use the scooby as the daily driver because its comfortable and practicle and the 4 wheel drive is great for when your half alseep in the morning and late for work!! but getting into the rx7 is a total different experience.put the foot down in the rx and its all out mahem!!!
i forgot what the moral of this story is but i have both so i dont need to choose!!!:Thumbsup!
 
would pick the rx7 on looks and fun factor hands down though!!

I have had en EVO 1 then an EVO V then an FD3S now got an FC3S - no thoughts of going back to EVO\'s although always loved the looks of the tommi makinen in red with graphics & white alloys.The V was highly tuned & fast but still prefer the RX\'s
