How many of us lose faith?

[B.Martin]

I got out of rotaries for over a year, but i think as mentioned elsewhere, for the $ i literally dont think there is a comparison, in any area, looks, performance or handling!

I noticed reliability wasn\'t mentioned. I\'m very intrigued by an Evo III though, I mean in my case we could compare it to my FC. Stock cost is very similar, it has awd with a 60/40 rear/front power balance, compared to obviously rwd, the FC is down in power by about 50 BHP, i just think an Evo III would make a better daily driver than my FC. I\'ve also got a thing for (dare is say it) the classic impreza, but only the import or type r 2 door version.

If you want something reliable, buy a Honda, but it wont full fill one of the criteria mentioned above $ for $.

Its a story i have told many times on here, i went to a track day in my first Rx7, i was with a chap with a brand new at the time E46 and brand new at the time 911 turbo! They were both gutted that my £6k ish 10 year old Rx7 got 100% more attention than there many thousands NEW cars! And the chap in the M3 was more gutted that he couldnt even stay with me on the track!

$ for $ they just cant be beat imho!

They don\'t make them like they used to

Rotor = Win.


That is all.

I don\'t have the budget for an FD, so that\'s out the question. I\'d be interested in properly comparing an Evo iii with an FC. I\'m gonna assume no has the experience of both on here? If you do please shout up.

Loved the rotary but in the end family came first, as it should.

For me it was an expenditure that i did not need, you need a release in life and the rotary was it for me, however once the kids came along it all changed.

BMW X5 now but plenty of room and returns 30+ mpg.

Have said to the wife that should we ever win the lottery Number 1 on the list is to get my old rx7 back without delay !!!!!

[B.Martin]

I\'m certainly being pulling into an Evo craze.

[turbo boy]

I much prefer the evo 6 only cus of the styling but my mate had a evo 4 with nearly 300hp unbelievable performance!

[jetpilot]

I loved the Evos and always planned on getting a black Evo 5 or 6, until one of my 25 year old nephews friend got an evo 7. It put me right of them as i am afraid to say he is your typical chav bull s*******, my evos got 400+ hp and can beat anything type thing, all you see on his fb profile is things like, evo 1 - ferrari 0...

Funny what can put you off a car!

I have driven a few evos, so quick up to 80 ish but they seem to hit a brick wall and just slow down then!

[turbo boy]

I know what your saying evo`s and scoobs tend to have that chav label attatched to `em as well as old skool ford cossies, im inlove with these cars but because of the chavyness will never own one.

[jetpilot]

Scoobs are now a definite chav transport, evos are not too bad in general as they still retain quite a high value.

I think old school Cossies have come full circle and are now safe to own again! I havent even seen a Sierra Cossie for years let alone be driven by a chav!

[B.Martin]

Yeah I\'m with jetpilot here, I wouldn\'t get a subaru due to the chav image. I think I could pull off an Evo iii as they\'re just old school and cool, or a 7-8-9 as I\'m not keen on the 4-5-6 rear end. Sounds gay I know but if I\'m buying a car I want one I like 100% lol!

[TRIND-FD]

So , back on topic.  I\'ve lost faith in the justice system.
The government . The euro zone.

[B.Martin]

You mean you had faith in the first place?

 Wait a sec... The original topic is what we\'re discussing Trind!!!

What do you think of an Evo compared to an FC3S?

[m1tch]

Mate if you are needing the power of the Evo but the practicaility of an estate just buy one of my cars, the Volvo V40 is based on the Mitsu Charisma chassis, all Evo 1-3 parts bolts directly on few V40s are RWD, some are AWD
