Unquestionably imagine that that you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be at the web the easiest factor to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as people think about issues that they just do not understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as outlined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank you

I have driven as company cars- Evo 6 limited edition, evo 8, and currently an evo 9 ( not to mention a number of Sti’s etc). I am 50 years old, and the 9 is my daily drive and favorite. it has only done 25,000km

I agree with all that is written here- The 6.5 was a brutal car, the 9 is more refined but you still have to work hard and “drive” all the time. Thats exactly what i like.

My 2006 Sti was easier to drive daily but far less refined than the 9 in cornering. I even bought a current Sti but sold it a week later..awful awful awful car.

I look forward to driving a 10… might suit an old bloke like me and I hope to be driving cars like this when I am super old. Price? who cares at $75,000 its 1/2 the price of a Skyline, and I am sure Mitsu dealers will discount

Now lets imagine Evo XI will have a carbon fibre body… that would be something…

“moral of the story, its completely illogical to buy an inferior “version” and upgrade it to the elite version….
And I think that was your point, but just thought I’d comment on the referencing method.”

Its a no brainer, Goes with every car, lets say from a G6 to G6E spending all the optioning to get to a E would cost you more than to buy the E itself.

^OSU, It seems a few here still like to use a full manual gearbox aswell. Bloody glad to hear it.
Last time canned the dsg boxes I got flambéed which is why I gave up commenting on them as some are convinced they are the waaavvveee of the future, man!
Contrary to what I said earlier, If it came down to it outside the evo models, I would stick with an STi 6 speeder too.
Btw, these aren’t really proper sports cars as they’re based on 1.4 ton tin topped shopping hacks imo.

OSU811 … Evo does come in a 5 Speed manual. But the mystery around the acceleraltion times seem to be a really heavy guarded secret in Australia. CA .surely you have the 0-100 kph figures!!

Don’t know about Australian Evo X times, but UK Evo X FQ-300 auto and US Evo X GSR manual record 4.7s and 4.8s respectively.

Nick: Yeah, the 0-100 and 1/4 mile times would have been nice to see. Maybe some sort of in gear acceleration times.

The in gear acceleration times really show up any turbo lag issues quite well.

Maybe CarAdvice is trying to be like TGAU and not put any detail in their reviews (just kidding guys)

My opinion is that a proper sports car should have a proper manual gearbox, in saying that though it seems these twin clutch auto/manuals are the way of the future eg(gtr,evo,911,m3) but I must be getting old because too me i still dont feel as in control or as confident unless its a proper man with a clutch!, thats why my vote would go to the STI plus the sound of the boxer engine is a lot nicer..
