Hey guys. I’m living in South africa. And I’m looking for a evo, right side steering of course. to import to here. market in the country is extremely limited.

So. Do you know anybody or some company wich would import a evo 9 to South Africa,
Either from, UK, Austrailia, or the best would be japan cause of the exchange rate.

It does not have to be new. It can be any color. But should be a Evo 9 with a wing not the tiny small pussy lip they put on in europe…

thx

Yeah Squeeny is right, and i think that leon davis is worse than eddie betts cause eddie betts has scored more goals

Also, when you’re making comparisons with the UK models, why did you not cover the JDM MR?

Further on to that, there are options lacking in the AU models such as Xenon lights.

Go read up before you write a review.

hi there

Please get your facts right.
It was an EVO 8 MR in top gear and not an EVO 9.

———– extract

If the straight line speed isn’t what you are after than the Evo 9s unlimited grip should be handy, in a recent test by Topgear (UK TV Motoring show) the Evo 9 kept up with a Lamborghini Murcialogo around a race track.

This EvoIX is fastest than the new EvoX if only this EvoIX would have the new 6-speed double clutch transmission.

the evo 10 is much slower the the 9 they have tested it the 9 came out on top from the evo 10 and reading this article there are some mistakes with in it… stating the topgear uk tv show tested the evo 9 against a lambo is not entirely true, they tested a Mitsubishi Evolution VIII FQ400 against it which only 100 of them were made in the world and only sold in UK and it did beat the lambo around a track not straight.

I have been waiting to purchase either a WRX STI 08 or the EVO 9 after the June 08 new financial year, to get it more cheaper.
I have always been a Subaru owner, but now leaning towards actually buying the EVO9

My decision was based on the EVO 9 gear box and need for speed feel out weigh the new WRX hatch back comparingthe performance. (shame on Subaru for brings out a hatchback)

After this long wait and info gathering, I now got the EVO 10 to put in my equation (here we go again)

I am so stress now, should I wait for the EVO 10 which will cost around $70,000, or buy the now cheaper EVO9.

My question is, for anyone that owns a EVO 9.
Would I get the same bang for my bucks with the EVO 9 or will there be an increase in power, performance on the new EVO 10. (which I would then have to borrow extra cash as they cost about $70,000)
Thanks

How much is an 06 Evo? The Ralliart Lancer coming out towards the end of this year has the same AWD system of the Evo 9 with the Evo 10s engine… along with a host of features, for a predicted $40kish. Im sure a 06 Evo would be in this range, in which case, Id wait for the ralliart!!!

I am just about to pick up a 2006 EVO 9. I owned a 2006 wrx for 2 years and it was an awesome car. The EVO however is freaky to drive, it’s almost a no brainer. Awesome seats and seating position. I advise anyone to go for a 9. The x is going to jump up a little too much for my liking, however if you have the $$$ go for it…

If i buy an Evo, it would just be a good old Evo VIII…. I love Evo’s, but until my decision is swayed by this newer evo, I would probably just stick with the old one…

Coming from Japan, I hope he had that (groan) 180 km/h speedo replaced!
