move?

if that Evo were a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo, I'd say buy it. But, after owning an AWD car and heavily modding it, i would say it's closest to dating a stripper. Fun to drive and expensive to maintain. The attention you get can be both good and bad, depending how you look at it.

see what i mean?

Lancia Delta Integrale Evo is money i love those cars too bad we could never get them

aeipee13 · 06-24-2009, 01:01 PM

I saw a couple in Italy, they are seriously the perfect car.

yah i heard them evo all four wheels spins when u drive..i dont know about that..

toyo · 06-24-2009, 05:15 PM

it might break a lot because people tend to boost it up with no tune, well at least in my country, might break a lot if you take it to the track every weekend lol

so maybe if you treat it right you'll be fine.

ohh wait, it's an evo, no way you're not abussing it

Do it , DO IT !!!!!

Evo is a great car... but I reckon your next car should be a RWD...
since you must have perfected the FWD yaris, a rwd should be the road to take... after that jump on the AWD bandwagon...

Get ready to be hit with a insane 60k milage bill. I think on evos at 60k you change spark plugs, wires, timing belt, water pump, exterior drive belts, coolant, transmission fluid, and few other things Items that normally would be serviced at 100k on other vehicles.
