Just test drove an EVO X 2011, I'm in love. Anyone want an STi?
Minimal mods, just got a tune up, all synthetic fluids, swift springs and tuned by Mioke at GST. Only has catback and strut/H braces. 40k miles, 2007, gold wheels. $24,000.
That EVO X will be mine. So much nicer than the STi... OMG. I couldn't believe how much better it was. Its better than the old EVO, and the interior is NICE.
500 under invoice. They wanna give me 21k for my car, but I'd rather sell it to someone here cuz I know they'll try to get 29-30 for it.

Man how could u like that Evo x. . I test drove both the sst model mr and gsr for one I don't care for looks it's to fat and it looks to much like a regular lancer with some wheels and a wing if you get the SSS package and the interior is nice no doubt but it's not worth it if your going for heated seats abd all that luxury just get a Mercedes haha it's the same price as the damn Evo x now what 44k + for the touring model I have owned 3 past evos two MR editions and a gsr 05 and 06 models and I now have my second Sti which is stage 3 an couldn't be happier I get more compliments with this car than any of my past Evos. It's all preference I'm not biased as I have owned both cars abd driven new Stis old Stis new evos and old, I prefer my 06 Sti.. If it wasn't for money being an issue at the moment I would have gotten a 11 Sti sedan. But good luck with your Evo. I got bored with mine why I sold it, haven't got bored with my Sti and I love the sound. I find myself always looking forward to driving with the suby. Not so much with the Evo and I feel more confident abusin a Sti and beating on it, to me evos feel like they are going to break

I want to go with the most basic model, the GSR 5 speed. I dont want the shiitttty flappy slushbox, never again. The shifter throws LONG and Im used to me STi 6 speed which has a short throw, so that's one thing I'd change.
It's white, I'd lower it, exhaust, tune, E-85, and gold wheels. = my dream
Anyone know anyone selling a used EVO X?

IMO your degrading not upgrading 6 speed to 5 speed Sti to gsr Evo only thing that your getting is a year newer Car that isn't better than your sti in any way except handling if your stock and that's about it unless u like the looks interior is nice like I said but why not get bride seats switch out your door panels for carbon fiber like I did haha unless not your taste but idk man. I have a feeling if u get an Evo you will get suby sickness who knows. Alright good luck with your dream car hope everything works out !
