That one there as it's in my price range and it's cheaper than the S2 to buy but evens out with insurance.

Thing i'm worried about is reliability *sp* and Fuel for the evo.
As the S2 was trouble free and very good fuel wise in traffic.
But always wanted an evo 7 after being taken out in one

Evo running costs are a lot thought...
Servicing every 4.5k miles etc they aren't cheap either, i was looking at them myself but opted for the P1...quite a lot cheaper running costs. Try wwww.lancerregister.com i found it pretty helpful.

Cheers Tim The thought of having one is clouding my judgement at the mo I need to speak to owners and weigh up pro's and cons.
Will register now and see what they say

Check for service history as the YAW control and gear box on them are common issues.

Evo running costs are ridiculous, I wouldn't even consider one because of this.

Evo all the way. You have done the S2K and that evo sounds like a BEAST.
My bros is running at around 350bhp and it is immense.
Get it done
