Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Performance was fantastic, but the running costs were so high that the performance did not outweigh this.

There was also severe turbo lag which meant the performance wasn’t always immediately accessible.

Compared to rivals, the engine and exhaust sound isn’t as pleasing.

Overall I am glad to have owned one and scratched the Evo itch, however I would not buy one again and wouldn’t recommend to someone else. A shame as I have always loved the Evo, but it just didn’t live up to expectations.

How reliable do you find the car?

Extremely reliable, solid Japanese build quality.
