Soundwave Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I know many of you are probably gonna roll your eyes reading this post, but i thought, to hell with the fuel economy!! (as per my recent post in the audi chat section). Ok, i've decided to go down the EVO route purely because i recently i saw an absolutely gorgeous one that'd been lowered with black wheels and to describe it as menacing would be an understatement. I also saw another nice one on the motorway which was a 7 or 8 and it was the ralliart special edition and it too looked gorgeous. I've really started to like them recently. Anyway, to the point..I am looking to buy an EVO 7 or 8 and wondered which was the best route to take. Should i try to find a nice uk car or should i go grey and use an import specialist. Either way, can anyone steer me in the right direction to a good dealer or importer? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHA Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I have been to SGT www.sgt.co.uk in Taplow a few times. They have a good range of Evos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon_evo Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Being a an ex evo owner I would recommend Brighton Mitsubishi or Reading Mitsubishi if you want to use a franchised dealer or Xtreme if you dont . Go for the 8MR if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapsuds Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 have you driven one??? Stuff their looks, driving one is awesome!!!! Stay away from a modified suspension ones. The standard ones are just perfect! My mate has an MR-FQ320 with 340bhp (de-cat and filter), FMSH etc. and is looking at £19k for it if you are interested??? PM me if you are Simply stunning car. He gets about 21-24 mpg on a run at 70mph, but about 10mpg around town. Also, you need a garage or something as he has had various attempted thefts and 1 attempted car jacking.

Soundwave Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I've certainly heard similar stories of attempted theft and car-jackings. In fact, i was watching one of these real life police fly-on-the-wall type programs and some guy had his FQ-300 stolen but later recovered. But they had stolen the keys through his letterbox! It's stories like this that really put you off owning such a car, but I do like the look of them. It's funny, because most of motoring press aren't keen on the look but love the driving experience. Me, I like the idea of both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
