    Hi there!
    Just wanna ask, Isn't it worth to have an Evo if you're not a car racer. It's been a long time that I;ve been aiming to have such car, medyo ala lng budget b4 and ayoko lng talga ng mga mahal na auto, but now dumating ung decision point ko na I really want that car. I like it 'cause i can definitely rely on its durability and of course its appearance and speed na rin tska excellent talaga ung specs nya. Some say kc, I might be tempted on speed and it's quite dangerous pag nawala ung control since I'm not trained to be a racer but only as an ordinary driver. Though I know to myself na d ako matetempt to speed up, but the prob is my bro, he's quite aggressivce kc sa mga racing cars. Mahirap na baka yung enjoyment ko to have tha car myt be resulted into tragedy. But I really do want it, minsan lng ako magkagusto ng gusto tlaga na 100% sa isang bagay. Actually since early this yr paiba iba naiisip kong auto to purchase. Now lng talga ung final na gusto ko tlaga. Will appreciate your feedback on this. Thank you.

    i dont think you have to be a racer to own such a car. all you have to be is a responsible and disiplined driver. that somethimes when you feel like it would like let go (shempre on safe situations) and get some adrenaline rush.

    It's like buying a plasma/lcd tv only to use it for local/cable channels.

    I've watched ABS-CBN on a Samsung R8 LCD TV (37 inch) and it does feel 'different'.

    Hindi naman bulok ang HDTV sa SD pero it just feels......different.

    Anyhow, the poster reminds of a driver who uses his Evo IX RS everyday to pick up his son from School.

    i would have to disagree with most of you here.

    if the Op wants an evo to buy his food from the market, then so be it.

    If you have the means to maintain it, why not?

    how can we be sure that he won't use it in the track? malay natin, when he gets used to the power, maging track whore narin siya in the future. it can open up more possibilities of learning if you have an "able" car.

    but then, ika nga nila...greater power comes with greater responsibilities. totoong madaming naaaksidente dahil sa hindi nila alam kung paano i control ang mga kotse nila. SIR na nga lang na civic dami na naaaksidente, eh. evo pa kaya.

    i think its quite durable naman as a daily driver... basta tama yun pag gamit mo. although ang masakit dyan un walang warranty whatsoever with mitsu phil. if u want something similar na may warranty... wrx sti or even just a wrx(1.7m) and save 500k although u miss out on the brembos and the additional 50hp.

    better to have the power at moments notice kesa naman you want the ruch... tpaos BLAH ang makukuha mo... if you hdtv and you watch cable channels is cool.. kesa naman HDTV is available in your area tapos naka crt ka lang? :D its just a matter of choice... if you think you really NEED (in your case want) an evo go ahead and do so.

    answerte naman ng pahihiramin mo ng evo! ahehehe! pwede ba kame humiram ni kapitan? hehehe
