RE: Mitsubishi Evo X: PH Carpool
Discussion
I would ask if it even is insured as many people don't seem to bother in the US hence the number of cars dinged up etc... Hearing where he chap is from bough may suggest this is a money-no-concern family, and if so FairPlay to them ... I wish haha 
I have a friend who's first car was a Chimera after his parents told him he could have anything at all as long as it costs less then £9k and that's what he found lol ... Always poses the issue of where next though (assuming you don't kill yourself and/or numerous others with it before getting that far)

Bloody hell, at 18 I was riding a s

In the USA, what's insurance like? In the UK an 18 year old would pay some incredibly ludicrous premium for one of these (if s/he could be offered insurance at all!)
The average New Jersey family insurance premium is about $3000 per year, even more if you have no driving history. I don’t think under 25s get hammered as much as in the UK.tty little scooter.

One word: insurance!!!!!!!!???????
To all you Brits getting excited by insurance costs, remember that other parts of the world are little more affordable and forgiving. My 'first' at 19yo was a R33 Nissan Skyline and cost me the total sum of £600 for annual insurance. That was in Australia. My current car (e46 m3) has just been insured in the UK for 2.5x the price (!) I was paying in Germany. So no doubt that an Evo X will be more expensive for this guy than a Golf would be, but it thankfully it won't be as crippling as for those in the UK.

Only a mitsubishi owner could be jealous of a subaru owner's interior, lol.
Having owned both this year I'd say that there's not much to separate them. They both leave a little to be desired but I did not buy my X to admire the trim!One heck of a car, although I had to wait until my 50s to own one.
What a car for an 18 year old! Lucky lad.
The laws of economics don't seem to apply in the same way in the US as they do in the UK.
Whenever I go there, I'm always left puzzled by how many ordinary, blue-collar and college-educated people manage to live quite (very) comfortably,wage bills must be quite large and yet many things and services don't seem to cost a lot compared with Europe.
Maybe it is the low fuel and land prices that keep the price of everything else down?
Ps. Does Ireland still have enormous road tax and car insurance premiums to make the UK seem cheap?
