EVO 9 FQ 360 or EVO 9 GT?

[Beemer-5]

Which would you have, at circa £22K for the GT and circa £25K for the FQ 360?
And why?
Both cars for sale in York, at the moment and a friend is looking for an 'Evobaru'-type saloon at the moment.
Thanks for any input.

Doesnt the GT lack AYC, like the old RS models, and hence have a much longer service interval?

GT doesn't have AYC, has a 5 speed gearbox and 280bhp

FQ 360 has 6 gears and 360bhp. It's an amazing car to drive! (not that I'm biaised )

£25K for a 360 seems a pretty good price.

Do you really like the 360 then?
What are the best and worst points about it, would you say?
Ta.

Best points ... handling and it goes like a rocket!

Worst points ... it will get you points on your license!
Also pretty thirsty on fuel especially urban driving. It's not as bad as people might think on long, steady journeys though. Service intervals are pretty short (every 6000 miles iirc)

[rsv gone!]

Service interval is 4,500m for the AYC models

4,500 on my Evo 340, i recall.

If you had a 340 surely you should be in a good position to guide your mate? 360 wouldn't be too dissimilar.

[Beemer-5]

Not really, because i know little about the GT!

The 360 has a different tune to the 340 too, and mine was an Evo 8, again different to the lX.
