Evo 8 FQ300. Opinions?

[mercurius]

Does anyone here own one? Would it feel involving enough and fast enough after an M3 and a Tuscan? What should I pay for a low mileage 2003 model? 2004? Are they reliable? A Japanese turbo 4x4 is one of the few types of cars I have not owned. I am curious and also compelled! I have read all the Evo reviews...The Exige remains an option...

Any information or alternative suggestions would be welcome...

Many thanks.

Guys, can we stick to the topic here? Maybe you should post a thread Turbo Vs Nitrous and 2wd Vs 4wd...I want to know if I can replace my Tuscan with an Evo FQ300 or if that is the silliest idea on earth!

OK, that's more like it...

Now...we can get back to the debate about 4wd, 2wd, Nitrous and Turbos...personally I think that anyone who is out there looking to buy a car that is as fast on the road as it is...

Just kidding guys...

what?

WHAT?!?

Someone who will take my TVR for a good price has one for 20K with 7,000 miles...

I want to replace my TVR because I want something that handles in the wet, is cheaper to run and because I change cars every year...

...My TVR has had 5 services (big ones cost £1200 small ones £600) in 14,000 miles, covers a maximum of 150 miles on 56 litres of optimax and so far has cost me and the previous owner between 3 and 5K a year on repairs and parts (such as clutch costing £1300 and an engine rebuild, which I don't know the cost of!)...and we have both been told that "it is a good one"!

Do you still think an Evo will cost me more? I cover about 6,000 miles a year and keep my cars for a year...believe me, 2 oil changes will be the least of my problems in terms of cost by comparison...
