164 Q4 Vs Delta integrale EVO

[blacktopjunkie]

I've been going on about this for a year now, but judgement day is at hand. I'm buying myself a birthday present of one of the above. All things considered, including financial implications, which would you choose?

Verde York is my definite no-no colour. Sorry man.

[blacktopjunkie]

I think he knows that, but is saying the 164 is nimble for its size. Would that be right?

[blacktopjunkie]

They, like the integrale, are import only. Worse still they're very rare abroad and if they show up are usually in bad nick. There is currently one on autoscout international in Germany for half the price of an Evo. It's the cost that's worrying me

[blacktopjunkie]

Was it not a V10? or was that another incarnation of the 164?

[blacktopjunkie]

Pedantic to say the least

My car knowledge is very much alfa, lancia and fiat based so I tend to pick up on things quick enough, I still can't recognise MBs?

I think you're point is very valid though I've had a hankering for a Delta since childhood and as a 166 driver I'm very attracted to the 164. Upset I missed the recent black cloverleaf on ebay.

I think I'm sold on the Delta, though it's twice the price. Better to nip it in the bud.

I previously owned a Dedra, which I loved, but find the design of the Thema too dull, and though somewhat attracted to the 8.32, it's not really a substitute for the Delta.
