What EVO is the best 5 6 or 7
Discussion
Going to depend what you want in one. Id choose a 6/5/7 in that order out of the ones you listed. I dont like the look of the 7 at all, imho its the worst looking recent Evo. There isnt really much difference between a 5 and 6 but the 6 is more of a classic and slightly better looking to me. Id probably want a Mak in full fag packet colours too though so what do I know 
all the info you need is on the MLR (v helpful if looking for an EVO).

EVO's get better as they get newer (oddly enough).
Having owned most models I'd suggest you try to stretch to an VIII FQ, giving you 6 speed b/box, bigger fuel tank, much nicer interior. starting price for a good FQ300 = around £14k
The 6 is often claimed to be the 'classic' evo to own but if you get out of a 7 or an 8 and back into an EVO VI it feels rather old fashioned/nasty inside and harsh to drive.
The 5 is very similar to the 6 but you are very unlikely to find one that's been in the uk from new, where-as plenty of VI's are available with perfect UK history from new.
My favourite VI is the RS version, lighter, keener and does away with the horrible AYC, best of all find an RSII which is an RS with aircon and e/windows and c/locking, very rare though and all the UK ones were white.
Servicing is the same on them all, the AYC needs fluid changes at 4,500 miles, hence if you find an RS you then have longer service intervals (same as an Impreza).
Great fun to drive, everyone should have at least one drive in an EVO just to understand what they can do. Very reliable as well, worn clutch and noisy gearbox bearings are the things to watch for.

Agreed, go for a viiiyou wont be disappointed
The VII is/was utterly rounded.
Quite easy to drive (although the whiff of clutch burn a tad too easy to induce) with an ever present hint of psycho unleashment at hand.
Best steering ever, the end.
Comfy, roomy and practical.
Less boy racer in appearance and I'd go so far as to say it looked alomst sensible.
Except that every journey saw you exiting said vehicle with the most inane grin (and that be no apocryphal mythus urbinium.)
Near dirt prices = complusive purchase order for those in the market.
