Well if the choices are those two, go with the evo.

Just call some insurance companies and get a few quotes.

If it were me and I had the money, I'd go Evo. But for the price, you can't really beat the SRT4

I've searched and seen 04 SRT-4's in the 16k's with around 10k miles... which is why I got one. I'd still give it up for an Evo if I had the chance.

i still wonder why people would want to pay monthly payments at such a young age... use the 10k to buy a 4 or 5 year old car that will last.... then once you are out of school/get older newer car. honestly you wont miss not having a brand new car after you've had it for a week or 2...

What on God's green earth makes you think a yellow evo would be cheaper to insure than a red one?

And insurance will rape you. Don't let the "4 cyl 4 door" thing fool you, the insurance companies know what the fuck an evo is.
