Many of you basement regulars know my overall outlook on cars.

Any Mitsu hater comments will be ignored

That being said...i'm seriously looking into trading in my white evo for a similarly priced s2000.

Reasons (not really in order) to leave evo and go to s2k:
1 evo is too racy to just drive around town. it really doesnt let u drive it slow.
2 even though mine has ran like a champ, theres that overlooming possibility of a transfer case/front diff failure or some other sort (13k miles of KNOWN history of the car - the car has around 30k miles on it)
3 my driver abilities arent a match for the car at its limits (aka i'm too scared to push it)
4 not exactly a rewarding drive, since you're worried about being arrested
5 mitsu dealer service :thumbsdown:
6 parts wear much quicker aka clutch/brake pads etc
7 driving the s2k just around town is very rewarding, no fear of arrest
8 the shift feel/naturally aspirated nature of the car is unparalled
9 VTAK
10 honda dealer service is much more pleasant
11 parts/accesories are much cheaper for s2k
12 easy as hell to work on s2k...evo isnt rocket science though
13 resale value is higher for s2k
14 i'll be able to flog the s2k 110% all day at a track event and not worry about a damn thing
15 while durable, flogging the evo all day leaves u with funny smells and sounds

Reasons to keep evo over s2k:
1- space - i'm a big guy. big and tall. i can barely fit in the passenger side, but driver side wasnt so terrible.
2- cup holders/glove box/etc etc
3-less power/torque
4-blind spots are teh suxor in s2k
5-evo = more stable in inclement weather
6-less road noise
7-much more mod friendly

thats it for now

 

Inclement weather? Aren't you in socal? :thinking:

 

Bwahahahahahaha won't let you drive around town slow :lmfao:

Learn to control the car not let the car control you :slap:

You shouldn't own anything more powerful than a Geo Metro

 

have u driven an evolution? :seriouslyasking:

 

it aint no damn seattle, but it does rain

 

Yeah the EVO's a beast, my dad's friend has one

I would get the S2Breezy

 

Trade for s2k, because you can't handle the evo and will probably end up hurting yourself or someone else

 

If I were you I'd keep the evo....but then again I own a STi

 

Reasons (not really in order) to leave evo and go to s2k:
1 evo is too racy to just drive around town. it really doesnt let u drive it slow.
Too racy? well I already addressed that you need to learn to control your car instead of the other way around

2 even though mine has ran like a champ, theres that overlooming possibility of a transfer case/front diff failure or some other sort (13k miles of KNOWN history of the car - the car has around 30k miles on it)
So you are admitting the Evo has inherent flaws and does crap out for known issues?

3 my driver abilities arent a match for the car at its limits (aka i'm too scared to push it)
Join an autox group and learn to drive your car

4 not exactly a rewarding drive, since you're worried about being arrested
WTF???

5 mitsu dealer service :thumbsdown:
Duh thats a no brainer, but then again a dealership is a dealership regardless of brand

6 parts wear much quicker aka clutch/brake pads etc
That is because of abuse of the vehicle not the make of the vehicle

7 driving the s2k just around town is very rewarding, no fear of arrest
Again WTF are you babbling about??

8 the shift feel/naturally aspirated nature of the car is unparalled
this is completely confusing

9 VTAK
/bandwagon

10 honda dealer service is much more pleasant
Already addressed, they just rob you in a way you like is all

11 parts/accesories are much cheaper for s2k
Say what?? not really

12 easy as hell to work on s2k...evo isnt rocket science though
Easier in what way?

13 resale value is higher for s2k
Well this is kind of a given since you have the long term reliabilty of Honda behind the vehicle, but you also limit your buyers market due to only 2 seater

14 i'll be able to flog the s2k 110% all day at a track event and not worry about a damn thing
heh...ok you keep thinking that when you go to replace the gears in your rear diff

15 while durable, flogging the evo all day leaves u with funny smells and sounds
It's because you are abusing a vehicle...they tend to do that especially if you don't maintain them properly

Reasons to keep evo over s2k:
1- space - i'm a big guy. big and tall. i can barely fit in the passenger side, but driver side wasnt so terrible.
2- cup holders/glove box/etc etc
3-less power/torque
4-blind spots are teh suxor in s2k
5-evo = more stable in inclement weather
6-less road noise
7-much more mod friendly

So all in all it looks like you have a case of the "I don't take care of my car and the grass looks greener on the other side"

 

Yes I have and the STi and the S2k (with 18lbs boost) and many others.
