    Question Would you buy another new Euro?

    If you were to buy / trade in for a new car, would you buy another Euro or something else?
    I am thinking of getting another new Euro but also thinking of changing up for something with a bit more power like a Mitsubishi Evo IX. The Mitsu's are about $56k new so that's in my price range.....very tempting indeed.

    Is that $56k on the road? About 12 months ago when I tested the IX I was quoted something like $61k - but I guess that was the first price I was given without any bargaining. Make sure you drive it throughly before you commit - the driving experience was great but I wasn't impressed on the interior and the lack of features (no cruise control for example and the speedo increments are difficult to read). The car doesn't feel particularly solid either (close the boot or doors and you will see what I mean). To put it bluntly, you always get the feeling in the Evo that you are in a $25k car with an evil engine conversion. The STI has an all round better interior and solid feel in my opinion.

    I wouldn't buy another Euro until the new generation is released with SH-AWD and a stack more power (turbo?).

    keep your euro, then trade up to the all new model like yfin suggested if your keen for an ugprade.

    I personally think they're a great car and I plan to keep mine indefinitely (untill petrol runs out or I feel the need for a second car).

    i've already done the turbo thing.
    drove an evo VIII and although the power was incredible, the interior or lack off was obvious as to the refinement which was non existant.
    new euro needs to be a 6 mps rival for me.

    the Euro only needs 2 things to make it complete, imo

    1. RWD
    2. V6 from the Accord

    4cyl + fwd =

    ive always had the idea of having 2 cars also

    1 is the luxury daily car

    2 is the all out performance car. a skyline or 180 can be had for dirt cheap, 20k (inc cost of car) and youve got a serious performance machine on your hands.
