[luke]

hi, am thinking of getting an evo 4-5 havent made me mind up, was just wondering if sum could gives us a few pros n cons on both, which is better value for money,av got a budget of 7000, will b stepping up from a toyota gt starlet,want a step up, and more of a practicle car. know a bit bout cars bt not loads, am more than happy to change oil n fuel myself, but the ayc might stump me, is this expensive to get a garage to do? how expensive are they to run? and are parts easy to get hold of, due to being an import, the starlets a nightmare. some one please help, cheers luke

Hi i recently had to make this decision myself, 4 or 5.
I choose 5 in the end because its a newer car, and has the brembo brakes. Also its rumored the 5s are fast then the 4s, and they look way nicer!!

Costs me 75 New Zealand Dollars to fill my tank, wich is around 60 USD i think. Kinda bad comparrison though since petrol prices will be differ in differnt countrys... But i go through about 1.5 tanks of gas per week... i drive it fast tho :/

Hope this helps

have found a 4 and fallen in love, but have heard a few bad things about the engine, are they prone to probelms? are they like the rx7 and require rebuilding after certain millage, or if a problem accours? please help, really want the car, but wana get as much info as possible

Im 20. And i pay the earth for my insurance. But its just what ya get for owning a turbo at a young age :/
For an evo is it worth it? Fuck yea!

Just make sure to insure it as a weekend driver. Get a beater car as a primary. Saves big money.

dont say that evo 5 is more faster than evo 4 mate remember they have the same engine 4g63 it depends how are you going to tuned it my evo 4 at the moment runs 300 BHP and if yours are standard then you have no chance. ill agree wth you when it comes to look of course its evo 5 its much more upgraded in exterior specially the body kit but still they are all evo's. all created to look good. i can upgrade my brakes to brembo aswell theres nothing impossible man if you have a right budget.

if you have the budget you might as well go for a E6,it depends how good condition the 4 you are looking at is in,if it is in poor condition the cost to get it to a tidy level could be costly,not sure where your from,but i would try to get it looked at by someone who knows about the engine which will be the main factor and if you have the choice between a tidy 4 and a poor 5 you would go for the 4 eveytime,get it check for crankwalk to matey,there are so many issues you need to check before you buy,a bit of a step from the starlet ?also get your insurance sorted first group 20 not cheap at 21.good luck anyway.

when i bought mine, I had the choice of a V or a VI and I got the V because it looks better IMO. It did not warrant the extra money to not have forged pistons
