I just went for a look at the evo x.

Looks much better in the flesh.

I am booking a test drive on sunday in the fq360 [love the cf front splitter and the vortex generator?].

Small boot though and has a massive sub in it[not a u boat type sub btw].

 

Good man.

FQ has the AYC gubbins, in case you were fussed either way.

Is it an official UK car?

 

yes from a ralliart dealer.

he said to get the 300hp model.

much more roomy than my scooby.

 

I would go for the FQ300 also.

The 360 is the same car, with a remap and couple of extra bits.

You can get that remap done for

 

i liked that

 

Evo magazine are currently running an Evo X and the only thing that seems of most concern for them is the absolutely horrendous fuel consumption! IIRC, even normal driving and they are struggling to reach above 20mpg..

Here is a link to their review of the new FQ360, not their long term model..

Here is what they think of their FQ300 SST....

Oh dear, I think I want an Evo.....I need more practicality these days, so whats the choice..

Love the TME
7 is ok
9 is rocking it.
X is plain awesome, but there are soooo many variants its not funny!

Any guidance would be greatly received, along with costs vs S2000 and the like.

Budget £15k

 

Avoid the 7.

6 is good if you can find a good one.

8 is superb, and the same platform as the 7 and 9. Pick of the bunch imo.

9 gives you more torque and different cosmetics.

10 isn't to my tastes unless you go for a RS.

For 15k I would go for a mint 8MR or a decent 9.

But I bet you won't go through with it

 

Someone got it
