I Drove My Friends Evo 9 Last Week And

[fudge]

to be honest it was a huge disappointment. It handled very well through uneven bends but thats where the good bits ended. NO WAY near the power of mine but I did not want to tell my friend that, as he had just bought the thing, so I thought the best way around this was to let him drive mine.

He realised the difference straight away.

The 330 bhp Evo can be compared to driving the sports version of a good handling family saloon. No noise, no fun, no power surge. It would suit the kind of guy that finds the engineering qualities of an Impreza a touch daunting and opt for something more mellow. Nuf Sed

i took a evo8 340 out for a test drive about 6 months ago i was looking to buy one

was so disapointed with it

yeah it was fast but there was just no excitment and i love evo's love the 4 best but it just did not do it for me

handled very well but i like to know i am going fast i i like the bit of turbo lag and then the rush of it there was just none of that

Hi Pistolpete

I know what you mean. The Evo delivers a smooth acceleration opposed the to power surge from the Impreza's. The Evo's engine sounds nothing as good. I was temped to buy an Evo as a 2nd car to my P1, but I wont bother now.
