Only opinions i'd even bother considering are the ones from the seat of your pants. Everyones an internet expert - get out there and drive em. Both are fantastic bang for buck no matter what star you buy!

Here here. Well said.

Paceway???? They are not an Authorised Ralliart Dealer last I checked... I wouldn't buy an evo from them as they don't have the support (service) crew able to look after the Evos. Look at Skippers as they have Ralliart techs that works there.

the sales people at skippers are gimps next time you speak to them tell them they are arseclowns for not telling me about the price drop in evos. hence i had no problems signing up on an 06 STi, if i had known the price was gonna be no different i would have waited for the 9 to be released and decide then.

the wankers don't deserve the sale anyway acting in such an unproffesional manner
and that sale manager has to be one of the most arrogant smart arse sales people i've had the displeasure of encountering.

i'm going to go round there with my brand new STi when i get it and point out how much skippers suck

and the gearbox is oh soooooo smooth. the gear shift in the evo is almost reason alone to get one

and i'd also like to add the leather recaros are awesome.

fuck i want and evo now

7. Every ricer will try and copy your Evo by fitting crappy body kits to their povo pack GLi Lancers.

I'll just copy your post from above Wombat and hand it to the sales manager when i pop around there in a minute for a quite look. Would b worth it just to see the look on the clowns face.....

Can you remeber his name by any chance ?

J

nah can't remember his name but he had metro looking hair was reasonably tall probably late 20's early 30's and an arrogant demenour, the actual sales guy that took us for a test drive was a really friendly young black guy who was really helpfull and probably deserved the sale, but the manager was an ass and lost them a sale because of it,

also they never gave me follow up calls, all 3 subaru dealers i was talking to about getting a car gave me follow up calls within 2 days of test driving and a call once a week after that to see how i was going, now some people might find this pushy but when you are actually ready to buy a car it makes a difference.

the worst sales service out of every dealer i drove cars at was skipper mitsubishi.
I test drove subaru, Merc, BMW, Audi, mitsubishi the euros i really only drove to see how they compared from a bang for buck point of veiw... my opinion on any merc, BMW or audi in anywhere near an STi, Evo or Liberty RB price range is there isn't even a competition the jap cars win hands down IMO.

hehe yeah give it to him he has my number on my card i gave him so if he wants to disgree that he is an ass he can call me...

i wish but sorry to disappoint you mate, but NO HIDs. the headlight washer is similar to that of a liberty but no HIDs on them either. only JDM STIs comes with HID i think

i know as far as BANG FOR YOUR BUCK value's concern, the STIs are right up there, but some luxury items such as Defi cluster, boost & temp gauges, Sat Nav, sun roof, side airbags, CF and leather bits & pieces as standards would go a long way in attracting buyers (especially ppl going through mid life crises). even if they offer them as options at a reasonable price (cheaper than buying aftermarket), then i for one would definitely spend the extra dole - speaking from someone who drives it as a daily car and rarely goes to the track of course

Agree, the sales service of Mitsubishi are terrible across the board. It's the Service Deptment (after sales) where Skippers is very good.

For sales, STI are heaps heaps heaps better.
