Yeh check out the buyers guide over on the evo forum:- lancerregister. From what i can remember its a good guide, the V is the best looking one too.

Good car but harsh on long journeys imo.

Running costs will be a bit of a step up from the 6 too, I think.

[AlexM]

Why are you getting rid of the 6? I would have thought it's ideal..

[liam1]

the mazda is ideal im just getting carried away a bit in the thought of owning a sup and a evo.

Well if you fancy owning another sup let me know, I'd love a Mazda6 but keep getting carried away with the idea of keeping 2 Sups .

Hi mate i had an evo5 looked great but a pain when things went wrong. had it 3 years then traded it for the supra after spending about £2000 fixing it. it needed a new clutch after 3 runs down the track, discs warped as well. the ayc system needs serviced every 4000 miles only mitsi can do that. another common problem is the crown pinion bolts in the front diff, you get a knocking noise they have to be replaced. after replacing the ayc pump and wheel bearing which is part of the hub, then getting told i needed a new rear diff, also mitsi telling me they need a engine rebuild at 70000 miles id had enough of evos. dont let me put you of though id obviously just bought a pile of crap, im sure theres good ones out there lol.
