Just introducing myself , a wannabee for an S15 !!
Have a Mitsubishi Evo 6 GSR atm , don't intend to sell it tho !! But have got the bug for an S15 as an additional toy !!

Hi and welcome :wave:

The S15 shouldn't be as fast as the EVO 6 in stock condition.
But the car is probobly more comfy to drive. I never driven an EVO but from what I've heard they are supposed to be pretty rough rides.

The S15 is a car which you'll have no problems with using as a daily driver if you wanted. Except for when it rains or snows :)
They tend to be a little tailhappy when wet :D

:wave: hi and welcome!

i went from a evo 6 to a s15 and never looked back, the evo was faster round corners no doubt but i still love the s15 more.......more to the point my pocket loves the s15 more as its sooooo cheap to run in comparison :D

Hello :wave:

My Girl will buy your Evo :nod:
Cud never sell it M8 !! I've had it from new and it's an incredible car !! Just in the process now of building a 650 BHP motor for it , shud b finished for next summer !

Kimi , I know Xtreme , and as Ralliart previously , in fact thats where I test drove a 6 !!

Kieran , seems like we share a similar taste in cars then !! I know wot u mean about running cost's , but I don't use the Evo as a daily driver for that reason. Do like these S15's tho !!

Thanx for the welcomes guy's !

The Evo is pretty hardcore which is wot pushes my buttons !! The stock suspension is not really a good set up for UK tracks , errr I mean roads !! With a suitable aftermarket suspension they r much better , supple but controlled with ridiculous corner speed :D Also , despite the negative comments that r made , they r totally reliable , IF , they r serviced and maintained properly !! Problem is there r alot of muppet drivers out there that don't have clue about how to drive them correctly or how to look after them. They tend to create all the negative comments to placate their injured pride and wallet !! I have encountered so many Evo owners who drive the things like front wheel drive cars , trying to break traction by slipping or dropping the clutch !!!
This really is abusive to the transmission so they pay a high price in fried clutches & broken boxes & diffs !!
Mine has been 100% reliable and is still on the original clutch at 31k miles , & I don't drive like Miss Daisy :D
There is a specific technique to launching a 4WD performance car , if this is observed the Evo will luv it up !

Another problem is the the Evo's practicality is it's own worst enemy !! People perceive and buy it on this image , using it to convince themselves it's not such an extravagent purchase really !!! Problem is , it's a performance car in a 4 door family car disguise !! U cannot beat the laws of physics tho , a car with this performance will eat brakes , tyres etc , and will need lots of maintenance , IF the performance is used to the full !! If it's not then y buy an Evo anyway !!

I luv it , it's the best car I've owned , even after comparing it with a M8's (rich M8 !!) Ferrari 360 & Lambo Gallardo I am still more than impressed !!

Still , I like the look of the S15 :D
