Welcome to CL and the IS forum!

I'm wondering why you guys are selling the EVOs. I hear so many cool things about them.

The tint guy has an EVO and when he was doing my windows on my new IS he was going on about how great his car is and how it can do this and that and maybe one day I should get one because it's such an amazing car.

He even stopped doing work to show me his car. I must say, it was pretty nice but that's when I first got mine and I knew nothing about imports, really. I never heard of an EVOLUTION before that.

+1 My cousin has one and there nice to drive. I'd take either one. I still love my IS350 though. I won't mind an evo. It has more aftermarket support. GL with getting one.

Mines has a bunch of stuff that I need to pull off. Has about 41k and I'm hoping for 24k-25k with some mods on.

To be honest I love my Evo but it is not practical. It's fully modded and almost magazine cover worthy (got an offer actually but was already in the process of parting out). I never get bored driving it because of the power (Tuned @ 330WHP/320TQ) but I'm over the "race car" part of my life. I want something still fast but luxory. I miss sunroofs, navigation, being able to hear a phone call while driving the car, and not being followed by State Patrol when I drive the speed limit 99% of the time. If I could afford to keep both I would, I don't even really want to sell but if I don't then I feel like I will dump too much money into it.

Not too many people know about Evo's but if you say STI everyone knows their counter-part. The car itself is "cool" if you want a race car. It has no luxory features (power steering, rear seats don't fold down, stereo doesn't even play MP3's for a 34k Car NEW). It does have plenty of speed, handling (sticks to the ground on turns), and looks amazing. I just got a new job and I have to sit in traffic everyday and doing that on a 6 speed manual that constantly roaring is not how I want to do it I would definitely recommend driving a Evo if you haven't, you will fall in love.
