Where got exotics..we cannot even afford exotics la...hahaha

I heard the EvoX not as powerful as the Evo 9 leh...I dun like ah beng cars ...

hehehehe oh yeah I think problemchylde (Peter) has 1

I am an old ah beng at heart! hahaha... I know it is a waste of the car's power in our roads here... But somehow the idea of having all the potential is enticing... muahahaha....

i feel that the driver plays a part in how the car perform. last time play S13, driver/owner of car cannot get a good time for quarter mile. then switch driver. got fastest time.

also need to compare what is done. the horsepower should be similar. then the same driver whack both cars over a specific distance. then the test will be more accurate. need to assume that the driver is familiar to both cars to get the maximim out of the car.

Evo is more expensive but all the works already done. WRX is cheaper but need to modify some more.

ya many factor that make the car behave differently. best that those who want to buy go and test themselves and make sure they like.

for space... hard to beat camry, cefire or the new accord. Boot can put 4 golf bags easy...

cefiro resale value not so good, camry is workhorse, very reliable, simple car somemore. accord is nice and refined, but you pay for that 'luxury'

It's not how much power a car has
It's how the power is used...

Looks good on the outside....but doesn't seem spacious on the inside. I was also looking at that...hhehe I sat on the GS300 a few times...I think 1 problem is the boot...it's not userfriendly...the opening so small...want to put big things also hard..have to tilt then put in. Comfort wise it's gd...leg room and stuff are ok

Oh yeah...any more recommendations for a nice spacious car? that's less than 2L? or 2L at the most?

the problem with these "sports sedan" all have short rear overhangs, this include the GS300,430,430H.

if you want long wheelbase, you should be looking at the LD460 that my friend is a dream car. too bad i never drive before.

Hmm... Looks like all the current talk is about luxury cars like Lexus, Mercs and exotics... How about changing topic to some hardcore Jap racers like the Mitsubishi Evo X for a change?? For one, I am seriously toying with the idea of getting one next year!

Any bros/sistas have experience with the Evo?

I went to the showroom and sat in it, and immediately gave up the idea of a test drive. The cabin was so small, that I was bumping into the sides, and my legs couldn't really stretch out properly. Other than that, the car looked very typical Jap-lux design, which is to say, similar to the executive cars, nothing that really stands out.

thinking of getting the is250 but the car like very small leh..
hmmmm is200.. last time my friend drive the toyota altezza. the manual version of is200? very powerful car. so bro, you last time got join car forums?

is250 imo not worth it, for the money save abit more can get GS power and luxury combined, that put it same class as volvo S80, Audi A4/A6, merc E class.
somemore lexus car retain value quite good, if you want to reexport, can do so because lexus quality is reknowned.

i wanted to import the toyota altezza from jap to Oz, but my stupid gov't wont allow the auto version of the IS200 is said to be abit tiring and sluggish.

last time got join the aussie skyline/altezza forums, but never frequent for light yrs already
last time i wanted to import used car from SG to Oz, but found out cannot do so , or at least not as easy as i thought it would be.

never tried the IS250 but i *hear* it is less sporty and more refined Somehow i prefer the older IS200 (2000cc, easy to modify), somemore easier to find preowned.
