[zacque.zairy]

Dear ZTHians,

I noe this topic has been discussed all the way back before among all u gurus out there....But pls.....i need to noe everything from u all, whats the best both of the car has to offer...

1) Maintenance wise :hmmmm:
2) I'll be using either one stock till die (only minor mods eg: exhaust, boost controller etc etc)
3) Parts? (from what i've heard, evo has so many aftermarket and parts)
4) Both of the car i loike very much.....
5) Reliable workshop for both type car?:hmmmm:

Any comments? Pls give me feed back...currently lost my dearie wira E3....last week...thinking of trading my wifey Caldina GT-four N with myvi/viva....and duit lebih topup either one above....heheheheeh....thanks in advance

no news bout your wira E3 yet ah bro? hope to hear from u soon...wah got caldina summore....
from my point of view, i will definately choose Evo8MR, cos both s203 & e8MR are limited edition cars.....but E8MR maintanance should be much more cheaper.........

E8MR - lotsa performance parts in the market, cheaper maintanance,

S203 - lotsa performance parts also, but not many compared to E8MR, parts could be sourced from SG, but then again, its abit pricey. maintainance wise, of course there are a few impreza tuners in sunway. if specialist have to be done @ Subaru motor image @ federal highway.

Evo better coz many tuner know how to do wth evo engine...and for scooby not so many tuner/mechanic understand this engine...parts also a bit pricey and hard to find...good things scooby more fierce, wild look n sound good too...hehehe....blob..blob...blobbbb luv it...:)

S203 its preduce bout 320hp...EVO 8 MR bout 271hp...but the S203 maintained it's too expensive maybe it's the BOXER i think...and not all the 'POMEN' now the BOXER engine...HMMMMMM...!!:hmmmm:.....may be go to EVO 8 MR...but S203 is good car too

 

[karl_razlie]

i tot only normal evo 271/280hp..MR i think more than that...there esp lmtd edition like MR FQ300 or 400...
