[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

 

[DanzEterna]

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...

Will do bro, will do...tq

 

[abgDOL]

i'll choose subaru impreza because so many evo and evojadian at our road already :D

 

[huakenny]

1) Maintenance wise :hmmmm:

basic maintenance n fluids pricing is the same, just some parts the labour charges are higher due to the difficulty.

2) I'll be using either one stock till die (only minor mods eg: exhaust, boost controller etc etc)

when u buy car, u will say this. but u wil change ur minds after that. trust me :)

3) Parts? (from what i've heard, evo has so many aftermarket and parts)

both evo n scobby got alot aftermarket n ori parts for sales. just modification cost for scooby is higher.

i.e, u can repalce metal head gasket on evo easily but for scooby, its not..engine kena keluar :)

4) Both of the car i loike very much.....

S203 is special edition wit 320hp...interior, exterior and suspension all special. the engine also balanced d. its a good car if u r opt for minor mods. the recaro kevlar seats are so rare and 2nd hand value for that seats is bout rm2x,xxx. :)

jack up the car, there are so many pink color stuffs installed :)

5) Reliable workshop for both type car?:hmmmm:

if just like ur Q2 (minor mods)...most of the mech oso can do

 

[hachiroku80]

Thanks kenny, really appreciate it!

 

[karl_razlie]

choose ...blooob..bloob...blooobbb....even at traffic light..if u close ur eyes u will noe itz scooby...heheheh not like evo...when close eyes we still dunno izzit evo, wajavo or wiravo.... coz sound same oni...hehehehe

 

[hon_cs]

if daily drive and easy to maintain, i suggest Altezza RS200 with 6speed. Else Mr2 is a nice car and not to mention very fun to drive due to engine layout design.

 

[MatLia]

Lets ur soul speak for it self. Both monster is awesome to owns. Its either u willing to take any consideration (maintenance, modification & tuning cost) its have or not.

Safe driving dude...
