Hello

I would need som advices from you KL racers regarding EVO's in town.
I will move to KL next month from overseas for an year long project. I will driva a lot
with the car approx 500,600 km a week highway run. Is maintenance cost much higher on EVO
compared with other Japanese car models and how is FC.
Is EVO sutiable for daily use, I am driving Huyndai Sonata 24 which is too boring.

thanks for any advices

Yes correct it is 500 to 600 km per week, I'am from Finland and I'am not very used to

sutiable for my needs and where to find cars and service.

Hi,

Since you will be travelling so much mileage weekly, best option to get an evo8 if you are on a budget. if you have extra to spend, preferbly get the evo9. Both cars will have a very significant higher mileage compared to the evo7.

Reason is because of the 6-spd gear box in the 8 and 9.

For a stock standard evo 8, with the basic airfilter/exhaust mods, and an ECU reflash, you probably can hit 500km per full tank in highway driving. For the evo9 with the mivec technology, possibly slightly better 550km per full tank.

That is cruising speed, should you be flying in the highways i estimate that a full tank will bring you around 400-450km in the evo8 with speeds averaging 180kmh.

Finding the cars depend on which dealer you go to. Preferbly go to reputable car dealers, and friend referrals. Some dealers refurbish the car so well that you won't know the history of the car and it looks tip top until a couple of months later you notice your car behaving wierdly.

If you need more info, you can drop me a PM.
