I'm seriously trying to work out if i wanna keep my zed or move on........just been problem after problem....nothing major just lots of little annoying ones, its slowly turning me against it. :sad: plus i like the Evo 7 :D
Your annoyed about problems then considering an Evo?
Dude the running costs of an Evo are just silly, it makes the MG look like a volvo in comparison :p
Awesome cars, but have a price tag to match ;)

if i get taken on full time at this place im defo buying either a Seat leon Cupra R or a CTR
if you can afford it fine, but you get annoyed at the little issues a 180 has, so an Evo7 is surely just doing to annoy you to a point of suicide? :p
And when I get a full time job I'm going to start saving for my next car, zed is becoming a track slag :)

That was a good one lol, but i've wanted an evo for a while, only my love for the zed has been stopping me.
Test drive the evo dude :) Simple!
Test drive an Impreza as well if 4wd rally road legal japanese turbo nutcases are you thing!
Not forgetting the Celica GT4 :)

im the same.
top gear just cemented it
i had a celica gt4a japan import it was a real nice car but it was no where near as quick as i though it was gonna be, maybe it was the 4 wheel drive but it never really felt like a quick car, the zs is a lot more fun to drive and it feels a dam site quicker! maybe just me tho!

I'll always keep mine as its just too much fun and I won't get anything back if I sold it :) - I will however buy a 2nd car though and the zed will be a track toy :)

every 2 years.... ive been driving 4 years and im about to but my 9th car. lol

thats my reason in one, something faster. i have spent about £800 on my zs and gained 16bhp. looking at an astra gsi turbo, £800 will get me about 60bhp on that

Have to agree with the wanting of an evo if I was working and not going back to uni Id be getting a 180 thats for sure and the evo is an obvious step up from that,

an evo 7 is a brilliant car, running costs I could never afford never mind the insurance!!!!! its like £4000 grand for me...lol and i'm 23, but only 3 years no claims!!!
a celica gt is an nice car too!!!
everyone does seem to be selling up at the mo....credit crunch, what credit crunch ..lol!!!

I thought i was bad, mind you ive had 3 cars in the last 2 years lol this one being the longest serving 1 year.
ST205 GT4 is a sweet car. A lot of the ones for sale need suspension bits replacing though (figure 8s usually) which is expensive. Much the same as most 180s on the market need the cambelt change! The GT4 takes kindly to visual mods too... they can look absolutely stunning - especially in white!
If you can afford the Evo 7... thats one hell of a car. Having said that I love the Evo 6 just as much if not more! White or red with WRC decals... mmmm!
Passed November 04 and I'm on my 9th :D
The ZS won't last past April, I want to buy something V6/V8 and have some real fun!
It's actually quite scary as I've always been a jap guy, but am leaning more towards American muscle at the mo!:blush:
Well i've been driving my dad's Evo X around recently and holy crap that was a lotta fun! I would definately think about moving on to an evo if you can afford one, well more if you can afford to run one!
and p.s.... 2007 & 2008 for me:

No dont get rid its a nice looking silver car,I too was thinking should i get rid of mine at one point because so many things went wrong with it in the first year,Lucky it was under waranty For me i look at it this way as alot has been replaced this will mean its like new again and will last longer,I might even have to stop driving for a year and there is no way i want to get rid of my car.

I'll have the ZS 2½ years next months and although i'd like something a little 'better' i've no real intention of selling it. My last 2 cars lasted 18 months each, so having it this long says something.
I did have a little fun with a Scooby on Saturday night though and he dropped back well on the corners. I might have been going a little 'hot' into them though. :blush: Understeer & 'tail happy' galore.
