370Z vs EvoX
 

Hi,
I am new in here, I currently have a Mitsubishi Lancer, and its time for an upgrade. I am thinking between this 2 choices and I wanted to know what do you guys think between either the EvoX or the 370z. :driving:

Thanks

One is a four door, four cylinder turbo, AWD and the other is a two door, V6, RWD.
These two cars are very different in both style, power, handling, etc.

Best bet, go test drive them back to back.

Well, 98% of the people will tell you the 370Z because...........duh, it is a 370 forum.

However, is your choice! Test drive both of them and make your purchase on the intended use of the vehicle.

GL.

Here we go again. It's like deja vu

Here we go again. It's like deja vu.

I recently went to look at Evos and STIs with a friend who was shopping for a new car. I can tell you that the STI (and possibly the EVO, but I didn't drive it) have noticeable turbo lag. While the reviews always minimize the lag, I found the STI didn't really get moving until 4500 RPM. My suspicion is the Evo is similar. The fit and finish was also below the 370's. The Evo is very nice inside but IMHO doesn't have the styling of the Z. The Recaro seats were a problem point for my friend as well...he's about 6' 220lbs. I'm 5'10", 180lbs and they were snug but comfortable.

Having driven the STI, I wouldn't trade the strong, even pull from the 370's NA V6 for either the Evo or the STI. The 370 also has a growl and exhaust presence that the Evo completely lacks.

^ Ironic double post

Let me make this easy for you!

Does an interior matter to you? If so, buy the 370Z

Do you live in an area where you get a lot of snow and must get to work/class/etc 100% of the time? If so, buy the Evo X

Do you have a family that requires 4 doors? Evo X

Do you want a car that was "built" as a sports car? 370Z

I had this choice too and I went with the 370Z. I don't regret it at all, but both are very good cars.

He probably still running Dial up...

:iagree:
:iagree:
:iagree:

i think you should just get a evolution X sticker and place on your lancer.

lol. My friend bought a wrx as a beater and it had STI badges. I called it an FTI and he took em off like 2 days after he bought it. thing ran pretty good for almost 140k miles on it.

For the OP, if you go test drive the EVO X and Z, the EVO is gonna ride nicer just to let you know. I test drove a bunch of cars before I bought the Z and my favorites were the 335i, EVO, and C6 Vette. Everything else had their issues. The Z has a very naughty clutch and the transmission talks to you during 1st and 2nd gear shifts! It says "click clickidy click-click" or somehting like that. The STI has a cheap interior and is too dam expensive for... well a Subaru. If you test drive the cars back to back just be prewarned the EVO will have a nicer ride.

sports coupe vs turbo grocery getter?:p

sad part is some folks here use their z to go grocery shopping...and even walmart... actually they use their z for everything. :shakes head: including their job for domino's delivery. hahaha (ok, not sure about the last one).

not that the z is some expensive car, but i like to use it for motoring....and only that.

Some days you just can't part with the thing I love hauling @$$ out to T-bell

Having had a Evo b4 the Z there are a lot of things I miss about the evo. But since you've never had a turbo AWD one, you'll never know what you're missing out on.. so go ahead and get the Z. If you want an Evo get a Evo 9.. you dont want the 3550lb X. If you want something thats AWD and turbo get a 996 911 turbo for 36k and call it a day.. thats what I might do

Thats how a ***** eat! LOL

Ibtl!

If I had a Z, it would go with me everywhere I went. Nothing wrong with using a car as.... well, a car. :tup:

So if the Evo is great for spped and performance then why dont they put that into a sports car body? Ie. 2 door and cool looking to go with the speed? I personally hate 4 doors except as a family car. Ive always wondered about this.

Why criticize a 4 door car when it has the same capabilities as a 2 door..but with extra room?

p.s not trying to bash your post. I just think mitsu is thinking outside of the box...damn now i want Taco bell. mmm tacos

If I had to have a 4 door car i would rock an Evo X

I just think a 2 door performer would sell better than a 4 door one, or maybe do both?

a two door sports evo would be pretty cool. some audis are AWD sports coupe but the are heavy and dont have the same performance unless you get the v8

I dont know the TTS is 3200 lbs and does 0 60 in 4.9 stock and thats with extra weight of DSG, Quattro, turbo. Chipped and aftermarket exhaust its around 4.6 secs. I had a 2.0T FWD TT, DSG and with aftermarket exhaust and chip it did 0 60 in 5.5 secs. Not bad numbers for a sports car. Audi used aluminum framing to help keep weight down.

haha, yah, i guess so. to me the Z a toy than a car so i guess i see mine differently. :p

The Z is my daily driver and the only car I have here with me in TX right now so its driven all the time. 12K miles on it now. Which reminds me, my fuel filter maintenace light came on. We change our fuel filter at 12k miles?

I agree. I had to drive the Z for 2wks straight because my Benz was in the shop. I couldn't put the car cover on it because it was dirty and it even got snow on it. The Z won't be driven again until March.

It's the style. The Evo and the WRX have always been about AWD, 4 doors and a turbo. Also I think the Evo X looks pretty mean, tbh. I think the 370 is sexier from a car standpoint, but the Evo X is meaner looking. It just looks pissed off.

Excuse me but the lameness level with this is thru the roof. How old are you...12? Here's one for you..... :shakes head:

Some people treat their Z like an exotic and thats fine especially if its their first upgraded car. I know when I got my Audi I babyed her but she was still my daily driver I just kept her clean and took care of her. Im a little less anal with the Z right now as I feel its my nice quick daily driver and since I cant afford to have two cars for myself it gets driven alot. Trust me when I was starting out and had to buy cheap civics (20 yrs ago), if I could have afforded a car like the Z I would have been very anal about it.

And yes I go grocery shopping in mine. I just get alot of looks for using the Z.

Do you wanna get an Evo X and still look like you're driving a Lancer? :roflpuke2:

Agreed, its just an everyday car IMO. Hell just about any car I get will be unless its some special classic car!

Ha! Same here...:tup:

I'm with this guy. Cars are meant to be driven.

I'd love to daily-drive just about any car.

i currently own an evo x and want to trade for a 370 z. if you want all out performance get the evo x. if anything else matters to you, get the 370. the nissans quality is way above the evo, but you CANNOT beat the performance of the evo x in this price range.

yah that would suck. i'd probably do a rental. :tup:

Haha! Yeah for me it would be more similar to a significant other... ahhh I wish. :rolleyes:

I treat most of my new cars as exotic, so my 370Z is no different and is not my first "upgraded car". I'm very anal with my cars so I always have a "hupty" as a DD. ;)

Id like to have a used car as an alternate but Im pay ins and payments on my dau and sons (not ins for him) car. Once dau is out of college and son is more set with current job.............Im in the money! LOL but I will probably trade in for another European car and buy the wife a new car too and keep her current car (Jeep liberty) as a hupty.
