You need to ask yourself a few questions.
1. Are you going to mod it? 2. Do you prefer Turbo or N/A? 3. Do you need back seats? 4. Do you want to struggle in the snow with RWD? 5.Will you have a winter beater if you get the Z? etc.

I would say in your situation, get the evo...I considered the evo as well, but when I found out that that nissan had a 380rs and were going through with the G37, I knew it would only be a matter of time before they released the 370. I live in the south (hate it) and it only snows MAYBE once a year so =/ but it sounds like the evo would be a little easier for you. Unless you get a boner every time you look at the 370 like me

If you need a back seat then the Evo obviously makes more sense. It snows in cincy, and you will most likely have to park it and drive your ML. I would tell you to get a Z since you are on a Z forum but it looks like the EVO would be a better fit for what you need. Btw, where in cincy are you? |

LOL! Call me a fanboi, but Z!!! I'm not a fan of 4 doors, but if I needed a car with 4 doors, the Evo would really be a top candidate.

I buy my cars based on 3 things:
1: Performance/Fun to Drive (BOTH Z and Evo) 2: Looks (Z) 3: Reliability (Nissan over Mitsubishi) That's just my opinion. But if you definitely need the all wheel drive and 4 seater than the Evo would be a good car. |

Get some Blizzak tires for winter driving on the Z and it will be alot better in the snow than before but not as good as the EVO. I love em both but if inclement weather scares you go with the EVO. I daily drive my Z all year round here in NYC. Only the really bad snow/ice days I dont drive it.

Actually, Mitsubishi has better quality and dependability ratings than Nissan, and the warranty is... simply amazing.
![]() In any case, definitely G37xS. AWD, sporty, and all that jazz. Only downside for some, however, is that there's not stick on the xS. |

Motor-wise, any boosted DSM engine will eventually go through crank-walk... Sorry, I don't like DSM motors or trannies. Their warranty is useless if your car is in the shop all the time. I've had a few cars with DSM motors and wasn't impressed. And the Mistu Eclipse I drove around was a hunk of crap. (But it was still pretty fun to dive around)
