Mike - Thats one of the things that i dont really want is a high running cost, whats a service cost for a V6 and how often do you have to have one done?The other good thing about a V6 is that i wouldnt want to buy any wheels or anything for the V6 cause its already sexy, whereas if i got a Scooby or Evo i would be tempted to spend money on wheels, lowering blah blah blah.. im boring myself now!.
Stus post at the top of this page answers this pretty well. Running costs are like a 172 but with 10 mpg less. Tyres cost more but last much longer. Ditto brake pads.
Just out of interest are all Evos from 5 onwards very high running costs (petrol, servicing, repairs etc) or is it jus the newer models?
The Evo 6 is a fantastic looking car, very aggressive stance. However, for all out looks and rarity the V6 is stunning.
The evo all day as it wont fall to bits or rattle like the clio will (at the end of the day its still a renault clio). It may have a V6 but it doesnt mean its worthy of the over the top price tag they put on them IMHO.

Funny to read how some people fall in to the "how fast does it go" camp and others in to the "how much fun is it to drive" camp.

350Zs are cack i must say, theres a lad here where i work got one, he took me out and let me drive and im not impressed. Hes selling his now cause he now sees the light.
Its good where i work cause all cars that people would want these guys have got. I work in a building of Software Developers and DBAs so theyve all got dosh, although im a software developer i also have a 2 bedroom house by myself which keeps me watching my money!. I speak to them about what the cars are like but they are nearly all old and drive them no more than 3,500 revs!!.
