STI vs EVO vs RX-8
-
Making a comparison .
Which one would you prefer in sg road?
My take: i would prefer RX-8.
Reasons: more comfortable ride, cheaper maintainance, lower fuel consumption, cheap road tax
, look stylo like a coupe(it is a coupe with hidden doors), good grip with 18" for the type-s.
Downside: die die only 4 person can sit. no room to squeeze. legally it already max out that only 4 can sit in a car with belts on. illegally any car can squeeze in at least 6 easily. -
i like evo viii better, except for that stupid big mitsubishi logo at the front.
-
stock vs stock, i confirm go for the RX-8 type-S.
talk bout mod potentials, then its gotta be the EVO. rotary engines very hard to tune leh.
the STI is nice, but difficult to mod (change one bloody head gasket also need to drop the engine). plus, takes more money to mod it to be as fast as a EVO with less works done. -
may i know whats the price of RX-8 on market now?? thks alot.
-
rx-8 cheaper to maintain meh its even more difficult leh coz its rotary nt many mech in sg r pro in such engines and i don think its lower in fuel comsumption juz bcoz its a 1.3litre car it drinks like the big bros like rex and evo but maybe juz slightly better as for mod yeah its realli a headache. 18inch does nt proof it will hav gd grip on the rd it depends veri much on the tyres u r usin. any car can fit 18" but ur tyre is those cheapo type hw hee hee i will go for evo anytime tons of mod mech familiar wif the car hee heeOriginally posted by Goodeal:Making a comparison .

EVO. RX-8, even the type S, nowhere as fast or as composed a ride.

come on fellows...
u r all flowing off track...
i am talking about the ideal car on sg road
so we will compare stocks to stocks
if the car modify here modify there...lose purpose already
i am talking about practicability here
RX-8 greatly improved its fuel economy. definately save more fuel than evo or wrx sti.
i dont remember the litre per 100 km thing
those interested can check it out in the internet...i am lazy -
I dun think so....and besides...i dun really trust rotary engines...expensive to maintain and not reliable comapred to piston engines....lower torque too
-
RX8 advantage - 1.3 l lower road, very quiet, almost vibration-less compare to piston engine. Very sport and it turns head. Interior styling is very nice. Cheaper than STI or Evo.Originally posted by Goodeal:come on fellows...

Disadvantage - small, lack of power compare to STI and WRX. High fuel consumption (rotary engine). Lack of turbo like RX7. Very un-moddable. -

i like STI the best.
prefer EVO 7 than EVO 8... -
i would like EVO8

Bro...comparing Rx-8 to EVOs n Rex...i rather take EVOs and Rexs coz for RX-8 the fuel comsumption is high as it is using a rotary engine. Rotary engine consumes alot of petrol. Rx-8 is a non-turbo yet it has 220bhp...imagine how much petrol u gonna use to have tat power... rx-8 is for those with really deep pockets.but its a nice car comparing it to evo or rex. I still prefer FD3s(Rx-7) - more power and worth the petrol consumption coz its turbocharged!Originally posted by Goodeal:come on fellows...

Heh perhaps it'd be more appropriate to ask ppl who actually OWN and DRIVE these cars for their opinions since you are talking about Singapore.
All talk is no use -
i own a real EVO7 engine. does that count?Originally posted by GZai:Heh perhaps it'd be more appropriate to ask ppl who actually OWN and DRIVE these cars for their opinions since you are talking about Singapore.

But UNreliable.....although handling-wise it's the best on a circuit... won a R34 quite easily.....Originally posted by KhidMasAE86:Bro...comparing Rx-8 to EVOs n Rex...i rather take EVOs and Rexs coz for RX-8 the fuel comsumption is high as it is using a rotary engine.

Ideal for Singapore road? Grab a cab... no use performing all the sensitivity analysis when at the end of the day, hopping into a cab is cheaper and easier.
But if you want a car? I would say the Evo. Road handling - the scooby and the rx8 is no comparison. The rex and the rx8 has comparatively bad understeer compared to the evo. fuel consumption - my evo does 400km to 55l not exactly fuel efficient. its relatively more. spacious- evo and rex wins hands down. Power? Obviously the evo and rex. Evo and rx8 wins on exclusivity. Ultimately, its the look - if you like the rex, go get it; if you like the rx8, go get it. I fell for the evo not just becos of the looks but becos its a legend. -
400 to 55l? thats quite efficient liao conisdering the bhp..

If you already drove these monsters before i think we are eligible to put up our opinion. Nothing wrong to talk also...not offending ppl what...Originally posted by GZai:Heh perhaps it'd be more appropriate to ask ppl who actually OWN and DRIVE these cars for their opinions since you are talking about Singapore.

well FYI the RX7 won the EVO easily on the track.....EVO handles well but not as near as the RX7...but 4 economy-wise and power wise i'd take the EVO....more torque and reliable....But I'd only pick the EVO6

rx8: like a bmw, but with more power, higher fuel consumption.
wrx: It's the new honda civic. i see wrxes everywhere now. latest trend. Nice interior.
evo8: Exclusive sports car.
Among these three cars, i find the rex as neutral, and the best all round car here. while the evo is a mean performance machine. And the rx8 is like inbetween a performance car and a sports sedan.
but if you ask me, i'd prefer to have a skyline.

say so much end up you choose skyline.... -
haha...cool skyline...
nevertheless all these cars i posted are great cars.
how many of you here do drifting around the corners?
how many of you ever drop 3rd and corner the S corner outside park mall at 100kph?
be realistic man...the reason i choose RX-8 is becoz i could use the power for straight, some decent power to move me around sg.
i believe those who drove a evo or rex here will agree with me that it is a hassle to drive them slow or well.
actually all depends on personal opinion.
i prefer comfort over performance.
for the boy racers, no offend but try to imagine this...you got your most desire ride, the fastest on earth. the EVO...you got out to the street...got trashed by mod civics than u went to mod your EVO. you won the civics! lost to other MOD evo or rex. angry, frustrated you press on harder...accident. who in the end wasted so much money on the car? who in the end got his licence scrap? who in the end suffer heavy bump on his ride? how to hook girls in a evo when the ride is so harsh? hmm....think about it.
