MRS' is the 3rd gen mr2 which isn't offered in canada

also the GTO is the pontiac one not the dsm.

Evo is hot! haha yep more evo coming in for sure! but remember not all car is problem free!

Evo major problem is the tranny but the engine is just too damn reliable

I love sti too i drive an EVO whats with the hate? differences for each car.

thumper 09-11-2009 06:34 AM
ugh sorry my comments are being construed as hate towards the evo... it's not! i like the car very much and if i had an opportunity to own one i would give it a try (i used to own a "boring" wrx ;) ).

but i have never been in the current model. dealerships won't allow test drives without deposit w/intent to buy, so i only have magazine articles to rely on :(

Evil IX: how much do you charge for RS test rides? :D

I dont think there are any MAJOR tranny problems with the evo unless you drive mad everyday and have a mass amount of aftermarket power. Stock w/ exauhst intake, you know the minor typical mods.

Its actually called an MRS. Gutless cars really.

one problem in the evo 8 or 9 is the clutch.

oem clutch is known to break down premature-ly. so if you get an evo and decide to mod with the stock clutch, it will die.

i know because i need a clutch replacement at 28k miles. i think the first owner of my car used to have bolt on mods before i bought it. that why it went.

other than that, im loving it!

In America, they were called the MR2 Spyder. MR-S is the JDM name.
sorta gutless, but they still pack a decent punch since they weigh slightly under 1000kg.

Even though I drive an Evo, I've always liked the STIs! I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

There isn't any problem as Blood said unless you are going to mod it over 400 + hp then the 6 speed MR would likely blow faster than the 5 Speed because the 5 speed was built stronger. Many evo owners from states blew their tranny up because basically too much power for the tranny can handle, but the engine is FINE. So well built motor failed tranny...

But don't get the confusion as the 6 speed is bad, at the end it depends how you drive your car. If you don't rev match and do kick out often then the tranny will have a shorter life etc....

I've sat in both Evo IX MR, and STi. STi pulls waaaaaaaay harder. Sometimes I think my civic pulls harder than the Evo IX. lol

What about the dual clutch system in the Current EVO X, any problems? since its kinda like an automatic tranny

currently the power the SST can handle in the stock form is 330-350 pounds of torque, anymore then the fluid will boil when actually eat the up the clutch plates on prolong driving. The solution to this is to either install an extra fluid cooler or actually change the clutch, but no one has replaced the clutch on their SST yet.

Well a 2.5 L engine and a 2.0 L of course the STI would pull harder with more TQ

did you happen to sit in your friend's STi that has a GT35 running meth? ;) That could be the reason why the STi pulls harder :P

early gen usd evo VIII (03-04) has very weak stock clutch and if u buy from state 99% has been beaten the shit out of the gearbox. Not to mention the easily blown transfer case problem...(i think around 06 Evo IX they start equipping launch limiter (1st gear @3000rpm) to solve this problem so pp can't blown up their transmission launching at 5000+rpm) All the evo VIII, IX, MR owners i've met in US, autox , track or drive like you stole it, one way or another. I'll advise pick up an Evo X instead....

p.s. 03 VIII are especially problematic

LOL. No, it's not that one. It's another bone stock 07 STI.

And for the record, evo's make more power easier than the sti. Also the evo 9 engine is superior to the evo 8 engine. If you're afraid of pushing the transmission, send it back to shep trans for a ~$1000 upgrade that will make it hold 600-700whp all day no problem.
