I do miss that low down grunt & my burble.The Evo needs 3000rpm then it's off where the Scoob was away at 2500rpm. I do go into the garage start the scoob & smile. In many way's the Scoob is a better car, paint work, gearbox, easy to drive a better day to day car. I think with this model Evo they spent the money on aluminium bits all over the place. Bilstien suspention alloy cross members, ect, even the roof on this model is alloy. I need more time with this Evo then i will make my mind up. Its not a step up in cars, but there is something about it i really like.
