Hi,
test drove an ex demo Evo 9 MR FQ360 on Saturday in silver with 500 miles on the clock. Whilst I know its not German and not built inside like one it drives like nothign ive ever been in..
So think im gonna go for it which means im chopping my beloved Gti in PX.
Will miss her but the replacement will bee me smiling :smug:
-
good choice, they are beasts :cool:
-
Hope you're willing to get friendly with your local garage, it will be in their a lot. Awesome cars though :cool:
-
what ever do you mean, they need regular servicing or something? :evil:
-
Every 3000 miles isn't it?
-
every 4500 miles. Has 2 more years unlimited milage warranty left and 6 years corrosion warranty so anythign major will be covered.
Bring on the horses!

Bloody hell!
Is this going to be an everyday car, 4500 miles per service is stupid!

if you can afford to buy an fq you can afford the time and money to look after it.

I'd need it serviced 3 times a year if it was mine. So that would probably be close to £1K in servicing a year, yoikes! Still if you can afford it why the hell not. I struggle to justify spending more than £1K on an complete car let alone 12 months running costs, but that's me, I'm cheap.

great cars! cost a fortune to run but rest assured that won't bother you!
-
cheers guys!!! I dont do many miles any more so can justify it to my self. Thats what im saying anyway.
Will post some pics in the new year if I get it.
-
Perfect weather for it this time of year. Can't beat some 4 wheel drifting around wet roundabouts :evil: (on closed roads of course)
-
the fq400 is every 4500 the 360 is about 7000 miles. my mate has got a 360 and he has got it over 400brake. go for it mate you will love it
-
:wink:if you can afford to chop in and change then do it mate,you will not be disapointed.i chopped an ed30 for the same car back in april after only owning vw.[pics in my posts somewhere,not checked in for a while], if you have any questions post here or pm me,what number is it?

for once sharpie is talking sense. A car like that is for having fun in and not necessarily about bean counting. If you want to count beans then get a diesel. Hope you manage to get a good deal on the car. Post up some pic when you get it.

I think Mitsi were/are doing a servicing plan similar to the Mini TLC et al so that would be a definate I think.

Ohhhh nice motors. Fair play.
-
You lucky git I test drove an FQ340 amd oh my god that are the nuts. Illl definatly get one at some point. :cool:
-
Quick car etc etc etc, BUT the grass isnt always greener! :huh: Call me a badge snob but i hate jap cars look tacky, built sh!te, and you,ll look like a chav, all you need is a baseball cap and a replica rally jacket!!lol :grin: :grin:
Keep it german IMO... Think i,d get sick as a daily runner TOO extreme..
But each to their own as they say..
-
lush cars, bloke down the road from me has one in white and it is :drool: :drool: :drool: go for it mate they sound awesome!
-
Buy it, buy it, buy it! If I wanted something quicker I would definately look at one. In real world conditions, nothing can touch it.
-
make sure its well secured when not in use too. the scums like to nick those cars!
as for warranty...hmmm not sure how many Mitsi dealers will be around at end of 09. The Jap company itself might have gone tits up by that time.....if big companies like Honda and Toyota are cutting back just imagine what the smaller ones are having to deal with.
still plenty of tuners out there to help you spend your hard earned. Avoid Car Planet up north (ex RC Dev crew)....to do anything to your car.
If you want more horses...simple ECUTEK remap will take the car close to 400 ponies!
Enjoy.

....
I service my Mk5 GTI every 10,000 miles anyway.
I've got a test drive coming up in an Evo X as soon as a SST (like DSG) version is available.
