Default Evo Estates!

Popped in to Car Planet in Warrington to have a look at an STi Forester.
Considering moving from the Legacy to get more power

Spotted a couple of EVO estates and actually quite liked it!

Are they as tuneable as the saloons?
They all seem to be auto's is that a problem for more power?
How reliable are these?
Any one tried one or run one?

I didn't until I found two of the rascals!

Done some more digging

It is an EVO IX in a lightened Lancer Wagon shell.
Badged GT for manual and GTA for Auto. They only made 2500 for the Jap market.

Seems to be a great piece of kit
This made me chuckle!

I love the bonkers contrast of the sports car front and the wagon body on that new Stagea!

I used to design cars like that when I was a kid!

Make the dog sick!

They are so much more fun than those jacked-up crossover bollockmobiles.
