Preferably Evo 7's as i dont like the older ones and cant afford £280 a month to insure an Evo 9 mr fq340
What would be the best model to go for? Maybe a Sprint or somthing?
Dont know much about them.
(looking to spend about 10k in a long term plan lol)

i might get shot down for this but if you cant afford £280 i dont think an evo 7 is the right car for you. Do ALOT of research before buying one though because you wont like running costs

Lets be honest, if you buy an Evo, you have to use it as it is a sports car.

10mpg only if your driving like its on hire surely? I remember Big Eck saying his isnt too bad.

My M3 will return shit mpg if I really tried hard.......but usually I get between 23-30mpg though just driving as the road allows.

I used to drive Lisas Evo 7 quite a lot, that was just under 300bhp, it would chew through a £45ish full tank of fuel in about 200 miles mixed driving inc motorways. Dont forget to take into account servicing costs, its dear with oil change every 4-5k miles iirc.
