-
Evo find the s3 a little dull so if the golf has done ok go figure it's the same car underneath :confused:
-

I'm pretty sure there has been a Driven article on the Golf .:R and they found it a more exciting drive than the S3 then. Maybe there are subtle differences underneath the skin.

It is strange, s3 never reviews well, poor ride, no steering feel and laggy engine. Golf r seems to be doing very well and obviously the mk5 gti always reviewed very well against the s3
-
I'd love to know what's going on with my Evo subscription. Didn't get it last month, and not here this month yet. Maybe the postman has got into performance cars.

This is why they prefer the Golf:

SNAP.
Read that last night....can't believe they think the GT2 RS and GT3 RS looks almost identical, and didn't mention the most obvious external difference between a Turbo'd 911 and a non-turbo'd 911. Silly boys. But what a selection of toys they had to play with this year!

If you have not had yours yet, I dare say it will be on the doorstep soon. Bit dusty, been in a North Face bag all weekend.

Because they are worlds apart the GT3 and GT2 :signLOL:
-
Havent got mine yet either!
-
So is it worth buying just to read that review or not?
-
evo is always worth buying, the only car mag worth buying tbh, as for the golf r, it got three and a half stars which is rubbish. dont like the 4wd (as its not its fwd) and dont seem to like dsg( because its boring) :signLOL: to be honest was never gonna compete with the sti and evo in terms of driving but thats not what its gonna be bought for, like all golfs its an everyday car, because that what they do best.

You'll need a passenger ride in the RS3 or TT-RS - preferrably a mapped one :wink:
-
im not saying i dont like the golf r cos i do, i would have it over the others, what im saying is the none of the above are gonna beat the sti or evo in terms of having a blast, but yeah i will have a ride in the rs3 when you get it :wink:

No, but to clarify a little more the Autosport show has had very good subscription offers on over the last 3 years :happy2:

evo is a pile of wank.
I dont need to read their mag to find out what the vedict will be!

One in a million :signLOL:
-
My guess is 3rd out of 3 in the test, it's overpriced and you should save money by getting a GTI instead??

evo is a about drivers cars, they dont worry about mpg, boot space, comfort etc.., hence why some cars get bad reviews, not a pile of wank is it. and again it was easy to work out that golf r would not win that test, if you want to know about how a car is to own and live with buy what car, if you want a drivers car buy evo.

Here here!
Childish comments like the above should be kept to ones self.
EVO is THE best Car Magazine available to buy at the moment.
As was Performance Car back in the 80's which EVO kinda sprang from.
-
if you want a drivers car and have 150 grand to spend buy evo.
FYP. :happy2:
-
Their reviews of Audi and VW cars are fairly predictable, but then so are Audi and VW cars, so it's hardly a surprise!
They seem pretty fond of their TT-RS long-termer, it just doesn't seem to be a car they have fallen in love with. The RS5 on the other hand, well they absolutely hated it!
Must be a great job writing for the mag!

EGO magazine is a pile of wank. Im not saying this because VAGs dont do too well, I couldnt care less, but what exactly do you learn new from reading the evo mag? I can summarise to you what they would say if the did a test against a 997.2 gt3 rs vs the 458 italia, because quite frankly it wont be all that much different from when they did the f430 vs 997 gt3 rs.
Plus unless we win the lottery its unlikely any of us will ever be able to afford 97% of the cars they rave on about in that mag.
Whatcar isnt a car enthusiasts mag either its a guide for people who arent really interested in cars but need help deciding on what to buy next.
The germans do car magazines the best, they do all types of cars, with proper data, info and statistics that they have achieved themselves instead of quoting the MF claims
-
i agree with poverty. i used to buy evo all the time, but i got bored of reading about supercars that ill neverbe able to afford. There was a magazine out a while back called PerformanceCar, the only cars in that were affordable performance motors and it was really good, with proper performance comparisons etc, but they stopped producing it
-
Sorry guys but I enjoy EVO immensely. Not only is the photography spot on the writing is excellent. I know I can't afford a GT3:RS but reading about it from these guys is the next best thing.
They do cover "normal" cars as well and have interesting motoring related features that I enjoy reading.
Sorry if you guys find it a "pile of wank". Guess you will be fooked once Max Power goes.

I have to agree, Us lot who love cars are just little boys really who never grew up. I love reading and seeing great pics of ridiculously expensive cars. I come here for my dose of reality. :sad1:

Max power is a pile of wank too.
You guys need to take up german and read some real car reviews, they even review tuned cars, for example a 333hp rocco r dsg which lapped Sachsenring faster than a BMW M3 GTS and it's just one second behind a 997.2 GT3 on the same tyres! With a full interior. Something us ordinary folk can aspire to :happy2:

Mann kann das gut Deutsch sprechen und lesen. :P
Although I am a bit rusty. :rolleye:

Germans should be forced to permanently speak English as they lost the right when they lost the war :rolleye:
I do agree that EVO leans towards the expensive end of the market, but every now and then they do review modded cars.....don't forget that they were the first to review the REVO Leon and when they do comparison testing they use actual performance figures gained form the Racelogic performance box. All their comparative data they have for the west circuit is in the back of the magazine and when you look at the data figures in the magazine, the ones in bold are figures EVO have achieved and range from supermini's to supercars.
As is often said on here though ETTO :happy2:
PS - only kidding about the Germans :innocent:
-
And they also tested the red vwr car too after I had it that day :signLOL:
