                Completely random point but if you want to save a few quid on your evo:



                They also have the same three issues for £1 on octane and a few others.

                    They had it in last year in the "£10k heros" too, although they weren't too impressed with it then, well in comparison to the other cars they were testing. Clio V6 won in the end I think. One of the testers commented 'Nice tow car' or something similar!

                      Yes, I think a major concern was how the suspension / ride quality had deteriorated over the years, compared to the other cars on test. Sounds like the car in question was ready for a bush/damper refresh.

                          It's okay, Evo was on my doormat when I got home. Great article, and you are right about the last article, the RS2 did not go down well at all.

                          I was thinking of writing to them and asking them if they wanted to take a nearly standard S2 Coupe and see what they think!

                              I see they still refer to the RS2 having Bilstein dampers which wasn't the case.
                              A reasonable article otherwise.
