It looks SO GOOD without the goofy wanna-be Peugeot front grill.

lol they said it best on top gear, the only reason you buy a boxster, is because you cant afford the 911. lol. but really, i hate the look of them, BUT the 2k5+ models are hott biz. too bad they are still really... really... pricey

I guess i need to ride in/drive a slightly modded s2k to see what its really like. Im a fairly large guy at 6'2 245 lbs. I like the 4 doors of the evo and sti, but dont really like the way the sti looks.
FYI: Insurrance for a 2004 ZO6 was $10 more per month than my 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata. They are not super expensive to insure...or purchase. There are quite a few for sale, within a day trips driving distance, for around $35k.

From the cars you listed, I'd definitely chose the EVO. I like their combonation of speed/handling/space.

If it's the looks that bother you, you might be able to change the looks to your liking . A nice set of wheels, a drop, and maybe some body mods can make them look very nice. And besides that, it's considered by many to be one of the best sports cars out there.

Go drive one

I drove a Boxster before I bought my car and I was extremely impressed. If I wasn't attempting to drop my payment down, I would have bought it.

You can buy a 996 front bumper for not that much at all and it'll just bolt right up.

Why would you consider an EVO? Why would you want to buy a car from a company thats in Bankrupcy? The EVOs also have constant clutch and Diff problems, weve replaced a ton of em. My vote goes to STi or M3.
