Handling wise, the Evo will be big step up from the Pulsar from what I hear.

But if it will be kept for nice days, then yeah why not have some drift scene in your life. More exciting going sideways quickly than going forwards quickly!

Des, for as long as ive known u i no u Love the pulsar, but some times if u feel the need to change then u change. mate, id go for the rx-7 all day, rwd fun at ur rite foot. somethin differnt. my manager has one its pure sex, one of a kind its class, 400bhp single turbo yummy!! :devil:

weighin up the pros and cons of ur situation then insuring and runnin an rx-7 wud be no problem with limited mileage and not using it as a daily car etc. jus think ur face wud be beaming if u were drivin home in a 306 derv estate knowing uve got a rwd rx-7 waitin for u in ur garage at home. in my opinion have some fun now. theres no point in not doin sumat u wana do n then regret it later on. go for it

Desmondo the choice is yours!!!!!!!!!

i have to agree go for the wild choice the rx7 i mean if its onby going to come out on sunny days then you want something "special" so to speak and the evo and pulsar just dont cut it yeh there great cars but the rx7 is just more exciting 8-)

Mmm. Where's the Evo 5 option? I don't really believe that it's a worthwhile 'step-up' going for the Evo 4 coming from the Pulsar. You're getting a car with a few extra goodies, gaining a load of weight and - in your current trim - similar power outputs.

Really the best option would be to get out and drive them and decide once you've driven them.

Why aren't you looking at Skylines, Des? :lol:

R33's around ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£8k now and R32's much below that. If you're not driving it much then surely it's the kiddy?

i love the rx personally, the engine is bonkers, it looks the sex and the power is ridiculous, and the tax is cheap. 1.3 lol

I'd personally, keep the pulsar, as you know you've got a good example! The worse thing you could do is buy a car for it to start needing money spent on it.

Then put money towards a mortgage and as already said make living easier with the saved money. As surely there'd be more joy from less worries of money, compared to the couple of secs of buzz you get from driving?

Now the serious shite's out the way, i'd go for an evo and sell ne the pulsar lol :look:
