nope. you will miss the TL the instant you just use the Evo for daily driving and lay off the boost.

i personally wouldnt do it just because most cars that are turbo'd are beat on like no other. alot of them dont run a/c just because its alot harder on the motor when its boosted. i would keep the tl and just enjoy it.

Nope, I wouldn't pull that trade. Heck, the only way I'd trade my '07 Type S is for a Carbon Fiber Rapide or a Lambo......well, maybe an NSX too.

Prob not. Never been a fan of the Evo. Plus they lose steam in 5th gear. Not that great. If I were to trade the TL I would get something at least better.

lol I have actually seen old ladies driving 350Zs around here on many occasions, well maybe not old but older, middle aged. They are extremely common cars. STis and EVOs though never, I agree with your comment on those.

it depends. When I bought my 2000 s4 in 03, it was driven by a school teacher in Vermont.
Unless shes a racer at night the car was kept immaculate.

Hell no those have got to be the ugliest cars on the road. Plus Evo's are every 16 year old boy's dream car. Leave those for the highschoolers. Yeah they perform great but still.

It depends on priorities....the TL is an entry level luxury sedan with some sport. THe EVO has no luxury but is an all out performance car.

Your FWD TL would be better if it was icy and snow everywhere.

I dont know, it's scary when you are stuck in the middle of the intersection and you can't go anywhere. My buddy with his awd talon never has problems in the snow or ice. Why is it better to have a fwd in the winter?

Someone's beat to shit leftovers.

I personally wouldn't but if I were still in my 20's, my mindset would likely be different.

It should be obvious why AWD is better than FWD in slick conditions.

The other post was probably referring to a FWD being better than a RWD in the same conditions.

It's getting down in the 40s around here ,but no snow and/or ice yet. (thankfully) I'd love to move to the desert, maybe out in Arizona, or New Mexico somewhere.

Dude I literally had a dream last night that I traded in my TL to a guy who had a purple blueish EVO and I remember the whole time thinking that this was the worst thing that I could've done, not just because of the color, but because the TL is soooo much better than an EVO. DON'T DO IT!!
