If you don’t by AWDrifter’s EVo, then you are :smash2: I wouldn’t touch that dealer EVO with a 10ft pole. You are better off getting a brand new IX for that money. ---

> [@badnewsmini](#): > > SO AWDdrifter your a Evo owner can u answer any of the qustions at least the bolt pattern is it 114.3x5 like toyotas? or is a gay ford 108 It is 114.3 x 5 The car is perfectly comfortable for drives less than 1 hour. I would never drive more than three hours in my car without cruise control. My car has been very reliable because of the care I have given it. Change the fluids, etc and the car will last for many years. Silver always looks clean too.😃 ---

Well if you wanted to take the mini for a trade or had a way of getting ride of it. I would in a heart beat pick up yours. I like it just doing a Privite buyer right now with the mini is not really possable I thought about taking it to the mini dealer and see if they would by it back… my Jetta Doesnt have cruise, I drive it for 6 hours a day. ---

I know it’s no ferarri, but I devote the majority of my resources to owning the car that i really want to, so why not keep it as nice as possible, for as long as possible?
