Wow, why no love for EVOs?
OP, congrats on the decision and getting an EVO!!! They are really fun, awesome, fast cars. Unlike everyone else, I would consider the EVO a MAJOR upgrade over a fox. Have fun with it! Then later on down the road, you can always pick up a fox for 2k or so to mess with. I personally think an EVO is a great alternative to having 2 cars. Hell, I would trade all 3 of my mustangs for an EVO in a heartbeat.

haha I was the same, living up North in Quebec/Canada, you get used to snow and ice. Loved it! During that nasty ice-storm we had, I was out driving around in my RWD Ranger haha!
When I bought my 4x4 F150, I'd go out at 5am before the plow trucks would clear the roads. I used to teach performance ice driving and off-roading when I was in my early 20's.
But there's no real need for AWD but it does come in handy. Just that a lot of people think AWD or 4x4 means they can still drive like it's a clear summer day. Which explains why most vehicles in the ditch during a snow storm are AWD.
Let's not get into a pissing match with EVO vs. Fox. It's like comparing apples to oranges again. EVO is an excellent car and lots of value for money. No doubt that it's a good alternative if you want something new that can perform pretty damn good without having to buy something for $$$$$. (I like the EVO).
Fox is also an excellent car with lots of opportunity to make into a killer street machine for little money.
Opinion: For a daily driver EVO > Fox simply because it's new and easier to drive. For fun weekend toy, I'm going to stick with my old Fox because I like the supercharged, rough idling V8 and the traction issues that come from that.
over a period of time i want it to be aggressive..mustang spinning tires is cool...but an Evo spinning all fours is even cooler
i agree...ive only seen one Evo around my area...but i see wrx/sti's almost everyday
