Hey guys, I just bought a 2015 "Final Edition" Evo (#104/1600), found this forum, and wanted to say "Hello".

I will definitely be lurking around the various threads over the next few weeks, so I'm sure you'll all see more of me.

Thanks, and I definitely will. This was an incredibly unplanned purchase, so the past couple days have been a little crazy (I actually called into work on Monday to go buy it lol).

I haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but I did upload a few from when I saw it on the showroom floor if you're interested in the body at all:

The interior looks pretty much the same as my previous 2011 GTS. As far as I know, they don't change the interiors very much. Sadly, due to "safety" regulations (air bags), we didn't get the Recaro racing seats in the US, so they're just pretty basic cloth, with the red "Final Edition" stitching.

That's nice! Congrats! Do you get the bow with it? Does the the Final Edition have a different roof on it?

congrats and welcome. Without getting into specific numbers? Did the dealer you bought it from mark up the price on the car? I visited a dealer in MD last week and they had all FEs marked up by 4k! I wanted to tell them they were on crack.

Agree considering the #1 barely sold for a few thousand over msrp on eBay.

I didn't even think to ask for the bow to be honest, although I'm sure they would have given it to me if I did lol. As far as the roof, all FE's have black aluminum roofs.

Nope, the dealer I went to refuses to do that with any of their cars, so I got it for the MSRP. I have heard that a lot of places are trying to mark them up quite a bit, which sucks.

The FE has a few differences from the regular version, and depending on where you get your FE, those have a few differences as well.

The FE really has no "option" packages, so you sort of get what you get. The most noticeable difference is probably that the FE is 303hp stock, as opposed to the 291hp non-FE. It's also got Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, Brembo front brake rotors, dark-chrome-finished Enkei wheels, a black-painted roof, and some interior differences such as a black headliner, and red stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and shift knob. There's also a "Final Edition" badge right in front of the shifter that shows the number car you got (mine says US0104, as it's #104/1600).

Sadly, I bought mine in the US, so the radio was downgraded, and I got pretty standard cloth seats as opposed to the Recaro racing seats (because of safety restrictions due to the airbags). I just recently found out that Canada gets the Recaro seats, and they also get the Rockford Fosgate audio package (minus the navigation system), so I'm a little bummed, but I'm not losing sleep over it lol.

Although there are almost less options on this car than the 2011 Lancer GTS that I traded in for it, I personally think it's worth the price. The interior is very basic, but it's very fast, and with the limited edition numbers, it's really a collector's item in my opinion.

If you want a 2015 EVO, and you want more "comfort/audio" options, I would suggest not getting the FE however.
