My dealer is suppose to be getting one the first week of December. Considering how disappointing my negotiations for an EVO have been (down to invoice on the EVO but wouldn't play ball on my GTS ) looks like I'll be paying them a visit. Its in GG too.

 

December? eff that thats like 3mo out

 

AND IT WAS SICK... It looks very very sexy. It was GG and all i can say is wow they did a nice job. It had recaro sports package and nav inst by the dealer. Only thing that was not impressive is Sport mode was not impressed with how it drove in Sport mode. The engine noise was very present as well other then that the aceleration was def plenty and breaks were strong.

 

The car is SUPPOSED to be loud in sport mode.

 

Nice. Isn't that nav system great?, and where did you drive it? I'm trying to find a pa dealer closer to me than allentown or reading

 

Checked one out today. While I didn't drive it, it really didn't impress me at all. Not for 27K, I would spend the extra couple grand and just get a GSR. I really don't like that it only comes with an SST, ftl...
Dealer by me only had one that I saw, GG.

 

Some people just don't understand that the 1-4G difference between the RA and the GSR isn't the only difference. Insurance could be up to double getting an evo, so it's not that easy for everyone. Some of us might be satisfied with a little more power, yet a good daily driver, but people keep hating.

 

double? I pay way less for the X then i paid for the IX

 

I'm not hating... I just think it would do better with a lower entry fee, and give it a proper gearbox.

My insurance on my VIII isn't expensive either... I can't imagine the gas mileage is that much better than the X.

 

i'm ususally running between 22-24 mpg. when we did a long and stadey run down one of our BBQ / 7 evo/
i managed to get 27 mpg with steady 65 mph on high way.

 

i also drove the ralliart and the car is amazing from a holeshot the ralliart launches great with the traction control off but the fact that its only an automatic is killing the car for me the car moves the power is def there and the handling is also great. i drove the car on friday when it was drizzling and the car did not loose traction when making a left turn in the rain at 60 mph the dealer guy pretty let me drive the car like it was mine. all i really have to say to mitsu is great job on this car now install the 5 spd manual in it and bring that out

True but they, like many south eastern dealers are the last to get anything. In the mean time I'm getting a bike to hold me over.

 

They sold the Ralliart friday so no photos. I did get my silver GSR though. I'll post photos tomorrow.

 

Nice.
