i think i'm a lil nuts, but it's the truth.

oh dont get us wrong, the majority of us love our cars to death. but theres flaws in everything, this is just personal preference based. some people say that they dont like how the seat doesnt fold easily, or there's no cruise control, i dont mind those things at all. good luck with getting your evo. took me 7 months to get mine.

Evo IX w/3k miles
1) Straining your wirst reclining the front seats
2) Mitsu dealerships being ***-clowns with claims
3) As power increase, so do rattles/creaks
4) Excessive break dust
5) Transmission can sometimes grind (when driving/shifting casually)

But like almost everyone...I love the car to death!

no cruise control
small gas tank
Hummer-like turning radius
no electronic trunk pop
overall poor interior ergonomics and looks (not too bad on the SSL)
Recaro seat reclining mechanism (my VehiCross has the same issue)
easy-to-chip paint
crappy stock stereo head unit even with SSL
Mitsubishi dealership incompetence and downright criminality
wing that blocks the light bars on cop cars
juvenile exterior that screams 14-year-old bad ***.

Fix those and my next car will be an Evo too!

Hey plokivos, I couldn't PM you (system wouldn't allow it) but wondering....and this is for anyone else who has input (yeah, ok...I'll go do a search now too)

Cruise control? Wondering if that's on your evo, and if so if you did any research into different aftermarket cruise control units. I'm definitely going to put one on my MR (being modded currently) as I'll likely do a lot of highway trips, etc. so any advice on type of cruise control and how yours works would be most appreciated. Thanks
