1. no cruise
2. no fold down seats
3. no rear seat overhead light
4. stock rotors warp easily
5. stock tails are ricey, though the JDM ones are nice

the first three were in my opinion left off due to added weight concerns, but isn't that why they make the RS?

1. Only teenage boys check it out
2. STU is too competitive, so is ESP and AS
3. I second the heater controls sucking
4. Gimmicky intercooler sprayer - I still have the dealer fluid in there
5. Those of us most dedicated Evo owners who bought the '03s got screwed out of a front LSD and the option of getting an RS model

1. no cruise
2. no overhead light always dark in the back when your looking for something that flew back there
3. no heated seats!! 34k+ should be a given
4. no trunk pop on keyless.
5. no cruise again, it would have saved so much gas

traded a 350z for an 05 evo rs, this is my first turbo car i've ever owned and the first thing i noticed is the turbo lag on high gear and low speeds.
sorta bothered me at first but im fine with it now.

Don't have my EVO any more, but I figured since I owned one I'll submit my input:

1. Stock clutch sucks
2. No cruise control
3. Crappy gas mileage
4. Terrible turning radius
5. Paid for a useless warranty

I think cruise, and gas tank size would be my biggest gripes.

Anyone complaining about the stock stereo should have heard the stock stereo out of my previous car (Ford Contour). I have heard portable radios that sound better than that crap. The Evo's stock stuff sounds A LOT BETTER!!!

i noticed most peoples evo didnt come with factory volt/oil temp/boost gauges, mine did.
i moved em to the place of the oem head unit and put a new pioneer in place of the cubby hole

From: va beach (the place without evo tuners)
1. paint
2.the stock boost gauge is no where near the driver's view area ( have to take your eyes off the road to see it)
3.the stock radio ( took that thing out the first day i had my car)
4.a/c turn it on and see the gas meter move its way to E
5. trunk carpet a little to cheap for me it doesnt even stay in place if you put something in there.

other than that i love my evo

I love my Evo except for:

1) squeak & rattles
2) clutch chatter
3) MOST OF ALL.... rotors don't last for crap!
