With all due respect sir, a Lambo isn't exactly a car that "you can drive in the cities".

It has a bad turning radius, maybe as bad as Evo; is very wide thus making maneuvering in tight spaces (such as parking lots) a challenge; it doesn't have meanigful boot space; has a rather poor ground clearance...

... AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TRY PARALLEL PARKING A LAMBO.

FQ400 isn't an IDEAL city/daily driver, I agree. That's why FQ320/340 was recommended.

Ummmmmm The EVO itself is a track oriented car. It's simply not a plush comfy ride. The FQ400 just pushes it a little more toward track than daily driving, and even then only because it has a double plate clutch. I doubt they have broadened the turning radius of the FQ400 over the base model Evo, so I don't see that as a negative. I also believe it has the same Bilsteins as the normal MR, so it is probably more comfy around town that most people's Evos. I also really doubt the dual ball bearing turbo has significantly more lag than the stock turbo. That 6th gear pull from 30mph just demonstrates how the Evo doesn't do that well in the wrong gear, but it's more of a function of a 2.0L motor with 8.8:1 compression trying to do a top gear pull @ less than 1,500 rpm. It's ludicrous to think someone wouldn't downshift in that situation, or would even think 6th gear was the proper gear at all.

Basically, other than having to rev it a little more from a stop, I doubt it's really the pain in the *** they tried to portray it as.
