The only flaw in my EVO is that I don't own TWO of them. My '04 RS is set up for racing, and I don't drive it on the street much. I'd love a IX MR to drive on the street, which I would leave bone stock. I'd trade my daily-driver S4 for one in a hearbeat.

Stock clutch cant take too much abuse if you up the power at all. The paint sucks ***. Everything is expensive to replace-brakes, tires, oil, etc. compared to regular cars. Other then that, this car is amazing and I honestly have tried to sit down and think of a better car for all around performance and daily driving for the money and I still cant.

i dont care for the stock tails, everything else on the car is nice, interiorwise and exterior also mechanical. but one thing i dont like on the GSR, because i did not op for the upgraded infinity sound system is the mitsubishi radio does go up to loud. the speakers sound nice but the radio volume wont go up to high.

Do you have a cruise control in your EVO?

I don't see how any of this is relevant, though. Cruise control doesn't need to control boost. My cruise control in the DSMs never caused the car to boost on simple hills unless I actually lost significant speed. It never was a problem at all, and even if I did boost a little, that certainly wasn't a problem. I know the gear ratios were different, but once again, that is an insignificant difference. GA is certainly not a place known for hills...maybe in the remote northern parts, but none in Atlanta or anywhere south of there. I also don't have any hills where I am now, so that's not important.

I don't see how cruise control could be considered annoying. If you don't like it, then don't use it, but I can't imagine how it would annoy you. I also don't see how you can say I'd never use it, when I've already told you I used it all the time on my Talons. Frankly, I don't see how people DON'T use it EVERY time they drive. I don't know any other way to keep my speed rock-solid steady without constantly looking down at the speedo. With CC, you don't ever have to look down, it keeps you from accidentally getting a heavy foot, and it is very comfortable for long highway drives. Some people don't see any use in it, but I would use it constantly (like I used to).

No...I started this by saying I consider this the only flaw (no CC). Every other car I've EVER owned had CC, so this disappoints me. Even my 15-year-old DSMs had it, and they were faster than my MR!

CC is really a usless option in my mind, if you did a survay I would bet 90% of the people dont even use it. I've had it on my other cars and used it maybe once in 5 years, but I'm from Jerzy so there is realy need for CC in my area.

This sentiment baffles me. I use my CC at every opportunity, and I don't see why anyone wouldn't (short-sighted). It's so convenient for letting your foot rest and for keeping a constant speed...it's really annoying to have to constantly look down at the speedo.

NJ may make it useless, but I've spent the majority of my driving years in the DC and Atlanta Metro areas, if that means anything.
