Through my sources, I was given the priviledge to sit in the Evo for the Milwaukee auto show while they were setting up.

One word to describe the car: Unbelievable!!

Pictures do not do this car justice at all. It's truely something to behold.

I'm a bigger guy and I fit in the seat like a GLOVE. There was no seat play at all and I felt like someone was holding me in there.

I was all over the car... ask questions and I'll answer them!

 

How's the circular knob to adjust the back part of the seat? I'm asking because the article i've post complained about the knob over the lever.

 

I thought it was awesome. VERY, VERY fine control. This is NOT a car that you're going to want to have to change the driver position often.

One thing I really noticed about the seat is that you know how in most seats, there is a little play in the seat? I mean that you can rock back in it a little and the seat moves? NOT these. There is 0 movement. It's just as solid as leaning against a wall.

 

 

thats what i thought...who adjust their seat a lot anyways...

 

how are the interior materials...are there any differences from the oz? i was looking at pics and it looks like the compartment right behind the cup holders is covered in cloth...

 

They're great. They're all covered in the same material as the side of the seat. The only thing that I can compare the center section of the seats to is a lint brush. You know, the non-roller types? It just grabs you and hangs on.

 

Fireball, didn't your source let you drive it? What's up with that? Oh yeah, is there a slide to block off the sunroof like what they had on the gsx if you didn't want sun on top of ya?

 

"you were all over the car" what weight are you then fireball?

 

I am just kiddin' fireball....you have my upmost respect on this forum...your info always seems the most informative

 

We missed the oppourtunity to drive it by 10 minutes. 10 minutes sooner and it would have still been outside. Dammit!

Yes, there is a slide to prevent the sun from coming in. The sunroof is EXACTLY the same as the one on the Lancer. I was opening it and closing it and it worked the same, even down to the air deflector that comes up when you open it.

 

I was climbing all over it, meaning in every part, even the trunk! I am quite a burly man, but I still fit perfectly. So, any football players out there, including linemen, should fit.

 

Fireball, if you've ever sat in Sparco Tarinos can you compare the seats in the EVO to those... thanks

 

Hey fireball, you have any idea what they do the car show cars afterwards? Do they try to sell them at dealers or sent back to mitsubishi as a company car?

 

does the back seat have access at all into the trunk?? I know theres an extra brace there....
