the dealership i went to at freeway mitsubishi only allowed me to take it a test drive on a 05 eb around the block because he didnt want me to put miles on it as it was a brand new. not only was the ride short, i also didnt drive it hard because after all this time, and after years of patiently waiting and researching the venerable 4g63, it came as a bit intimidating to finally be able to drive it. an additional factor why i didnt push it was because i didnt want to abuse it for whoever would be purchasing the vehicle, therefore i didnt get much of a grasp on its power, meaning i didnt shift past 4k... so consequently it was a pretty mundane test drive.

at this moment i am searching for used car dealerships with evos, given that they are more lenient with their customer's interest to gauge a vehicle's performance. im not familiar with any sites that allows me to do this, perhaps autotrader? but if anyone could help me with this it would be great - i am in the la/pasadena area. while searching i stumbled upon this review which i thought was entertaining and maybe one which you guys would too. reviewfunny review thanks in advance.

 

lol people like to read but not reply.. any feedback on the review at least? i guess maybe im the only one that found it funny hehe

 

I've driven the '03 GSR, '04 RS before and I have to say the '05s are even better than those (smoother clutch and a better power distribution; hence I bought one)!

Search the forums first to decide which year and model you want cuz they all have benefits and drawbacks.

As for searching for used dealerships, try Autotrader and Yahoo. Sometime just typing your search into Google works so give it a shot.

Good luck.

 

thanks for the reply yank, and as for deciding which model to choose from, ive already decided on the IX. ive pretty much been on this site since 2003 so all the research has been taken and noted although i still have much to learn. the only thing i havnt done is driving the car itself (not counting the one i mentioned above). this is pretty much just a preliminary test drive to see how i like everything in general. thanks again for your input.
