This guy should be fired, and then beaten severely...

He spends his entire review inside the parked IX talking about how crappy the stereo is!!!!!!

I will never visit the cnet website again. They really should stick to electronics, rather then have computer nerds review performance cars.

Tools.

Performance is a 10, all else is a 5, so I can see why they would give it a 7.7.

 

who gives a ****?

 

I found the article to refreshingly accurate.

The author raves about the cars performance but poo poo's it's lack of features for a 30k plus car. Legit complaints.

Who hasn't wished for cruise control at one point or another.

It was nice to see a review of a base Nine and not an MR.

 

Let's face it the evo's interior is lacking for the price. Cruise control would be great. I could care less about the stereo and gps or trip computer. Those are not the reasons to buy a performance car. Those are for luxury cars trying to be sporty. I am on my second evo and have all intentions to continue to buy them as long as the X is not some watered down p.o.s. Cnet just does not understand the market for this car.

 

Did we not buy the car for performance in the engine and handling capabilities? This is a high performane machine with not frills interior. If you want a AWD with creature comforts get a Audi S4.

 

Seems like a fair review to me. The Evo is all about performance.

"jaw-dropping performance" .

 

ya I don't see what the big deal is...everybody knows the Evo's interior is lacking but who cares? Remember what Clarkson said? "It feels like I'm sitting inside a bin liner"

 

repost....

 

The point is that the car's performance MORE than makes up for the fact that it doesn't have navigation. It's not like these things even out, it by far covers for the decent dash layout and then some. Did he even bother to mention how unbelievable nice the seats are?

If some of you are too stupid to realize that he approaches every single car with the exact same criteria, whether it be a Honda fit, a Ferrari Enzo, or a Lancer Evolution, then too bad for you I guess...

 

"Truth"

 

Thats your opinion just like he had his. If you are buying a car to try and impress people and are concerned about what everyone else thinks, get an M3 or something.

Frankly, I could care less what anyone else thinks of my car as long as I'm happy with it.

 

Two things

#1 I'm not whining at all. I think it's pathetic that people who know nothing about cars write these reviews. I loved how he called it the Lancer Evolution "eye ex". Roman numerals are tough eh? Face it, the guy was retarded.

#2 I don't own an Evo just yet. About 4 more weeks

actually, one more thing... couldn't you try just a little to be a bit more mature when you post? I feel like I'm having grade school flash backs...

Anyway, I'm kind of disappointed that a lot of you feel you drive cars that aren't even an 8/10. In my books the Evo will always be an 11, because it's few minor flaws are immediately forgotten once you get in the thing and drive.

You're right, if you buy an Evo so you can sit around in a parking lot and listen to music, you bought the wrong car and you should seek out more friends like the guy who wrote the review because you're both insane.

that guy was truely a dumbass and we can't forget that

 

Honestly, If the Evo had the interior of the Acura TL with Navigation, dealers wouldn't have them longer than a day!! Period!!
