things I dislike......hmmmm, nothing really...
With the Evo its pretty much what you see is what you get.
The great thing about the Evo is that modding it, both performace wise and asthetically is limited only by your imagination.....and bank balance. As an after thought....cruise control would be nice for those long open road trips.

The speedo is not easy to read at a glance, too many lines. Would be nice to see an oil temp gauge in the space where it says 'LANCER'.

The interior lights up in two different coulours, WTF?

Seats are too high.

Radio is pretty low rent.

The gap between 4th and 5th in the five speed is too large.

Horn sounds teh ghey - not as bad as my Integra Type R's was though

Overall, nothing major. I'm sure there's a reason for the high 5th gear (MPG?) but the interior lights thing is just crap . I think its like Ferrari's were back in the day, you're paying for the engine and driveline, they throw the rest in so you have somewhere to sit

nothing except that dreadful 5th gear. 1-4 gears seem so fast till i shift to 5th and it seems like an eternity. especially from roll racing where i jump out 2-4 gear.

Only complaint I have is how much money I spend modding, but oh well. This addiction's worse than crack.
