Greatest day aside from the day i picked it up...
New stuff for free!!!
I don't have any major complaints, but the little irritations for me have already been mentioned.
- No cruise control - sucked during a 280 mile trip
- Gas mileage - this wasn't unexpected
- Crappy paint
- My paranoia - always worrying about people around me or dumbasses in parking lots
- Insurance costs

BMW - 50 grand from front bumper to rear bumper
EVO - 37 grand. 30 of that is in engine, drivetrain, ACD and performance awesomeness. 7 grand went into the interior, paint and trim.
I didn't really want a luxury car though. And to be honest, the thought had past my mind to get a bit of both worlds by paying less for a used M3. But I have my Evo NEW!!! and I mean 2 miles to drive it off the assembly line new. Every thing listed as a minor flaw.. I totaly agree with. My friends Mazda 3 has a sound system that kicks mine in the thin paint coated ***! But I have something he doesnt. WHen I park my car, go in the house.. I look out the window, see that car sitting there.. didn't even cool down yet.. and Im' already missing the drive. Would I ask (mitsu) to change anything about the car for the money I'm getting? I'd be afraid to. I know they are a company trying to make a profit just like anyone else... so if they started upping the interior, it would probably be at the cost of some of our great performance. I don't want a comfy interior that badly. To me, the Evo is thee most well balanced performance car i've ever had the pleasure of dealing with... And the mods? yes they cost, but so does any mod, but the Evo.. holy potential Batman!! this car takes to mods like a fish to water.

But read most complaints about the EVO...
Id rather have a ugly car with nice interiors, fit and finish, nice paint, cruise control, night clock, etc.....
Mine weights 3298 lbs and Evo weights 3,285 lbs last time I checked..
For 2008 add 200+lbs on the Evo X and take 250 lbs off the new STI.
