omg it's not that hard to tilt the seat lol =p


I actually like how the seats adjust, it makes my passengers think they're in something special when they have to ask me how to do it =p

I don't know how much it costs to include those, but apparently, its somewhat expensive. Lexus, for the longest, was the only company that ahad full auto on all four windows. Cadillac is just starting to do it, but it used to be on the front two only. I could name a lot of things that a 37K Lexus or Cadillac does not have that an Evo does, so we'll just have to let this one slide.

3. Onboard display. All it shows is your Odometer & Trip. It would be really useful if they included MPG & Range. Then again, I might not want to know my MPG with the mileage im currently getting.
I've always felt this stuff was gimmicky on most cars, that is trip computers. I know some people love them to death, but to me they are only interesting the first day and then I get tired of fooling with them. But I understand.

4. Carbon Fiber. On a car like this, they should've used "real" carbon fiber atleast on the dash, E-brake lever, & shift knob.
"Real" dry carbon fibre is nowhere near as attractive as "Fake" wet carbon ifber.

5. Climate system. Comparing it to the JDM version, the one they sent over for us Americans seems primitive. From the "Auto" feature to the actual look(nobs) of it, the JDM system looks alot better. Our version looks like they got it from a Second-Gen Eclipse extra parts bin over at the plant. Speaking of Eclipse, anyone see the climate system on the new one? Keep in mind how much MORE the Evolution costs, it just doesn't make sense. Why put an inferior part on the superior sports car? Anyway, moving on.
My 2nd gen Eclipse climate control system works great, thank you very much. In fact, its knobs feel more solid to me then my Evo's do. But I would not mind the climate control system from the Montero, which I think is the JDM style you yearn for. It retains the CLASSIC three knob style that Mitsu has used FOREVER and is a staple of their design, and IMO should NEVER change.

9. Brembo Brakes. The brakes are wonderful and you could'nt ask for anything better, but it's really annoying when you get a rock in your Caliper and it starts making that really loud squeeking noise. There must've been a way to avoid this? Maybe a stone-guard type thing?
No argument there.

10. Audio System. The stock audio system on the car pretty much stinks. Mitusibishi could've made it Sirius/Xm compatible or MP3 CD playable atleast.
I have an SSL and I am so surpised at how good it sounds just by swapping my deck out. I am still going to replace it with aftermarket compontets, but the desire to hurry and do it was not nearly as strong as in most other cars I've had, because I think it sounds great - for a factory system.

WWIXMR posted a great topic to comment on. It's a great car, but it does have its minor flaws.

Personally, I only have two for right now. I wish it had Cruise control and the odometer lighting needs help on the brightnesss.

Other than that, I don't have one regret for purchasing my Used '03 w/ 33K mi for $19K. The cats at the gas stations thinks its an '06...

Well, I don't own an Evo, but there is only one thing that I don't like about it and it's the ugly USDM rear bumper.

I hate how people don't think my Evo can stand up to a Porsche performance-wise.
