There's a cross brace behind the rear seats that make a folding option useless.

Actually, I correct myself; I do have one that I don't think was mentioned yet:

3. Center console storage compartment lid - When I put any weight on it, it feels like it is going to cave in. I've heard it crack a couple of times already and I am just waiting for the day it breaks.
Sorry, but I'm having a difficult time picturing this. I'm 6' and I'd have to contort myself wildly in hopes of reaching the center console cover and putting weight on it. Are you 8' tall?

- Yea tail lights suck, buy JDM ones.
I am talking about the speedo/tach gauges right in front of your face.

The wing CF is gonna fade regardless due to the **** poor UV protection in the clear.

I did buy JDM tails but thanks for your permission to do so...?

FYI, this thread is "10 things you don't like on YOUR Evo", not "10 things you dislike others not liking on THEIR Evo".

Some of you need to get a clue.

If I may, that's not really true. I mean the part about fading. There are many high-quality detailing products that offer long lasting protection against UV. Klasse's KSG is a good example of such an animal.

Just to make sure we are on the same page here, I am talking about the little storage compartment thing between the front seats. The one that has the flip up cover.

Anyway, so I am sitting in the driver seat, just parked and want to get the case for the faceplate of my stereo out of the glove box. Sometimes I lean on the storage compartment lid while I am reaching over to get at the glove box. When I do, it gives A LOT and I can hear cracking noises.

yeah, you know your right. good gas mileage is too much to ask for in a 2.0L 4cyl.

Indeed! I wonder if AWD, 300whp, and 20psi of boost have anything to do with it?

I can only think of one thing that I dislike about my Evolution...The PAINT. After only 2 months and 2,800 miles, my hood and front bumper look like someone shot it with a shotgun. Other than that, this is the best car that I have ever owned. I bought it for performance and that is exactly what it gives me.

armor all = bad for the dash plastic. you are doing more harm than good and it will eventually lead to cracking. Use vinylex.

That shouldn't matter. I can name you several sports cars that have double the displacement of our cars and still get good fuel mileage.
