Just the crappy plastic inside and the mouse fur. But I really don't notice once I am ripping through the gears. Too bad I don't get to do that because I live in Virginia now where apparently 99% of the police in America patrol.

Hard to read gauges
No boost gauge
Cheap looking dash & interior (seats & wheel OK though)

The negative attention it pulls from import hates and people who assume it's a rice because of the wing.

Somebody needs to make a full leather/luxury interior for the evo, including some cool gauges/instrument cluster. Whoever that will be will be making los of money.

I do not have any complaints tho, because I think the interior is fine, and I didnt buy the EVO for that anywayz. For an awesome suspension that can take curves at 80mph, its hard to have a soft ride.

Amen to that! I just drove 2,700 miles cross-country and my right ankle wanted to explode from trying to maintain speed.

I am just bummed most of all that we continue to get the "US-spec" of every damn good car that is imported. Think about it: No M3 with drilled rotors, no Evo with AYC/ACD, etc. ad nauseum. Even that dumb-*** new Pontiac GTO started out as a cool-looking Holden Monaro and now looks like crap (even if it puts out more power here). Always getting the short end of the stick when this country buys so many damn cars. Enough of my rant...

I still love my Evo, though.

Biggest issue with me is paint.

I don't mind the ride and I can always add on cruise.

1 - cheap interior materials, everything from the crap carpet to the hard to read gauges, and bad plastics controls
2 - brakes squeek
3 - cheap paint - already chipping
4 - color matching between mirrors, doors, handles, etc on the yellow Evo - man I should have gotten Silver
5 - harsh ride for daily driver - love the power and handling, just wish the interior was a bit more comfortable
6 - shifting problems, compared to 6sp RSX the clutch and tranny are just bad, I kind of wish the Evo was a Honda

Paint is chipping on mine, too.. right outside the rear drivers door.

That too, and the gaytezza's.

i dont have an evo...yet..but the lancer has most of the same issues. windows squeak one day then are fine the next. i hate the plastic interior on the door where the little holder thing is. it looks like someone cut it with a hacksaw. that was a big turnoff. when i saw the visible screws in the middle box i almost lost my hard-on, but i saw the shifter and fell in love again. it took some viagra though.

The floormat retainer. It sucks. My floormats always move forward and get in the way of the pedals.
