Talking MY EVO is HOME!!!!! and my review of the car



I have to drive 130 mile away from LA to Sandiego, pay 3k over msrp, to get my babe home!!! what can you do if you love this car?!?! here is what my review for the car...

Fast..
FAST...
and handles better then my old NSX.


I hope the pictures I took with my cheesy pc camera comes out ... can't afford a digital camera after I payed for the car... have to allocated my saved tuneup money for the markup.. sick Fxxking dealer......

anyways.. 36400 out the door after long time of negotiation....

p.s MY EVO don't have a sun roof!!! I will pay $$ to get rid off that joking sunroof....

already have 300 + miles on it...

how do they expect us to breakin the car when it's soooo fun to drive?!?!? have to shift around 4k rpm...

hope you guys have yours soon!!!!!!

EL Cajon Mit, Sandiego.. And it seems to me they ONLY markup 3k is the best deal in SoCAL, you guys lucky and living outside of CA that can buy MSRP.

Driving The Evolution

I'd like to keep this thread open to just the new Evolution owners for all their comments about their new vehicles and driving experiences.

Test drivers are ok too!

where are all the indepth reviews???!!! You would think by now with everyone getting theirs that they'd be posting some up.
then again, if i had an evo, i guess i'd be busy driving it around .

If I gave a review right now it wuold be pretty week. The car aint even broke in yet. But from what I have experienced:

the breaks are stiff, and loud.
Sterring is tight and precise.
Turbo kicks in at about 3 to 3.5k
Lag is iminenet in higher gears, but still quick.
Gear box is tight. Shifting is stiff but very nice.
No damn lights on the window controls or locks on pass. side.
Dark as hell in the car at night, without tint. Can't see the damn window switches.
1st gear is too quick. By the time you mash the gas you better let off and shift.
More to come...................

I noticed that first gear tops out really quick... probably use 2nd gear during street driving.
