Sometimes I wish I'd looked harder at the '03 Cobra but otherwise, no.

no regrets at all....

I would buy another Evo in a heartbeat.
In fact, if MMC announced that they were going to stop importing this car, I'd be figuring out how to buy an extra one.

Wanted a G35 originally.
Realized it had limited upgradability.
Test drove EVO and then an STI.
I love the EVO. It's been great so far!

I regret owning one a lot of the time. It's a lot to pay for and sometimes I think that for the money, I should have gotten a BMW xi considering the way I drive my evo most of the time.

Most of this regret is wiped away though when I drive the car. I'm sure when the real modifications begin I'll be in a much happier place, even more so becuase the car will be paid off by then.

FYI, buyers regret has a more specific term, called cognitive dissonance. This is a term in the marketing lexicon that describes the feelings of remorse a person may exhibit after any purchase, ranging from guilt of owning a valuable item, rewarding yourself, or any other negative emotion transmitted to the acquisition.

The performance is amazing, but the quality of the car is disappointing.

I'm in the long haul with my EVO. I love this car. I don't care about the int. I'm to busy hanging on and doing 1gs in the corners. This is just an amazing auto. Puts a grin ear to ear.

I also don't like the sunroof but my wife wanted it and she drives the car too.

Fact of the mater is most people that buy a EVO and drive it daily, it's almost to much sports car for them. I realized this buying the car so I got a 2nd car for the Daily grind. I would enjoy driving the EVO everyday but the stop and go traffic and a stick shift do not mix well. This is not my first sports car and I had other sports cars that were worth much more money but this is the first car that I can say is worth every penny.

Eric
