And yet ANOTHER f'ing post about Evo reliability... Every time the "no problems" are in the high 90%s - amazing. I know Evolved1 is trying to decide whether to buy the Evo or not. If you like it, buy it. It works fine. If you aren't sure, then buy a Honda or something. Too many people here complain about the smallest crap, but it has been 100% reliable for most of us (with a few exceptions). What next? "But the tires are loud..."
