Just back from 1.8K trip. Ditto comments about lack of cruise is a bummer.

Pluses are: loads of ponies to squirt thru those little holes in clogged interstate traffic, especialy the ones in the slow lane, which is often pretty empty since many of the slow drivers are stangely attracted to the fast lane.

The high intensity lights work great at persuading all but the most committed slow drivers out of the fast lane, even in the daytime. Put them on bright & use the leveling device to raise them to their highest position. You can almost see the back of the driver's neck start to sunburn.

Great sound system for drowning out high speed engine/tire noise (forget quiet conversations).

MPG at 65??? Who drives an Evo at 65 mph on the Interstate (without a sunburned neck)?

Excellent outward visibilty. Only downside is it makes it easy to see the other drivers giving you the finger when you blow by after riding their slow butts for a few miles.

I love the seats.

Super brakes which are great for panic stops, like when, at the last minute, you see an officer trying to stop you from driving in a manner that would void your warranty.
