I don't know about anyone else here But I bought my Evo with the intention of driving fast cornering hard and putting honda's to shame on the track.

I was looking through a bunch of threads and I keep coming accross threads where people are whining about "oh my Evo doesn't have criuse" or "how can I get climate control" and even "why is my Evo ride so bumpy"

I for one and sick of hearing about people whining about features that have nothing to do with a race car /rant

Anyway just wanted to know how many of you got your Evo for speed and how many of you bought it to be comfortable in


Disclaimer: I'm not talking about street racing and/or breaking laws just fun driving

 

agree and i think people should have thought of that before they bought it

 

i purchased this bad boy for both of the above.

 

It seems like the intention of your post is to b!tch at people that complains too much about the evo lacking comfort features, more than anything else

Even though the EVO has racing heritage, the EVO VIII is nevertheless classifed as a passenger car, and therefore it is not too much for people to ask for specific comfort features for something they are paying for

I dunno if you have ever rode in any JDM EVOs... while I was visiting Asia over the summer, my cousin let me drove his JDM EVO VII... it was all stock, and let me tell you, the suspension feels a lot different than the USDM EVOs. Also, as all of you already know, all the JDM EVOs have the better HVAC control... and indeed they were a lot nicer than our mechanical units

People are complaining not because they think the evo should have more comfort features... they are complaining because the USDM EVO are inferior to the JDM ones... and even if money is not a concern, they will never be able to own a left hand drive EVO that has the same specs as the JDM vehicles

Since u drive a "tarmac evo" and you "bought your Evo with the intention of driving fast cornering hard and putting honda's to shame on the track", u still went with an evo VIII as opposed to an RS... so you are admitting that there are certain comfort features in your EVO in which you do appreciate

 

I agree our evo's aren't as good as JDM Evo's however I'm still happy we at least got the Evo this time and as you said the Evo has a racing haritage... yes its a passanger car but that wasn't its purpose.
That being said and understood by both of us I feel that if you want a luxury sedan that has power and AWD there are better options out there than the Evo and If features like criuse and climate control are so important to you... then you shouldn't have wasted money on a race car you should have bought an Audi instead.
The purpose of this thread wasn't to b!tch at people who whine all the time (that was a side bonus) the purpose of this thread was to determine people's intent when they bought this car
I thought maybe mitsu gave other people a different impression of the car or something I dunno and thats why I started this poll

 

I chose "cruising" on the poll, but I like to do my cruising around 130mph. Ive been to work 5-10 minutes earlier than usual every day since I got my EVO.

 

Sentinal: your point is now understood.. sorry for the false accusation hehe

this is off topic but I think the best japanese awd 4 cylinder vechicle for comfortable cruising that is under $30,000, offered in the US, is the subie legacy... what do u guys think?

 

you can get a Audi S4 used for around 30k which is got a lot of performance and luxury it can almost keep up with the Evo on a track and still has all the luxury of audi but thats used. New I would probably agree the brand new lagacy sedans are pretty decent new body style and new engine for 2005

 

I definately bought mine to have fun, but I go to college in a different state. The drive between Vegas and Tucson is about 8 hours, so when I go home for the summer or winter break, I think it would be nice to have cruise control. I think the ride is stiff but it is supposed to be, that's why I don't whine about it despite Tucson having the most deplorable road conditions I have ever seen(and I have lived in several states). I just think it would be nice if Mitsu threw in a cruise control for the people that do have to make long journeys in the evos.

 

I bought my Evo to kick some Domestic ***.........and to AutoX and Track a couple of times a year.

 

Comfort? What's that?

And if you're considering an S4, you obviously don't know or you don't care. The car is terribly unreliable.

 

And I bought my RS for comfort and its luxury features. Look, mad roll up windows and manual door locks = pimp. No radio so I sing to myself and people look at me like I'm crazy, but I know what's up. No sound deadening so I'm slowly going deaf. Every bump makes me feel like I'm sitting in my cellmate Bubba's lap as he gently caresses my prison jumpsuit...

Oh wait. Hey! That was a long time ago, and it was under desperate conditions, okay? Don't judge unless you've been there!!!

 

Oh yeah, i bought my EVO for pure luxury. I mean honestly it's like riding on a cloud.

 

Hey, you didn't buy an RS. You're not hardcore.

yea man

 

maybe he got the EVO RS before it even came out...
