Evo is home

Bought my first Evo tonight

I was ready to buy it over the internet but Local dealer in Littleton colorado gave me an awesome deal. Trade my G35X at a really good price and gave me a discount.

Test drive one saturday and love the way it drive.
did not pay attention to the radio ergonomy or comfort.
Tonight I drove it back the seat are firm and not very comfortable I think they may be painfull on long trip
Radio is very far from the infiniti quality. I will say it is just ok even I bought an SSS.
Driving back on highway the car is noisy at 75MPH
The car definitely miss a 6th gear

I did not pay attention when I test drove it as I love so much the way it drive especially after driving a BMW 335Xi.
I think I will have to live with it now.
I like the look of the car and I will have a lot of fun on track or on mountain road.
I hope I will not miss my infiniti on long drive.

Same notifications, what you think or rear visiblity seats too low? you can't look back on the shoulders when crossing lanes.


5spd is fine with me because i drive 70mph usually.
