I don't know whats up with you guys and the seats. I love the fabric on the GSR they have a suede felling to them.

Nice review. I thought the STI would have faired slightly better than it did. I personally thought the R32 would end up in last place, with the EvoX and STI perfroming fairly similar.

I've now experienced both seats. and i love them both. but the X seats hold you better in a tight turn than the IX's and i dont think you'll see wrinkle marks on the area where you get out fromt he X seats. because of the material. i hated the wrinkle marks on the IX seats.

Well, it's an AWD turbo car with all the techno gadgetry in the world which basically means it's really tricky to get the best out of it. The more time you spend with Evo X the better you will adjust to its performance. Anyway, as far as I can remember, same thing happened in car magazines with Evo VIIIs and IXs. I remember 0-60 times ranging from 5.2sec to 4.4 sec. It's basically all about the skill of the driver and depends how often do you want to replace your clutch

One thing I have read about Evo X is that the ECU holds a lot of performance back, Vishnu is already working on that.

Well stated my good man, I for one won't be brave enough to test it's 0-60 time... I don't find clutch replacement fun, although I like to see what the car is capable of thanks to all these car mags!
