i am no mathmetician but your pros = your cons.

 

Haha^^Well I've had mine for over 6 months now and DD as soon as it went off the lot>>I love driving it everyday and never get tired of it. As far as gas goes, I personally don't think its that bad, as long as you can keep from mashing the gas pedal at every light only real thing I don't like is the notchiness of the transmission but this doesn't happen all the time

 

Make a great daily driver. Very comfortable, stiff chassis, rides well for the incredible handling it has and around town gets me about 21-22 MPG if I'm nice. Not too shabby. Only mod is a homemade intake but I'm sure mileage will improve with more mods. Only downsides?
Poor highway mileage (I suspect due to weight and AWD system more so than gearing)
Wish all the windows had auto up and down

Those are really my only pet peeves. Love it otherwise.

 

better daily driver, then any of my evo before , i have to give it to her for sure.

 

 

It depends on how you carry the weight LOL.

I'm 225 and I'm fine in the seats, except I have to take my wallet out because there's not padding like in other cars so my back gets shoved up sideways.

And I don't have Costanza's wallet either!

 

second and third gear synchros are a b!tch when cold and doing low rpm shifts.

 

+1

 

Daily drive 8500 miles thus far and love mine. Sometime it get's a little fiesty going into 2nd at WOT and hard shifting but otherwise no problems what so ever.

It stops great, handles great, and gets plenty of compliments from those in the know (car guys and anyone at a car meet)

I guess to some it might be a little loud on the highway from engine noise but it depends on what speed you cruise at; around 80 your at 3800rpm so it's pretty loud and that's where the gas mileage suffers big time but otherwise around town cruising it's subtle, not too rough, and more than capable to embarass the majority of the other cars on the road.

Lastly and maybe most importantly...it doesn't look like a ford focus like the new STi does...

 

The stereo and interior could be a little nicer but I didn't buy it for a luxury car...I bought it for what it is, an Evo with AWD, a turbo, and easy modability. I can upgrade the stereo, headlights, and interior at a later date if I wanted to. (By interior I mean the dash/door panels, I love my seats!)

 

Last thing in the pros list is just a description of what is in the SSS package maybe your not familiar with it.

 

Yeah, edmunds inside line long termer said the same thing, in fact something about the 08 G35 MT being corrected about this issue. Very bad clutch, just go look inside line road long term tests and you will say , and motor trend long termer believe said the same .

 

 

All the complaints about not having 6th gear, solution is called evo X MR.
Think the OP never said evo X GSR as a DD.

 

Whats funny is you probably never owned an EVO or any performance car for that matter and have nothing to compare a X to. When the wetness behind your ears dry up then come and see me
