That part is so true.
I told a dealership: "Im taking that one, here's a downpayment. Have it ready in 3 days, because Im going out of the country later tonight and coming back in 3 days"

I go back and they changed their "offer" on me saying "well, we are not used to peopel actually coming back for the Evo, so the offer has changed".

Needless to say, I grabbed my down payment and went somewhere else.

If you want a 335i, get it RWD for crying out loud. It handles better than the 335xi and gets better gas mileage than an Evo X and a 335xi. The 335xi sucks.

My regret was the weight. I didn't really want a "luxury" car, and I had been looking for an Evo8/9 RS model, but since the X was just a bit more money brand new, I bought that instead. I figured I could live with the weight that was piled onto the EvoX, but I was wrong. It seems as if Mitsubishi made the new Evo for the people who want a vehicle that's more creature comfortable than for performance. Doing it over again, I just would have bought a stripped down / modded 8 or 9 RS. Not sure what I'll buy now that my X is gone.

I drove an Evo VIII for 3 years and couldn't be happier. As soon as there were news about the Evo X I was ready to switch cars. When the Evo X finally came out I test drove it and decided to wait for the MR. I found the Evo X slow, that may be due to my experience driving a modded Evo VIII. Also the trunk was so small that it wasn't practical anymore. The interior was nicer and better quality than the VIII, however the thought "plastic" and "cheap" came to my mind right away. Because of these issues I decided to keep looking for different options, and at the end I got a Lexus ISF.

I've been car shopping these past days because it's time for my wife to get a new car, she drives a 2006 GTi. After visiting different dealers we ended up checking out the Subaru Tribeca. While there I took a look at the STi and it's a beautiful car, right there with the Evo X. There is one thing that caught my attention: interior quality. The STi's cabin feels much better than the Evo, it gives you the impression of being in a better quality car.

I'd say test drive all the cars that you have in your list, and not only consider performance but also quality, gas mileage, and retained value

You need a car to attract girls? I think you have a problem there...

Besides, the mayority of girls are more attracted to money than any other thing, and they know for sure that a BMW is way more expensive/higher class than a Mitsubishi.

Part of the reason why I bought the EVO is the AWD. I want AWD and it is more expensive to equip it for the manufacturer out of factory. Fact being fact you will always get raped in the Ahole a bit extra for buying a more popular name brand. I simply compared the model of the BMW 335 that is closest to the EVOX with my luxuries. That is all. Only thing I couldn't choose in my EVO is leather though cow skin really doesn't interest me in the first place. Didn't mean anything else by it, I think the 335i or xi is a fantastic car.

Oh and the 335i still comes out to nearly 8k more. wtfbbq. You have to pay an extra 850 for sport package and than 600 just to upgrade to 18'inch full alloy wheels...which is standard **** on an EVO.

The 335i is not in the same price range to be compared and frankly I would rather go with the Audi S5 considering how close to price became after I built it to that. The 135i on the other hand is much more comparable on price to the X but that is partly due to that fact that it has no AWD and I wanted AWD.

Exactly, I went to the dealer before I bought my X. In fact the 335i was my choice B. So I was comparing them. They offered me a good price close to the X but it was comparing the fully loaded X to a bare bone nothing 335i. The 335i still came out a bit more and I would have been rolling on 17 inch wheels for over 40k .

Yea.....seriously. I don't know how to even answer people who rate "sex attraction" on a car as part of a car quality. The way some people make it sound is as if when you buy a BMW you have girls jumping on your hood when you are coming down the street.

Not my point to compare the 335 to the X. Just that the 335xi sucks IMO.
