I usually don't get too excited about this kind of thing (non-technical) but take a look at the interior on the UK 2009 GSR Premium! Wow!

really not all that impressive to me, just shows that the evo is going in the wrong direction

 

? It looks like a normal X interior.

 

i don't like the leather idea in the evo, period. It is too slippery and has nothing to do with the rally car image.
sorry

 

If its in the UK, and it looks to be an MR, there is no way its a 35k car. Probably closer to 50k.

 

i think this is a 09 premium GSR edition.

 

I'm referring to the leather seats in particular.

 

Ahh I see. It's still not that impressive.

 

Ahhh...slippery leather seats - hotter in the summer and colder in the winter.


FWIW, I purposefully chose a car without leather. Holding the driver in the seat during cornering makes a huge difference - ie. Alcantera vs leather. I guess it depends on why one bought an Evo.

 

I'll take my lighter, grippier cloth seats, thanks.

 

Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with the interior in my EVO 9.

I wouldn't want it to look anymore "BMWish".

And yes, I just made up that word.

 

Lighter?

 

By what? Offering leather seats? lol.
They still offer the RS for the hard core / wanna be crowd.

Looks nice. Guess the rest of you guys didn't notice the "premium" tag next to the GSR.

 

First off........... I love the car! However.............. c'mon guys!!! The interior in this car is a shame! Something I'd expect in a much cheaper car! And I've heard all the excuses from....... "this car is about performance" to "I didn't buy this car because of the interior but the engine, suspension, handling, etc." Bottom line........ the interior is a POS! It is what it is............

 

I'm not sure what people want from the interior?

The only think that I prefer is the black vs. the "carbon fiber" plastic on the dash (as in the MR).
