Yea, i like that it would take a lot of attention, when im diving i like to be 100% involved in my car, thats why i have to drive stick, i need as much control as possible, and it also means I wouldn't get bored of it

Not quiet enough for a long highway drive? Are they serious? Have they ever driven a Neon SRT4 or a Mazdaspeed 3? My Evo X is beyond quiet compared to the other cars in its league. I wish the damn thing was louder. And yes it needs a 6th gear for the highway.

^^ i guess they are comparing it to other 30-40k cars, im sure its louder then most do to wind noise and the high RPMs cruising in 5th gear

^ They say the Evo X carries a hefty $30-40K pricetag since it uses an "econo-box" platform, although in reality it is a a LOT of car for the money, considering the performance it puts out both power-wise and handling-wise... plus high potential. I say this is no longer true, with the $5-8K usual discounts combined with no interest financing, it can be had for bout the same price of a VW GTI w/ similar equipment/options. To me, that's no contest right there. :-)

What they say in the vid can't be more true - I've done so many stupid things (that I wouldnt have done otherwise in any other car) on the road that it's made me a more mature driver coming out of bad situations unscathed. I've no regrets on the X!

i Just graduated. I cant wait to get one of these. Honestly, its been one of my goals these upcoming years to own an Evo. I 've dreamed so long in attaining one. I just wish i can it sooner. I recently rode in an Evo X with a tune and god lord it made me so happy. I envy ppl that have Evos.
