should i take my evo x on a road trip
If it's just yourself I would but anybody else in the passenger seat I'm little worried about. My wife gets car sick and complains her butt hurts everytime we go on a road trip. But tHen again if it's just you and your not worried about gas, I say take it!
Just got back from a road trip in the EVO and I would not have wanted to take any other car. I was really surprised at how comfortable it was after a eleven hour drive. Gas mileage was not terrible either. I was getting about 26-27 mpg cruising at about 75 mph. Almost as good as the Saab that was with us.
Now... if you do take the Evo, which I would personally do... make sure you get the oil changed before you leave, get new tires if you need them, and make sure all maintenance is up to date. Also make sure you've completed all recalls. Last thing you want is an issue during your road trip. Have extra cash for another tire if you get a blowout on the way, you don't want to drive on the donut for too long, in fact, I'd take it out for extra storage space (IMO).

yea def take it man, every road trip i go on, i always ask myself why didnt i take my car. 1 thing tho, i do miss a 6th gear, as im coming from a type-s, cruising in a evo can get pretty noisy lol but i love it nonetheless







never looked at it that way, but makes perfect sense.
