It's the Rockford system with the sub and HID headlights with halogen daytime lights. You also get the advanced key.

That, too. I never use it, though. Everyone in Colorado either drives a truck, SUV, or mini van.

The only grige/complaint I got is that in 2012 they removed the sensor on the door handle so now instead of just touching the door handle I have to push the little black button to unlock the doors. But other than that I just got over 500 miles on it and I am loving it very much.

Certain components are now available for these cars, in Aus at least, dealers are now required to diagnose what ever issue the TCSST is having and try to repair it.

I've had dealers have good success with replacing the mechatronic assembly (similar to a valve body). The process is quite involved and requires a Mits dealer to reinitialize it (ie if a 3rd party overhauls or replaces components, a mits dealer is required to 'teach in' the TCSST)
The clutch pack is available as well.
Parts may or may not be on restricted access to dealers. The may not be available to the public. From memory a mechatronic assembly is $5,500

Being a new MR owner I think to myself there is no way I'd go back to manual. So I was curious on your reason. That makes sense to me as it's expensive.

The funny thing is that I could see myself do a 180 2 years from now and want a manual again. I'm never satisfied for a long period of time. Hopefully this car will be the first time I am.

You can't go wrong with an Evo. Have fun with the new car!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission

Dual clutch manual or semi-manual or semi-auto has NO torque converter.

When your schooled up on what the diffrence between the two are then you may as well fix your statement and apoligze to that poor guy above.

Thanks,

Not trying to be a bully, man. I just don't appreciate being called ignorant by someone who obviously lacks comprehension in the English language well enough to know the difference between an opinion vs. trying to make a factual statement. I can understand if I said, "Automatics are garbage because they're weak, slow, etc." without anything to back up my supposed facts. Merely stating that they are "" is the least of anyones' worries as that is just a personal opinion of preference. And jeez... I'm German, so English isn't my strong language.

I know the difference between an automatic and dual clutch system. Thanks. Would you be happier if I edited it to say "SST" instead of "automatic?"
I honestly have no problem with the SST because I know it shifts faster than anyone in a manual car. I have a problem with the fact that I'm left with a synthetic feeling of "shifting" my vehicle in a pseudo slap shifter/sequential shift style, or using the flappy paddles. It's just not the same at all if you ask me. Either way, it's an Evo and I honestly don't care what transmission you prefer.

If he wants an apology then he should man up and say it himself. I'm actually a nice guy with a poor sense of humor.

You will not be disappointed. I've been around DSMs and Evos for a LONG time. I can honestly say that I'm very happy with the Evo X.

Wait what? Every Evolution I've seen with the key-less entry has a button, not a sensor. Even the Outlanders have the same button entry system.

In 2008 there was a sensor on the inside of the handle. No button to push.

I took this screen shot from VW.com when building a GTI. As you know it's also dual clutch yet they call it an 'automatic'. Please contact VW and explain what WIKI says and school them.




Also referencing anything WIKI must always be looked at with a grain of salt. I can WIKI something and call it what I want until someone else decides to change it.

If the manufacturer still leaves the PRNDL on the lever, it will always be an auto no matter what the internals are.

To the OP, congrats on the purchase. Either version is nice. It's an Evo.
