Hi guys, first post here as I am looking for a 2014 or 2015 Evo.

I'm in Canada so we do get the Recaro's in the 2015.
My concern is on the canadian site:

For the 2014: ALUMINUM HOOD, ROOF AND FRONT FENDERS

For the 2015: ALUMINUM HOOD WITH HEAT EXTRACTOR VENTS
http://www.mitsubishi-motors.ca/en/v...on/2015/specs/

Is it a mistake or no aluminum roof and fenders for the 2015?

 

Most of the dealers in Socal are F**kin crooks. They can go F**K themselves with a 10K markup on a 2014

 

Well I stand corrected. A 10K markup sounds like a steal when compared to what they want for one at this dealer

Am I reading this Sh*& correctly? $431,850

 

Obviously, that is a typo, and someone added an extra zero.. Sometimes when dealers post stuff on autotrader, they "accidently" do that because it makes their add jump all the way to the top. Usually, the default listing for Autotrader is showing highest prices first..

 

Yup the recaros increased the value

 

This right here ^^^

 

My S2K will be paid off in February and hopefully I can find a fire sale on a MY15, then just buy some used 08-14 seats. Problem solved for me.

 

Has anyone sat in the new seats? I have sat in the Recaros and honestly was a bit too narrow for me. I know they don't look as good as the Recaros, but for me, comfort would probably win me over.

 

If you've ever sat in a base Lancer then you've sat in the seats. They are the same.

 

i happened to try the seat out at LA Auto Show few weeks ago and i was SO glad i pulled the trigger and bought the 14 (last year with RECARO) instead of 15

seats are so sad

 

Honestly if I were in the market and didn't already have my '14 I'd just buy a '15 and put my own seats in it. I mean yeah it sucks but it's easily fixable.

 

The 2014 Recaros seem a bit narrow when you first get in.

When you take a corner con gusto, they seem just right.

I'm a little disappointed that the lumbar support isn't adjustable.
My ST-165 had power adjustable side bolsters and lumbar support. But it didn't have air curtains in the bolsters, though.

The Recaros were one factor in my choosing an EVO VIII over an STi, back in '03:
If you don't like the seats, you can put almost any other Recaro on the same mounts.
Not as easy on the '14 X, with the airbags in the seats.

But the X is much much better in a side impact.
The VIII's "B" pillar was so far forward that the shoulder harness didn't fit snug.
Any hit on the drivers side would have slammed my head against the roof frame.
The X's "B" pillar is far enough back to hold the shoulder harness correctly, and Mitsu added enough air pillows to the sides to improve the side impact safety.

 

Wow, I've been having a little bit of buyers remorse purchasing my 2014 because I was hoping to get black instead of white (got a GREAT deal on a WW though). After reading this, I'm starting to just be happy I got an EVO and that it's a 2014 not a 15...

 

Damn do you want to trade? I am seriously wishing I would have gotten white
