Too bad telescoping steering wheels aren't a safety requirement. Hoped after 8 years in production they would have made that an option.

something about a moveable head rest being required...from what I hear.

$49K for a 311 RS isn't sounding so bad anymore.

Lets just hope the special production run end model makes up for this.

Glad I bought a 2015 Audi S3. I assume the seats no longer passed government standards???

Yeah, I wonder if that's just something the dealer takes off the moment they know you're serious. And after you've let them know how much of a joke that is.

Are there any of those left to purchase? I would have assumed they were all spoken for.

not to be "that" guy but that isn't it - it has to do with the side impact airbags not being up to standard. You still get fixed head rests in the new M3/M4 and 911s.

Nope, they're all ready for delivery to the 10 owners

Hi folks,
I just went Puente Hills and Cerritos dealers looking for the 2014 Evo MR. They are doing mark up (+6K - 10K) on top of the MSRP price. So I change my mind to get a 2015 Evo MR instead.

Does any one know which dealers have the good offer for the 2015 MR?
The Cerritos one gave me a ridiculous offer for the 2015 Evo MR $40000 + $5000 (mark up) + Taxes +... around $50000 OTD...

Thanks!

Be willing to travel = get cheaper car.

You could have your pick of 2014's from a dealership here in Houston for under sticker.

I thought they would have at least tried to produce some kind of sport seat. Those don't appear sporty in any way.

To me, the 2014 is the last of the real EVO's, and I bought mine brand new for that reason alone. You should run and grab up that Fiesta, that is one of the most fun cars I have ever been behind the wheel of, no BS. (Owned a Focus ST as well, similar fun, but the handling is crazy better in the Fiesta even with substantially less power)

My next car is going to say "Hellcat" on the back, so I may be daily driving the evo sooner than I thought
Funny, I'm a bit of a RWD or AWD snob, but the Fiesta ST is the exception.

And the thing is every bit as fun as it looks. Thinking about picking one up just to drive around for fun.

Exactly! These seats are an abomination.

I'm looking at a 15 WW evo for $34,399. The only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger is the seats.

If stuck buying a 2015, I'd try these (in this order):

1.) Find someone replacing their seats and buy their old ones

2.) Try and order seats from the dealer for a 2014

3.) Try and order the seats directly from Recaro

4.) Order aftermarket seats from Recaro

I'd look into all of those options, and if one suites your needs, jump on it. If you're willing to go to PA to buy the car, I could maybe set you up with a dealer that would sell you a 2015 with Recaros. I'd have to ask.
