I came from an M5 and honestly the only thing I miss is the trunk and my heated seats that I don't have with my GSR. All the complaints come with the territory of an Evo hope you find a car you dig in the future though!

I refuse to drive any cars with long transmission gearing.

Not sure about this, but with my SSL+navi package, I think my Evo's interior is pretty upscale.

I only keep an umbrella, a first aid kit, and a snow brush in the trunk.

I used to drive a car with back seats that could fold down, but till the day I sold the car, I remained having no ideas on how actually fold them down.

When I have interior rattles, I fix it before it gets me headache.

Still cant get over people buying a performance car, made for performance and ONLY performance, then cry about it not having all these amenities that a car double its cost an nowhere in the same league in performance, has.

FWIW they're are plenty of optional car stereos out there that are very very good. They just cost a boatload of money.
dad had a 2005 SRT10 truck. EXCELLENT stock radio.

Hope exists. All this talk about luxury makes me want to go do something manly. How soft weve gotten lol. I foresee in the future the death of affordable sports cars. Every car is going to just keep dumbing down until the only thing you can buy, that can bang, is a 200+ super car.

Ford RS AWD turbo seems more appalling for me then a Subaru STI.

+1. I think the Focus RS is going to win over the Evo crowd.

Good luck with your next ride. I get where you are coming from, especially if you have an 8 at home in mint condition. I DD my 8 and it does get old, even with a short commute. Some days I just want a quiet, comfortable ride. Hell, just get a Wrangler and keep it simple.
