The EVO will be my daily driver too

 

EVO X OWNER 2 B

if you look at the second response...
A moderator responded with a positive answer... so obviously your just looking for trouble..

 

thank you. i agree the title of the thread and the question were worth a sarcastic chuckle.....but honestly i didn't think anyone would get so worked up about it.

 

IMO, who buys an EVO for cruise control. It would be nice for super long distances, but for that to make or break the decision....wow, just wow.

 

With paddle shifters, it will definitely have cruise. On the MT, who knows.

 

Yeah, I noticed that after. However, I standby my replies and would post them again in a heartbeat. And, no, I'm not "looking for trouble." Really, this question is so newbie-like and it surprised me that an "evolved member" posted it. A little search would've retrieved your answer multiple times.

 

i totally agree with what your saying but................ different situations have different priorities.

Keep in mind, i still have my VIII. which isn't going anywhere. and my DD now is an Xterra.

Do i want to sell my Xterra and get the evo X for a daily driver? yes
do i need another performance car for my Daily driver? no
Do i need to put more emphasis on little amenities that i need for a daily driver? Yes i do.....and for my daily driver, i use cruise control every day of the week.

If i was buying my first evo as the X, then hell no. Cruise control wouldn't mean s_it to me. Hell, it didn't on my 03 or 05 evo.

but the car will be used for other purposes....ie business, travel, other.

Plus, when the wife says to me "You want another Evo!!!???, They don't even have cruise control!!??"

I can point my finger and say "Yes it does"

 

Why are you so interested in cruise control? So you can talk on the phone while you drive?

 

i agree totally, if chrysler mess all up then this evo fan has been come a WRX fan and i am sure at list 50% evo owner will change there mind too if mitsubishi made that wrong move, yes they are trying to get more people from like the bmw and audi but at the same time is a trade off...

so the big question is about prices, leliability, weight , performce and handling....

handling is the evo top number 1 thing
they can't mess it up on that but prices and leliabilty and weight
o they can cause they team up with chrysler

 

Is it just me or JDM butt kissers are just insane?

 

Maybe just a little. I just don't have any faith in American production or design. Take a look at the US performance car offerings...looks pretty bleak doesn't it? The Mustang uses a solid axle rear still and its year 2007. What production performance cars does Chrysler even produce right now? Viper? Hmmm yeah thats about it...oh wait theres that PT Cruiser turbo, SRT-4, Charger, Magnum, and Crossfire! Awesome, they all seem to suck really badly!

 

Absolutely.. One thing I know is that in 12-18 months I will be heading down to my local Chrysler dealer to check out the new Evo.

 

That is a hard comparison to make. The R34 Although heavier than the Evo does not handle NEARLY as well although it does handle well for a car its size. But w/ size comes sacrifice. Which is y the 34 and Evo arent even classed the same. GT-R's are monsterous when it comes down to it but stock to stock the evo out-accelerates it, out-handles it, and out-performs it. But if you put 10k into an Evo and 10k into a 34 the 34 will be the better car in all aspects. BTW. Anyone want a 34 GT-T or a 33 GT-R? I've driven both. If u put me in front of one of each stock i'd probably take the Skyline Just on principle. But if it were at a track. EVO HANDS DOWN.

Any replies? God i missed this message board. I NEED A NEW EVO. WHO IS SELLING AN MR?

 

Yea thats true. But y introduce a car to us that starts out in the Mid to high 20's range. Well Low to mid 30's actually and then raise it. Kinda makes u think they want to screw their customers. It should be the same price as the VIII and IX. IMO

 

No, that's what the Bluetooth is for. The automatic would be a help for talking on the phone if there is no Bluetooth.

Cruise control would be great for preventing unintentional speeding on road trips. IDK how many times we've taken my car to my in laws, 3 and a half hour drive mostly through the mountains and I find myself progressively going faster and faster without realizing it. I'll be driving along, notice traffic in the right lane seems to be especially slow, look down and I'll be damned if I'm not doing 90 through the twisties. Cruise would be nice for that.
