The biggest thing you'll notice coming from a Honda is the gas mileage, I suppose. Most recently, I hit an all-time low of 18.6mpg. Got into boost no more than I usually do (once? twice?).
Once I realized that the MPG isn't so much a problem as it is just a part of driving an Evo, I enjoyed the car a LOT more.

Lets see the problems with my Evo, here's my top 10 list
#1 it handles to well
#2 is way to fast
#3 is so good looking
#4 Brembo brakes stop in to short a distance
#5 exhaust sound is pleasing to my ears
#6 also the turbo sounds to Damn good when it spools up
#7 Recaros are way to comfortable and supportive
#8 to easy to make unbelievable HP and TQ for little $
#9 give me pleasure each time I drive it
#10 I will never feel another car can measure up now

I make knives. People always ask me how long the edge will last. I tell them that if it sits in your drawer, forever. If you try to cut a railroad tie, 1 second. Well the EVO is no different. If you keep it stock and drive it to work, you will get 100k out of it. If you rally off road, maybe a weekend....the answer to this inquiry is up to each owner..........rrr

I didn't read the entire thread, but I'll give you a few things.
1. The EVO is expensive, do not "stretch" to buy it
2. Modding is adictive, the more you do, the more you want to do, back to #1
3. The more you mod, the more likely you are to break things and this gets back to #1
4. INSURANCE IS VERY EXPENSIVE, I would get a quote before you buy if you are under 26
I have no complaints about my car. I run a GT30 and the car runs great. However, any car you abuse and increase the power by 50% or more , you should expect to have problems.
