Look at these guys claiming that the R32 is a better car than the EVO RS..
Amount of misinformation is staggering.

Well, I've read that article and that's not what I got out of it. Everyone agreed that the EVO was a far superior performer, BUT, the R32 was the car they would rather live with daily. The EVO was great on the numbers (E.T. of 14's but they admitted high temps and humidity probably had something to do with it).
I walked away from that article confirming everything I already thought... EVO wins for performance but is a harsh ride for the everyday commute. That's ok, I'll take the performance any day over ride.

I really don't care about the articles words so much. I know the evo is a better performing vehicle. But the 0-60 5.81 seconds? WTF. car and driver rates it at 4.8 a full second and road and track at 4.5. Whats with these guys?

I would take this with a grain of salt since these morons only managed a 14.50 1/4 time and a 5.81 0-60 time with an Evo RS. I think I might be able to do that launching from 2nd gear.

For those that whine about an EVO not being a daily driver, get a SRT-4. :P
Try commuting on a supersport motorcycle on a regular basis, and the EVO's Recaros become the most plush ever.

Everytime they compare an EVO to another car, it's the same shi.et.
Well, even though the Evo costs less, it is faster and handles better around a racetrack, but the interior and ride comfort of the [insert car name] is a lot better, so we pick the [insert car name] as our choice for a better everyday car.

I really dont understand why so many complain about the stiff ride?
I daily drive my EVO and I think its pretty damn comfy, try driving a 77 Landcruiser FJ-40 for a couple of years, now that is a crued ride!

Priorities...
From http://www.autoweek.com/article.cms?articleId=100811:
[The] R32 is distinguished from the stiffly sprung competition by its ride and interior—it will not have your spleen begging for mercy after the first six blocks of driving. The only problem: The Evo will be seven blocks ahead by then.
