I went up to the local Mitsu lot (Bob King here in Winston-Salem) the other day to check out the new X and low and behold they were unloading like 12 of them when I got there. They still had all the wrapping on them of course so I went back up today to get a better look. I REALLY like the blue ones in person. They look very nice. I was considering trading for a blue one so I test drove one and here are my thoughts...

GOOD

1. Creature comforts like cruise control, 6 disc cd changer
2. Very smooth ride
3. Smooth in terms of powerband
4. New Recaro's are VERY snug

BAD

1. Coming from my modded car, I might as well have been driving a Galant lol It felt so slow to me
2. I drove the one right out of being cleaned so it had a whole 4 miles on it. I might have driven it about 5 giving it a total of 10 miles. When we got back, after just 10 miles, I could smell nothing but burning clutch. It was ridiculous. I'm no amateur in terms of manual driving so I could just imagine a new driver riding that clutch. I don't think the clutches will hold up well at all.

Overall, I was pleased with that dealership (which says alot because I normally don't care for dealerships). The salesmen weren't pushy or anything and treated me fairly so to them. They ended up just 1000 short of what I had set in my head for what I had to get out of mine or I would have driven out of there with blue X lol Maybe later/next year or something

 

before u trade i want 2 buy your wheels

 

lol If I end up trading somehow I'll be keeping the Advans and trading it with the stock powdercoated wheels.. don't see it happening right now though

 

i think the x need some more power .... love the look .

 

^^I have some MR BBS or some rota p45rs 18x9.5 i would trade plus some cash, or just cash, I could do it this weekend u u really wanted 2

 

So, winston has X's already. Cool. I see a road trip this weekend.

When I called Keffer they said they wouldn't have theirs until middle of march.

 

RockHill Has 2

 

Winston got about 12 lol ... apparently winston is supposed to be the largest distributor of Evo's in NC

 

That's cool. By the time I get through Charlotte down to there it's almost easier to go to Winston for me though. Plus I've got some friends up there.

 

pm'ed

 

pm'd you back lol
