MR = Bomb.com
The MR is one of the sickest cars on the road today. Owning and driving one is like being in a video game. Not to mention the fact that $1,000 - $2,000 in bolt on parts puts the car over 300 awhp at the wheels. The MR is on the cutting edge of technology. Get one while they are still left.
Well built, engineered like nothing else
With a small investment in professional tuning - wider down pipe, cosworth cams, reflash and AWD dyno mapping, this car rated 341 whp and turned 11.9. This car was solidly constructed high interior and exterior build quality with plain materials. Sadly, car was impossible to live with. A small trip across Boston to drop off my son and pick him up from camp was always an unpleasant ride. This is a car for enthusiasts in rural areas with garage space. This is a truly fast car.

It is what it is
So far, the car is exactly what I expected. It's a race car in street clothing, and it acts like it. The ride is stiff, the tires are noisy, and the steering will put you into a ditch before you can blink if you doze off. That said, the car is fairly docile if you stay off the throttle and keep it under 3,000 RPM. It drives a lot like my old Sentra SE-R under those conditions. When you open it up however, it's a completely different car, and it more than makes up for any "luxury" inadequacies it has.
Too Good to Be True
I could not be more excited to drive away in my new Evo. Finally, a bang for buck value that I could enjoy everyday except for when the clutch system melted. That was the beginning of the end for me. Don't get me wrong, this car is top speed/handling and all the flash, but after 14500 the clutch is going out and that is not right. To make matters worse, it is labeled a wear item, not a warranty item. Simply put, "buyer beware". I would have kept the car, but not knowing if the clutch would be destroyed after another 14,000 and having to spend another $1400 to replace all the parts... I have had enough.
I Love This Car!!!
I love my Evo!! The mpg isn't bad at all for all the power. I get about 17 in town and about 28 on the highway. The power is truly addictive. It looks awesome and drives great too. I had a 3000GT twin turbo, but I like the practicality of this car much more, and it looks even better.
