This car is a wonderful driving car. The car handles excellently, and if it is tuned, can put out an exceptional 400hp. Drifting with this vehicle is harder being it is All Wheel Drive but otherwise is a very fun car. The new 2008 mustang gt puts out 300hp and is 1 1/2 times more heavy. Stock this car will smoke all the other cars for the same price. Great on gas, great reliability. The Subaru WRX STI is a great car as well although the latest models of this car are hatchback which is not preferred and do not do as well with handling.
Nothing in the price range to beat it...

Performance? Oh yeah.. I owned the Evo IX and this car to me is MUCH better. It still has the cheap interior, thin paint, and bad gas mileage, but the X is a MUCH more comfortable car overall. I'm not a big aftermarket guy, but a tune really goes a leap ahead of what is already an excellent car performance wise. The S-AWC makes the new safe Evo even more safe than it already is by letting you turn the car suddenly without it even batting an eye. Like others have said and will say a strong 6 speed manual would be nice, but I don't drive fast where I live... the speed limit is still 55 and with the tune and a bit of added timing I can get 24-26 on the highway.
Great For The Buy

Just bought the car. Put about 1500 miles on her. Runs great. Don't really care about the interior. Bought it just for outside look and performance. Drifted around 80 degree turn at 80mph. Handles great! This is a sports car.....Not made for comfort. Don't buy if you want comfort. I bought it for drifting.

My new Evo X GSR has blown me away, but before I get to why, I'll note what's wrong: needs 6th gear in manual, better clutch. At this pricepoint, I expect a few more interior luxuries. Sight, sound and spoiler should be stock. Also, why are the brakes not cross drilled, and why must they leave so much brake dust on my wheels? Highs: great stereo with sight, sound and spoiler. Comfort of drive is extremely high for a car that pulls a lateral G. Insanely fun to drive. Seriously stylish. Outruns anything in its class or the next one up. With Vishnu, HKS, K&N, and NOS, this car will be able to hit 600+ bhp. I believe I can get the 1/4 down to 10s.

Lows Seats and steering wheel should be more adjustable. More choices should be available for interior prestige. Car is hard to find, selection does not exist. Needs a sixth gear on the manual and a tighter gear pattern. Tough to launch without burning clutch. Highs Quick, Responsive, Amazing Handling, Comfortable (Racing seats are a nice touch, Great Stock Stereo (except lack of PIO adapter), attention grabber (except when its the cops attention) I have the GSR with Sight Sound and Spoiler package. The car is amazingly fast and smooth. Its extremely fun to drive (which is the most important factor here), comfortable, and immersive. Highs are really high, lows are mostly minor.
