Exceeds Expectations

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.

Excellent perf out of the box! Handling is as nimble as S2000, slight understeer. Very little turbo lag as the RPMs climb effortlessly. The TC-SST is superb! Auto is great in LA traffic, and Manual Sport just screams for open pavement. Driven stick my entire life (I'm 29), I welcome TC-SST technology as an early adapter. Shifts fast! Don't have to give up the power as I would driving a torque converter auto! AWD noise is clunky sometimes, and turn radius is a bit larger than I'd like. Gauges need more driver info, but seats are AWESOME. Steering wheel is perfect size. 1 gripe: car has no "legs!" Small fuel tank means frequent fill. Overall very happy! Can't beat 0% APR & wife can drive it too! :)

Great track car; not so great commuter

Lack of overdrive gear really kills highway mileage (3500-4000rpms); really bogs down below 3k rpms, still has turbo lag between 3-5k then starts to fall flat above 5500 rpm. Redline might as well be 5500 rpm. Handles great but the only way to safely test its limits is at the track. Don't bother buying unless you plan to track the car at least recreationally.

2 weeks so far & I love this car. Have owned BMW, Shinka RX8 and other performance vehicles & I think this is a great vehicle for the money. Great balance between size (seats 5, including 2 booster seats 4 kids). Love the handling, looks, and package (GSR with SSS).

2010 EVO X GSR (short term)

I Traded in my 05 Tacoma for the Evo. The car I drove in high school was 90 bhp Mustang so I may be going through a mid 20's crisis. The interior build quality isn't as good as the Toyota, and you will be filling up the tank every 5 days also cops will pay lots of attention to you. However none of these small concerns matter, I am now getting to work early just so I can drive on the road at 6:00 am w/o traffic.
