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.

2012 Evo MR to rule them all

We traded in our 2005 Evo 8 GSR/SSL for this new 2012 Evo X MR in Wicked White , We purchased the car in Aug 2013 and it has been worry free. This is by far the car that does it all, if you wanted the best of all worlds this is the car to get.. I have owned many different cars over the years and the Evo just does it all. Great all weather performance and head turning style, some of the older folks will not understand what makes this car special, but if you know what an Evo is then you know why the car is special. My current cars as of writing this list.. Evo X MR Lotus Elise Porsche Cayman S Porsche Cayenne S C3 Corvette I like them all, but the best overall car is the Evo.

I spent a lot of time looking for a car with a stick and passing power (i.e., Mazdaspeed3, etc). The Evo unexpectedly has more rear leg room behind my driver seat, then other cars; attribute this to where I need to adjust the driver's seat in order to accommodate my physique. The Ford Escort and Mazdaspeed3 had very little leg room after I got comfortable in the driver's seat. This car loves the high revs. If you just try to take it easy, it will fight you. The tranny is only smooth up top. Take your time shifting at lower RPMs. The ride is hard and the car isn't quiet. I swapped out the tires for All-season DWSs. If you enjoy driving, the Evo is for you.

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.

Reliability has not been what you would expect in a car of this price range. Plagued with a few issues, now that could cost you an engine,
