"I ever thought about writing a review until some of my friends were interested in buying an Evo. Being a technician helps with the maintenance, but really as long as you don't abuse the car it should last. I found my first one with 67,000 miles on it and now my second one with 99,000. Both 03's. My first one is still going strong at 262,000 as of today. I love the cars handling,power, and don't forget about the AWD which is such a great thing to have in the snow. I drive it a lot and am a smaller guy so sitting in the recaros all day is okay. Might it be comfortable for a bigger guy. Either way, I love mine. Just don't use cheap parts and you should have a car that last a while."

"I just recently bought my 2003 GSR with 27,500k miles...had to drive it all the way from Michigan to Wisconsin too. No problems whatsoever, just make sure to get best fluids and gas always. I have always loved the way these cars look, and the only bad things that i would say about this car are: 1. Using the turbo absolutely EATS gas...and when you aren't using it, expect around 17-19mpg city, 20-23 highway. 2. Interior looks great...Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel, etc. But the stock stereo blows, and some of the interior components look kinda plasticky. Really though...most fun car i have ever driven. Almost all used Evos you will find have modifications done to them, and depending what the previous owners did and how the owners took care of them, you could either have a ticking time bomb or a great vehicle that will last for years to come. Do your research and get the car(s) inspected before you decide to dish out any $$$"

"This has been one of the best cars I've ever driven! It's fast and handles like a dream around the corners. Also it gives you the best of both worlds the luxury of a sedan and the speed and control of a sports car."

"Lots of fun to drive. Corners well. Believe it or not it is very good in the snow (if you swap out the OE tires) due to the AWD. The first model year (2003) has its problems but once sorted is reliable. Mileage is good if you stay out of the turbo boost...but what fun is that?"

"wow wow wow, this car is just amazing! it outperforms alot of cars double or triple its price and with a little modification it is one of the fastest cars on the road, it can still go to the store and can be almost tame enough to go on a long,comfortable drive in the country I plan on buying as many of these cars as I can in one word it still boils down to WOW"
