FUN on dailydrive N feellike champion on racetrack

Bought it brandnew in year 2011 with only 6 miles on odometer. Have Dailydrived since, makes routine commute such a fun. Also been to many motorsport events on real racetracks and this Evo NEVER let me down. My racing instructor who is a formers F1 driver loves my Evo, especially this SST dual-clutch transmission's behavior/logic when racing. I will keep my baby Evo X MR FOREVER!

Fastest car I’ve owned so far

I love it. Besides the turning radius. loud on the highway. Very fast car. Takes a while to get used to in the beginning. Otherwise I’ll get another one if I had the money.

Life is Good, with this car

I got this car because I was craving something more fun than a Passat TDI or Infiniti G37. What I got was an ongoing joyful experience. It turned my daily commute drive into a joy, whenever traffic was moving. The ride is spartan in terms of acceleration, and with low-profile tires pumped up solid, the suspension was compliant enough to help retrain traction, but usually evoked gripes from certain passengers who hold more of a comfort aesthetic. For those who like g-forces, it was a squeal-invoking experience.

Good All Year Performance Car

The car is quick and the handling is great. The gas mileage isn't double digits if you are heavy on the gas pedal though I live semi rural and I've managed about 20 mpg. Range between stops at your local gas station will only be about 200 miles though tops. The interior is economy car like aside from a few goodies thrown in such as the front seats(which are as nice as everyone says!). The trunk space is much smaller then other cars and the lack of ability to fold down the rear seats might be an issue for some though. I've had the pleasure of driving the car in all kinds of weather now and the reassurance of the WRC all wheel drive system in this car can't be beat. Running costs will be HIGH if the car needs anything beyond oil. Tires, Brake Pads,Clutches, etc are all very expensive for this car. Over all driving this car is very unlike most anything you have every driven. All the controls are very responsive to even the smallest change the driver makes. All in all owning this car has been a joy and I would recommend it to any car lover. Provided they know what they are committing to....

Evo FTW

There's nothing wrong with this car, the interior isn't as bad as everyone makes it seem, besides who cares you have Recaro seats. Everything about this car is phenominal, if you're thinking about getting one run to the nearest dealer and ask to drive it, you won't regret it. And the GSR is the way to go!

2011 Evo X MR

Bought the evo with 5500 miles pretty new still. Have it for 3 days now soo far, omg is it quick even stock and on pump gas. It puts my old turbo prelude i had to shame... I also own a 2007 Eclipse GT it also comes no where close to the speed and handling of the EVO. The Twin Clutch SST in the MR shifts faster then u can say WOW. Launch Control well relocate all your internal organs. This car is simply amazing, comes with Rocksford FrostGate audio makes all my tunes come alive. BBS rims and BreamBo breaks stops the car in a heart beat. Over all 10/10

Get the Recaros

Unless you're NBA material, your first thought may be to avoid the Recaro seats because they're too low and have no height adjustment. That would be a mistake. The Recaros, particularly in cloth, are the most comfortable car seats in existence. Deal with the height issue by buying longer 10mm grade 9 bolts, plus whatever number of washers you need to shim to your desired height. My wife is 5'3" and my seat height is perfect for both of us. In stock form, lumbar support is weak but Recaro offers two slide-in foam pads that add excellent lumbar support. I can drive all day and never think about the seats. They're that comfortable. One more thing: replace the junky OEM tires with Continental Extreme Contacts in the same size. They're the best tires I've ever driven, in every respect.
