Just Great

This car is the best bang for the buck you can get. I used to have an Eclipse, and this car builds on that fun factor. It is very solid at high speeds and will get you in trouble if you don't watch out. Its gas mileage isn't as good as it was in my Eclipse, but that is expected since you're on an AWD platform now. I prefer this car much more over the looks of the STi.

Fun Car to Drive

The EVO is the best car to drive. The reason is that you will never have more fun than any other car while you drive. I had many cars and nothing compares to the EVO. However, if you don't own an EVO you should go and get yours now because they are almost sold out in the United States.

It is what it is

So far, the car is exactly what I expected. It's a race car in street clothing, and it acts like it. The ride is stiff, the tires are noisy, and the steering will put you into a ditch before you can blink if you doze off. That said, the car is fairly docile if you stay off the throttle and keep it under 3,000 RPM. It drives a lot like my old Sentra SE-R under those conditions. When you open it up however, it's a completely different car, and it more than makes up for any "luxury" inadequacies it has.

Too Good to Be True

I could not be more excited to drive away in my new Evo. Finally, a bang for buck value that I could enjoy everyday except for when the clutch system melted. That was the beginning of the end for me. Don't get me wrong, this car is top speed/handling and all the flash, but after 14500 the clutch is going out and that is not right. To make matters worse, it is labeled a wear item, not a warranty item. Simply put, "buyer beware". I would have kept the car, but not knowing if the clutch would be destroyed after another 14,000 and having to spend another $1400 to replace all the parts... I have had enough.

I can't even unleash the full potential of this beast yet because it's breaking-in, but it's already a blast. Its build quality is solid, which I expected since it's built in Japan. It's a solid improvement over the previous generation, even if the changes seem minor on paper.
