u must be blind! dont ruin the evo's name by comparing it to a commonwhore!!! Evo IX is love. absolutely perfect car. cept for the crummy interior (barring the recaro's which are perfect) so nice to drive, almost effortless to go fast. turning circle... well... lets just say its similar to the QE2 Absolutely right, Evo's are the perfect sport sedan! Why do you think the Japanese workshops turn these things into brutal monsters on the circuit? Have you seen the HKS CT230R Evo? I haven't been lucky enough to get behind the wheel of one, but have been in the passenger seat of a GSR, and an Evo 9 and I can't compare the sheer power to anything else I have been in. Light chassis weight, nimble handling, a super-responsive boost riddled engine and grip like your driving on rails! Best of all the amount of coin you spend on an Evo. You're getting amazing levels of performance. Sure they're a little cheap on the inside. But you're not buying a luxury cruiser are you? Crappy dash plastics, uninhabitable rear seat, basic options and a fundamental lack of noise, vibration and harhness (NVH) refinements. Can you tell I <3 EVOS? lol
