Test drove the Evo..

Nativepenguin · 06-21-2008, 06:44 PM

Test drove the Evo X, i have to say not impressed. Yeah you can feel the power but its getting the car to go is what killed me... It was like i could not keep a steady pace on getting it going. I dont know how to explain it. Its felt like it needed to be at 2000 RPMs just to get going really.. Its a bit more roomy than the STi and it just felt larger overall, i know it is but it seemed to be a great amount bigger.
The interior was already collecting lint from people getting in and out. Im so glad i had that experiance, it really shows me how much i love the STi..

Ya, the new Evo isn't doing too well. I don't even see that many of them if at all.

They are cheaper..not by much i think enough for people to make that the reason to get it..

I'll be test driving one one of these days. Just for fun, I don't expect much.
