Hahah some one was gonna do it soon. Post some pics of this bish. I love the evo X even though the WRX STi is right there with it in my book. Even if it's a little heavy.

What are you going to do when someone hands you your arse while you're driving it.

Should've just bought a Miata and done the downhill like a man. Uphill will go to whatever car has more power, downhill goes to man with skill.

i dont think its hate.. its only a joke, man.. dont take them seriously... anyway, good luck with your evo x... if anyone value my personal oppinion, i like the evo8-9 better.. sexier arse on those two... though the evo x have sharper and more demeaning looks.

I like the 8 and 9 myself but the SST tranny on the MR really peaked my intrest and after a few test drives I really fell in love with it the down shift rev matches are 10X smoother than what i could ever hope to accomplish with my clown feet. And the fact that my G/F can use it while ive got her car on stands is another +1 in my book. As far as the GTR it was on my list (55k-60k is the common price on used 09's), but i decided for the price i could buy an MR and a 370z/S2000/STI/FR-S or w/e i decide my next project should be.

No hate dude. Just joking around. I'm sure you are going to be happy with your purchase. We ALL know our fit's don't have the most power of the other cars out there. Sometimes you just have to have that "pushed into the backseat feeling".

Aye, I came from a modded SRT-4 to the Fit for gas/dependability reasons. I chose the Fit for the chassis/weight and the ability to drop it down to the 2300 range quickly and easily. I don't regret my purchase one bit the fit is perfect for a lightweight tossable downhill momentum car. With my mods the turn in is insane and the chassis is extremely communicative. On the downhill I have pulled a gap on my friends modded Evo and held it.

That being said the world is not downhill and I want a car that is fast everywhere and the Evo is that car, with the SST and S-AWC it basically drives for you. It may not be as rewarding to drive with all the gadgets artificially making you faster, but it goes like stink in all conditions on all roads. If i need a rewarding drive i still have the keys to the Fit.

My favorite Evo have to be the V but I'm starting to like the new styling, looks very mean, especially after seeing a a white one. Grats on your new car Tedkou, post up some pics.

I like the white on the GSR but the painted vents on the MR really turned me off to it. I got a killer deal on this black one tho. 5.5k under NADA and I know the guy that was selling it and he included all mods ... sooo about 5k worth of stuff i was going to buy anyway. I'll have pics up as soon as the rain lets up *sigh*.
