1 big selling point for me is the cruise control.. The 9 doesnt have that?


But ya, im a big fan of the 4g63!!! I still dont know why they had to mess with perfection..

Yes EvoM has some small talk. It has been done. there are aftermarket units for it BUT they run like $300 or so I think. Either way if you need youd pay it. When my Evo was my DD and I was driving it 21 hours straight threw (1500 miles)from FL to MA and so on a few times over again I would have killed for that cause that drive SUCKS ***** even with it lol.


Where my car is at now hmmm no way dont need it since I see 3000 miles a year and thats agout it now

Well im not supprised in the slightest. You all remember the test by the english show "Fifth Gear" and it turned out the VI was faster than the IX.

I think what they have done here is removed what is strictly an enthusiasts car, and make a more user/noob friendly car. Its simply too forgiving, and has lost its aggressive personality entirely.

nah you dont have to think that they have said it..what they were goin for with this evo is to get away from the tuner image and make it more public friendly

most EVO enthusaists hate this but guess what its a company they care about the bottom line more then an image

I dont think that is true between the IV to the IX. but the X yes. If its the5th gears I remember that your talking about it was not entirely fair either the IV had exhaust on it at the very least that I can rememver. I mean I dont think the Stock IVs were running high 12s out of the box. alot of IXs are doing that. Plus laws have changed obviously so it got fatter of the years for more safty BS
