Test drive tonight........:->

Mitsu dealerships need to stop thinking the EVO is a rare exotic and can't be test-driven. Every other dealership realizes this when they are used and freely allow test-drives. Also, other car manufactuers freely allow you to drive one of their cars in the same price bracket as the EVO.

MR's are pretty limited, I don't think they want to waste them during test drives. It makes sense.

Yeah maybe I guess, but there is no reason why they can't let the regular EVO's be test-driven. I can understand it if 4 high schoolers show up asking for a drive, but not when its a middle-aged man or a younger more "professional" looking person.

Sorry but I'll NEVER buy a car unless I can drive it first, PERIOD.

I'm just 'funny' that way, <like 99% of all sane people are>

Exactly. Sure, you may know that it handles and what not in a supreme way, but what if you don't like the way it does all those things. Every car like an Evo or what not handles or drives or whatever in a different manner. Just because the car is awesome, doesn't mean it's for everyone interested in something along those lines. You gotta be able to test drive what you're buying.

I'll let you test drive mine Howie.

I agree with you, but I also agree with the dealer policy.

Cool, If your serious, that would really help me decide???

How do you REALLY like your MR on a scale of 1 to 10?

What's the good, and whats the Bad?

I may drive the MR LAST, and the Vette and Sti beforehand.

Sure, it will at least give you a feel for an Evo. I usually go to the Wednesday night MNSC meets at Culvers off of Bass Lake RD and 494 if you want to stop by.

From 1 to 10, I like it a 10; if it wasn't so ugly I'd give it an 11. It's just put together so well it's hard to describe. Everything works well together. A lot of people say it's a "driver's car" and some put it ahead of the exotics they've owned or driven as far as the sheer joy and ease of driving it.

It really is a purpose built race car though, so if you like to cruise a Vette would be a better choice. The Evo is ugly and rides relatively harsh. Especially the regular Evo dampers (the MR's are a little softer) [a regular Evo with lowering springs will probably knock your teeth out]. My MR has relatively expensive coilovers though, and even though it's lowered I think it rides even slightly softer then the Bilsteins.
