I'm still thrilled like a kid on Christmas morning with mine. Serious performance while being completely livable as a daily driver. I'm officially the dad with the coolest car at my son's middle school.
I plan to hold onto mine for at least another 4-5 years...

~18-20mpg, depending how i'm driving. mostly all city. 20 gallon tank is nice - seemed like the Evo always needed filling up.
main gripe is the Bose "Studio On Wheels" system, but i tweaked the iPod EQ and added a powered sub in a sealed enclosure, so that helps. i'll replace the Bose amp and speakers if i ever get bored someday, but its ok for now.
added a stainless axle-back exhaust - nice deeper sound without being too obnoxious. probably gained 60lbs in weight savings - stock rear muffler is huge and heavy! |
I've never driven an Evo MR, but I'm not surprised the G37 sport mode cannot match the shifts on the MR.
There's no replacement for the deep growl of a nice axle-back exhaust system! It really improves the "sensory experience" of the daily commute. Which one did you get?
