CR has a comical review history, but they don't rate cars by outright
performance. Motortrend rated the BMW 135i better than the Evo X, but
at least they admitted that the Evo handled far better and was more of
a sports car. They just felt the 135i was more livable (if you keep it
out of snow and rain!) as a daily driver. And I agree with that.

Drove past my dealer today on the way back from flying...It appears
that there is a new delivery of Lancers sitting behind the fence, two
blue, a white and two red.
I'm expecting a call tomorrow.


If you can't afford a decent sports car, and not many of us can, an Evo X
will allow you to pretend.




So then, Jlrogers admits that he thinks the Lotus Elise, 135i, Evo X,
911 Turbo, STI and most other cars under 100K are NOT sports cars! But
if they are the Evo X still handles better than all but a few...but
it's not a sports car and it's a toy for teenagers with a spare 40
grand!
Yup, okay! I agree. I'm planning on enjoying my toy very much!
