There are comments in the press about its handling.
These comments only apply when driving at the limits,
on the track.
For normal driving it handles much, much better
than an ordinary car. As long as you don't push
the throttle more than half way down, it behaves
like a pusseycat.... an incredibly sleek pusseycat,
that roars like a lion every now and then!

Donal when I bought my Evo, I did a quick run in then went for a quiet
cruise though a couple of forest roads that had been closed after half
a metre of fresh show.


Nothing other than a tank could have gone through that 100km of road
and certainly not at an average speed in excess of 90km/hr.

If I cruise I drive a supercharged AWD luxury sedan...when I drive, I
prefer the Evo.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Yup, and I live in an area that requires AWD big time. It's a key
reason why I chose the Evo over a Cayman S or Exige. I like a car to
be a full time toy and an Aston Martin just can't make the grade on
these twisty roads in the snow....or even in the dry compared to an
Evo X.

Yep.
BTW I had a small problem on that drive, the AYC went into limp mode
and I really noticed the difference before I noticed the warning
light.
I'd managed to shake a connection loose in the computer.
Mitsu sent a guy up from 400kms away to replace the part at my hotel
but they only had a part from a demo car. They contacted me later and
replaced the part with a new one then a letter arrived saying they had
analysed to computer and found that it was a faulty
connection...they'd never had the problem with any other car..lucky
me!

So far the X looks pretty solid. I'm reading the forums every day and
very few owners are having problems. That's even more impressive since
many have tuned the engine up to 370 WHP or higher.

You are so full of CRAP. You need to get off the Information Super Highway
and try a real road trip.
