Things Bob hasn't told us
From Consumer reports October 2008 About the EVO:
Ride: stiff, Poor, noisy, "frenetic highway behavior" Steering: too light, oversteers, frenetic highway behavior Interior plastics are drab and cheap looking Seats do not adjust for height, ditto steering wheel Pedals too close together Driving position sucks 0 to 60: slower than the BMW, Subaru 1/4 mile: slower than the BMW and Subaru Turing circle: greater than BMW, Subaru, VW Avoid maneuver: slower than the BMW MPG: less than BMW, VW Interior fit and finish: poor Luggage: room for 1 suitcase Front shoulder room: 54.5 inches front leg room: 42 inches front head room: 6' 3" (Bob's head will get the pounding it deserves) Consumer Reports Rankings (Oct 2008) BMW 135i 97 Mazdaspeed3 90 Impreza WRX STi 89 Mazda RX-8 86 VW R#@ DSG 89 Lancer EVO GSR 83 -- jlrogers±³© "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
