Just in case you could not make up your mind

I have been reading these boards for a year or more. Finally test drove an MR and thought it was one of the most spectacular rides I have had. Took it on hilly roads and just could not believe the composure.

I am in my early 50s and have owned lots of sports cars.

Drove my friends 335 and while great it was not raw or spectacular.

Drove my friends NISMO 370z and while great it was not quite spectacular.

Drove the GTR for 30 minutes- ok so it beats the EVO- there I said it but not in the handling category which I thought felt the same (now flame me).

Watch the video- how many cars (few- most cost 140K or more) do you see with ths kind of reviewer passion?

U guys are lucky to own an EVO.

Nice, coming for a man the age of my father, I think he also has the same mentality. He thinks Mitsubishi owners sold their soul to the Devil in order to get the plans to build the Evolution.

i watched that video over and over again before purchasing my car. Although they tested the gsr, I LOVE my MR... And yes, you're right on everything you said.

MR is a better daily driver and it runs great on tracks as well, whereas GSR responds better to mods and it's great on drag strip

I just took delivery of my 2010 Lancer Evolution MR Touring last week for many of the same reasons expressed as the OP; the video review I watched as a podcast and I loved it.

Oh I have pictures of it posted under the Official EVOX Apex silver thread under the EVO X show and shine' forum.

SO yeah, I would agree; I test drove a G37x, a Subaru, and all great cars for different reasons, but I loved the EVO MR T, even the excitement of the Ralliart over all the others I tested.
