Lateral Gs mean jack. It's all about the tires. Handling is a very different thing from lateral grip. The Evo is an awesome car, there is nothing wrong with it. BUT, Mitsu is in a bad way, and has lousy service. They lied about defect to not do recalls. If there was no STi, then the Evo would be great: but the STi is damn close to the same thing, but from a reliable manufacturer. It's not the CAR's reliability I'm concerned about, I'm worried about the maufacturer's ability and willingness to fix things that do go wrong. I see nothing about the Evo that makes it any better than the STi, and certainly not enough better to justify the higher price and take the risk of buying from a company on very shaky ground.
