I thought looks didn't matter to me. I mean, some of my favorite cars are butt-ugly to most people (Merkur, Alfa Milano, maybe even my Contour...). I really started looking at the Evo and the STi, but I couldn't get jazzed up about them. Then I figured out that for the same price, or less, I could get an RWD G35 Sedan with a 6-speed, sport suspension, and LSD. That car ignited automotive passions in me that I haven't felt for a new car since, well, 1995. Yeah, the mitsu and subie drivers would likely beat me at the track, but the rest of the year I'd have a more satisfying street car. Guess I'm getting older. Just wish I could get the "G" with less "stuff."
Bob Kulstad, you're the first reviewer I've ever read who called the Evo "comfortable."
