My roommate and I test drove it last week.

It was a short test drive, but the over all dynamics of the vehicle felt much better than the Evo he currently has. The car transitions very well, it felt like it was a lot lighter than the curb weight suggests.

Once again the interior is a disappointment. It seemed like this time the Mitsubishi designers (or the firm they contracted) copied the Mazda 3 interior, and copied it very poorly.

Nice job!! Thanks for the pics. For some reason...the rims are throwing it off for me...I think they should be a bit larger...not sure.
Styling wise I agree it definately needs larger rims, there's too much space between the tire and the fender. After market rims and a drop in the supspension would solve this.

The exterior looks unfinished as whitemistress2k stated. They should have painted the front and rear bumper instead of having them with that black primer look. That can be fixed with a trip to the body shop.

The interior for me is even worse it just looks plain for a car in its price range. The shifter area looks terrible.

Overall I give the styling of the car a 7.5 out of 10.

I am sure the car really shines in its performance and handling capabilites.

For that kind of money better come with navigation and better looking interior. It looks really cheap!

What I find interesting is in all the pictures of the Evo X VS. STI, the Evo has some gnarly body roll!

I loved the IX so much more.... Anyone catch the Top Gear episode where he was chasing a Lambo in the Euro-spec model? Sickness. Drifting with one finger.

I've saw two EVOX's so far but I haven't test drove one yet... Nor will I. I'm far more interested in it's hot hatch rival.
