Thumbs down Test Drove The Mr

Today i went to Larry Roesch mitsubishi planing on trading in my evo 8 for the new mr. I went on the test drive and was not impressed at all. at first i thaught that the salse men was to scared to push the car but when i got in i noticed that the car really didint move the way evryone says they do. then i thaught maybe the car was messed up so i tested another one, same thing it felt so week and the ratios really sucked. while the salesmen was trying to convince me that the mr was faster than my evo 8 i gladly told him if he beat me in the car with the mr i would trade mine in and buy that one on the spot, after a while he agreed. the only things i have on my car is hks hi power exaust and an hks bov i whoped the **** out of him 3 times and finally was convinced that i would not bother. plus if u think about it the $7000 u save from an 8 to an mr can go into mods that will definatly make the car better performance wise. i would like to here your opinions on the mr and what u think about what ive just said.

Interesting they let you test drive two MR's, let alone one.

Also, we're supposed to believe that you and the salesman raced at the dealership? Regardless, I'm sure he couldn't launch it for ****...

Anyway, glad you've made yourself feel better about not having an MR.

I'm gunna have to pull the B.S card here.

You test drove TWO MR's and the sales guy even raced you??? I doubt it. Many dealerships won't let people test drive the MR's, and if they do, it's usually a single MR they have set aside.

And I don't think the sales guy raced you either. Sounds like a fishy post to me.

You guys that don't think the sales man would race think again. I know a few guys that would race just to sell the car. Remember they make commission. I'm not saying it's true, but I would believe it.

I would never trade in my Evo for an MR, but I would get one once my loan is paid off.
