That is "almost" a review. I love these lazy reviewers who will not get off thier dead butts to actually write an original report.
As far as I can tell, every single pro and con is a rehash or assumption based upon the official press release from MMC. What a waste of band width.

Almost seats 4.........yet I believe I read somewhere that it has more interior space than an Impreza WRX and I've seen 5 full grown adults sqeeze in one of those! 
had to also throw in that 4 of them guys 6' or taller and one female.

will the rates be just as much as a WRX?
hey i won't wreck my car
I'm 18, and I have become very mature at driving, unlike some others i know that are my age. i've been prepping myself for the evo, such as driving the wheel with both hands since the evo will have a quick steering ratio, finding turbo timers, clearing up space in the garage for my evo, etc.

My guess would be that anyone under the age of 28, or with any kind of driving record will be payin extraordinary amounts for insurance ... more than you can imagine.

Well, I haven't been in any wrecks (thank God), and have gotten two tickets. However, the first one got revoked because of some error on the ticket, and the second one, I'm going to defensive driving for that. Would it still be high for me? I'm paying for this car right outta my pocket.

Yes. it'll be high. You can bet on it being higher than the Wrx. The Evo is a more expensive car than the Wrx...and I'm pretty sure it'll sustain a higher $$ amount of damage in a frontal crash (one reason is intercooler). Parts will also be more expensive. I don't even want to guess how much it would cost to replace those aluminum fenders, hood, etc. Some insurance companies may even refuse to insure younger drivers.
