So im gonna trade in my old evo to get a new 05 since there is that 0% financing crap and i was just wondering what ur guys's thoughts were about either staying with the cloth interior or going with the upgraded leather package with the stereo and sun/moonroof or w/e cuz its only gonna cost like 30 bucks more a month which is no big deal. What would u do and keep in mind i plan on making this a 10 sec. car within a year cuz i know the leather package weighs more. thanks

 

My friend has the cloth interior and I have the leather.. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

 

I will never own a car that doesn't have a moon roof.
I will never own another car that doesn't have HIDs.

Leather is hit or mis.....looks sharp new....and even though its leather you dont slide around in the recaro's.

The sounds system.....its superior to the regular system....but if you are a bass head you'll probably upgrade the system anyway.

For me.....I would have never purchased my 03 if it didn't come with HID's and Moon Roof.

Don't let people gripe about weight either....unless you are the best EVO driver on the planet you will never notice the weight difference. However when you get in the car with your date, open the moon roof to see the starts and flip on the head lights that TOTALLY ROCK ....you will notice the difference.

 

the leather seats are a lot nicer and you really dont slide around like some people will want to tell you. for me it came down to the sunroof which i love, and the headlights are great. i have yet to use my highbeams. the stereo is alright, def. better than the base system.

 

Go sit in one w/o the SSL, then go sit in one with it... youll get the leather...

 

i guess im weird, i preffer cloth, softer and breath :P (especially if you spend long periods of time in your seats), i'm indiferent about the sunroof but HID's are definately nice

 

Buy an OZ rally I tell you..... I beat an STI goin from baltimore to NY. STI beats me by like 15 car lengths to the point I can't see him... But in the end I won... I see his sry *** going to the gas station while I keep goin, and goin, and goin. Muwahahahaha

 

good old oz. i do miss the great gas mileage and cheaper gas.

 

The only reason why I don't like leather is because it's hot when I sit on them wearing shorts or a skirt in the summertime. I need like a towel or something to sit on temporarily lol.

 

doesnt the non ssl come with hids as well?

 

only 03/04 model evos come with stock hids

 

In my EVO with the cruise set at 75 I get 30MPG......well okay that is a lie....I dont have cruise and I only get 28MPG.......but I think that is pretty good.

 

What the hay, why not get the SSL. It's alot nicer inside.

.

 

yes its a lot nicer but is it really something i would need for such things as racing and doing a 10 sec 1/4 mile or out on a road race track? i cant imagine seeing to many cars out there with moonroofs

 

Then why are you considering it? I dont get it.
