1. More fun than anything else even close in price (except the STi)
2. With just a little money in mods (more than I told my wife though), it is a super car.
3. Makes me enjoy every drive I take.

Dislikes
1. Can always spend more money to make more power.
2. Sounds like a diesel sitting at the light with the AC on and the car in nuetral.

LIKES:

1. Motor Trend tested EVO RS at 0 - 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
2. It is COOL, compared to the STi, which is geeky.
3. It outperforms virtually anything that costs less than $50,000.

DISLIKES:

1. Don't buy it now, MR will be better (if you can find one).
2. Let's face it, it's ugly.
3. I don't own one.

Dislikes:
1. Tachometer and Speedometer are too small/are difficult to read
2. No cruise control (to keep me out of trouble on the highway)
3. Big wing/Short wing and no sunroof cars are near impossible to find (the big wing draws too much of the wrong kind of attention)
