My Husband Bought me a New Evolution X, What do I need to know?
So this week my husband decided to get me a new Evolution X. Its the SE Evolution. What do I need to know about this car? Any personal experiences good and bad? I added a picture hopefully you can see it. Also is there anything I need to be careful with? I know these seem like dumb questions but I have never driven a car like this before.

Thanks I'm getting used to it. It seems like the car downshifts so violently? I've never had a car that has done that before, its weird, or maybe I am weird idk.

This car is an animal, be careful.
One fun trick is to put it in S-Sport mode and stomp on the gas, let's us know how that goes for you! Just be prepared, give yourself some straight road and make sure no one is around!

My wife has an Evo X too. Things to know...hmmm. It's one of the safest cars on the road. Always use premium gas (93 octane), no exceptions. Don't drive the stock tires in winter weather, even if the snow is light. The front bumper is low, so don't pull too far into parking spaces with curbs. Gas mileage varies widely depending on how hard you push the car, due to the turbo. Finally, the car can be made a lot faster with just a simple reprogram of the computer.

Everyone is saying you must have a great husband to buy you a X. But I say you must be a great wife to deserve a car like that. I had my wife buy my civic si so I could go buy my evo. Read and ask questions as much as you can. Be safe and enjoy
