S-AWC, period... If you're not showing the AYC on a daily basis, you should be in your mom's Accord. The car is ugly, heavy, has a gross new engine, and a lot of other nit picky mistakes I hate about it. Really the big deal is S-AWC and much better interior, that's it. In the end, its still made by Mitsubishi, and you still have to pay for a warranty when you buy it

i just come back from the factory re-flash... the car feels much more better and stronger.
I wonder how much more performance i got from the factory ecu flash.
So would be interesting the whole road test again after this reflash. The car was bugging etc before, but now its smooth.

make sure you got a reflash !!!! push them to do it. So you will have an "upgraded" X from the dealer.
Dont listen to them, tell them you will buy it if they reflash it! They have to put the service stickers under your hood so check it!

You will love it then . I was little confused before the flash, but after, you will know its an Evo.

Well I have an 8, If i had a 9, i probably wouldn't do it. Personally I like the looks as well in the new evo's especially here in VA, most of them are sold with the ground effects package. whewwwwwwwww loox nice.

And you paid for a Porsche badge. How's your 996? RMS OK? Pourus block? Any IMS bolt failure yet? And how about that interior taken from a 1970s Lada? How do you think Porsche handles warranties on modded vehicles? No different than Mitsu. Looks are subjective and it's amazing how an extra 200lbs makes a car suddenly become heavy. Gross engine? As in ugly? You being serious?
