EVOs are sweet but if you want ride comfort than look elsewhere. They are an ethusiaists car which means they handle awesome and give excellent feedback while driving the car hard.

The Stang you drove must have been fucked up if you think it was as slow as your stock 1G. They have double the stock HP and are RWD. Should have been way way faster even though it was a vert.

Get an EVO, it will be as easy to work on as your DSM. Modding it or fixing it should not be much of a transition.

Thanks for everyone's input.....!

Found this local, time for another test drive!

Kline won't let you test drive that car till you buy it

Fact is, good luck getting any Mitsu deal to give you the keys to any EVO on the lot.

I'm pretty sure you'd need to have financing approved and be one signature away from buying the car before they think about handing the keys over.

Also when Nash and I went to Kline I noticed the MR had a sticker price of 10K over the MSRP due to "Fair Market Value" They qucikly dropped the price down when they knew the 2 of us where no where near that stupid even though they claim just just sold one the week before for that adjusted price.

Kline sucks...never buy from them...once they earned your business they will f#ck you anyway they can...

Yeah I argued with him on the test drive, he finally gave in, but it will be the last thing before I pay for the car.

I'm going to check out another Cobra, a vette and an Sti before I buy anything.

Mitsu dealerships need to stop thinking the EVO is a rare exotic and can't be test-driven. Every other dealership realizes this when they are used and freely allow test-drives. Also, other car manufactuers freely allow you to drive one of their cars in the same price bracket as the EVO.

MR's are pretty limited, I don't think they want to waste them during test drives. It makes sense.

Yeah maybe I guess, but there is no reason why they can't let the regular EVO's be test-driven. I can understand it if 4 high schoolers show up asking for a drive, but not when its a middle-aged man or a younger more "professional" looking person.

Sorry but I'll NEVER buy a car unless I can drive it first, PERIOD.

I'm just 'funny' that way, <like 99% of all sane people are>

Exactly. Sure, you may know that it handles and what not in a supreme way, but what if you don't like the way it does all those things. Every car like an Evo or what not handles or drives or whatever in a different manner. Just because the car is awesome, doesn't mean it's for everyone interested in something along those lines. You gotta be able to test drive what you're buying.

Honda is doing the same with the SI..can't test drive...

Just don't shit from Kline..

I had acouple of bad things from them....

Last time I bought a car from them with expired tabs...I had 2months worth of run around about my sticker/tabs...everytime I stopped or called in for it...they kept telling me to come back next week..Finally the fuckers told me that the tabs were never included/added in the paper work and I would have to go buy them myself...I told them why didn't they tell me this in the first place rather then wasted my time...

AJ · 05-11-2006

BMW did the same with the Mini's. The fact is a very large percent of thest cars that are in our market get beat to shit and the dealers weed out anyone not serious but ot allowing random drives. They must figure the loss of 2 sales a month is better than the time and money spent fixing brand new cars and having their value drop 3 fold before it has it's first owner. The mini dealership at southdale had 4 Minis totaled out in less than a month by test drivers.

CDeutsch · 05-11-2006

I wouldn't have bought my MR if it had more then 10 miles on it. Luckily for me Brookdale doesn't allow test drives either until like was mentioned "you're one signature away".

So if they would have let even two "self proclaimed" serious buyers take a test drive they would have lost a sale to a "real" serious buyer.

I'll let you test drive mine Howie.

I agree with you, but I also agree with the dealer policy.

Cool, If your serious, that would really help me decide???

How do you REALLY like your MR on a scale of 1 to 10?

What's the good, and whats the Bad?

I may drive the MR LAST, and the Vette and Sti beforehand.
