Evo X MR was the BEST handling car that I have ever experienced. Makes you feel like your a superhero behind the wheel. I have taken sharp corners, HARD on private roads at around 40-50mph.... Like a damn go-kart, just sticks and goes! Also had the best seats ever.

The Evo X MR had to be one of the STIFFEST riding cars, ever. It got old having the ride be that harsh. Made my 2015 STI feel like a luxury car compared to the Evo's ride.

What I hated? The SST, why? Because it bored me coming from manual WRX's, STI's, and a 135i. The transmission was a beast when tuned. My tuner tweaked the clamping force on the clutches so the shifts were brutally fast! However, with LC the launches still felt weak, 1st gear roll ons were insane though. Fun car, but felt gutless compared to my N54 135i and my F80 M3.

I HATE RWD sometimes... It gets frustrating putting all that torque down to the rear wheels. Anyone coming straight from an Evo, STI, Golf R, etc, will miss their AWD traction on cold, rainy, snowy days, and yes.. even on DRY days.

Don't forget, the M2 will have traction issues even on sunny, dry day in 1st-2nd gear and on hard launches. You'll never see those issues with AWD. Just something to think about.
