    pics you shall receive : ) once i get some free time. the evo x was honestly the biggest disappointment of a car i have ever been in. fast, sure, but its built worse than dysfunctional cardboard box.

    Welcome!
    What were some of the problems you had with the Evo X? Or just poor quality overall? I have always liked Evo 8 and 9s but seem to hear only bad things about the X.

    poor quality overall. the transmission was pathetic, it would take 25 minutes for it to warm up so you could actually shift somewhat smoothly. but in general the transmission was notchy, clunky and real hard to shift with any sort of swiftness. the interior was rattle central, the buttons and dials felt cheap. the car always felt like it was about to break. feels amazing to be back in a subaru.

    the evo 8's and 9's are a little better, but they aren't much better than the x, my friend has a 9 and its the same way. the car just feels fragile and cheap. the engines are good, but thats it.
