i've driven my friend's evo x. the car is 6" taller and u do sit noticeably higher in the evo. given, it is a rally car. the evo x is obviously a much more practical choice for city life with the back seats and awd. personally, i didn't find it suitable to what i like as stock for stock, the body roll is noticeably more pronounced on higher speed turns and i don't feel as much road feedback as in the z. the z just feels much more raw and just feels like a road hugging sports car. the gearbox is loose in the evo whereas the z (i have a short shifter) is much much more tight and notchy. the clutch is much more forgiving in the evo as well. my friend in evo stalled 5 times trying to get my z rolling, given he's been driving stick for less than 6 months.
personal preference my friend
