The EVO comes with the superior brembo brakes, has a quicker 0-60 time and 1/4 mile time and was voted best handling car under 40k. Just because you've never owned one does not make them inferior in any way...you sound very biased. Ive driven the 370 z, my friend owns one by the way. Nice car but I value the room of my 4 door EVO, the AWD/all weather capability, excellent braking, handling, and thrust/torque 300ft/lbs.
To each his own...Id own a Z if my needs and wants were different.
that's not the point for me. i dont value a practical all weather 4 door sedan to a 2 door sportscar that has only 2 purposes...which is only to drive and have fun with it visually. ive not had any issues with the oil temps.

'sedans' are boring anyway in my book as the formfactor is just too general. it's not really good at anything like an all-season tire. i only own hatches (for utility) and coupes for driving/styling. in that sense mustang and STI-hatch would be a better choice vs Evo as it has more commitment to wat it is.

Evo's are great for those that like the Evo's.
