Evo X to 370Z... Who's made the jump?

i have to disagree... but i must add, it helps my dad's next door neighbor is the service manager at my local dealership

never had a single issue with them. It all depends on the dealership itself, not the make.

When i had my cobalt and had bolt ons + meth and suspension done, it was still screwing up and dispite half of the mods causing issues, they still used my warrenty and gave me no issues. But i went to another chevy dealership to get my reverse lights checked out cuz the switch box was broken, so the lights wouldnt come on when i went into reverse. They said my warrenty was voided cuz at the time i only had a cold air intake installed.

Never had issues with the dodge dealership (besides the retard not know how to run the dyno) tried telling me the reason why my srt-10 ram only made 250hp and 435trq both numbers at 3500rpm is cuz i need taller gears. I didnt know you need different gears to run on a dyno......

But so far both mitsubishi dealerships i been to are horrible (owned by the same guy) the third dealership in the city is apparnetly better from what my buddies told me. I should have went there instead...lol.

I highly disagree. Nissan > Mitsubishi

We have the best of both worlds, does that mean we're lucky?

I've owned both the Evo X and currently am in an Evo 8. The 8 is a raw car. It was seriously designed to do one thing and one thing only, perform well. The interior is a crap design, rattles, and is made out of the same crap that a base lancer has. My 8 has SSL which includes leather recaro's, a sunroof, infinity sound system, and adjustable headlights. While those extra's are nice to have, its still not put together well and feels cheap. The leather is more than likely pleather and you can tell pretty easily. On the other hand, my car goes like hell. I have bolt-ons and a small turbo upgrade, 10% more airflow than stock, and it runs 11.7~8's on pumpgas trapping in the high teens. It brakes well and corners really good. But, thats it. It looks like a cheap car and drives like a cheap car. I'm getting older now and cars like this are not worth it anymore. I'm glad its getting traded in for a 370.

The X on the other hand is MUCH better than the 8/9's. It does everything better except drag racing. They look better, run smoother, and have more technology. On paper, the Evo X is probably one of the best designed cars out there. However, and typical of mitsubishi, on paper only means so much. They still cheaped out on the raw materials to build the car, designed the interior around commuter cars, and pretty much don't give you any support. I personally can't complain, but I know of and have read wayy too many dealer horror stories

I'm picking up my 370Z on Monday. I'll make sure to post a thurough comparison.
