guys thanks for the info.

Good choice! You won't regret it. Good luck with your purchase!

I know you seem to have already made a choice but one thing that seems to be frequently overlooked before buying is the size of the gas tank. Evos have around 11-13 gallon tank, that is teeny tiny for a car that's thirsty! Despite the fuel pump issue some have when tracking the car the 370 has a 19 gallon tank which is fantastic in my opinion. I do not have to go to a gas station every couple of days. I fill up once every two weeks on average.

True but the point that I didn't spell out is that if you're traveling somewhere you don't have to stop for gas every other hour. The 370 on open highway gets pretty good gas mileage for what it is. My trips between MD and SC I can average 28 mpg, my daily driving to and from work I get about 17.

I usually get about 400-450 Miles each tank. Thats Scottsdale to Los Angeles and still have a dot or two left.

I have the 40th with Sports, Touring and NAV

I love the options that come along with it although many do not think the BOSE system is up to par, I love my music but it seems to be sufficient for me, the sub in the back has some kick. The NAV is also slick with some cool car monitoring features.

I think if I had the Base I'd want the bigger brakes and nicer wheels but its all about what you can live with and need.

The 370 is definitely sporty and turns heads, and less on the road than the EVO, which I like.

I store mine in the winter which sucks but I drive it pretty much every day I can unless its really crappy out. I take my old Forester or steal the wife's X5
