So I got sick of my Honda, bought a new car ;)
That's right, I'm done with my hatch and currently trying to sell it. I wanted something a little more comfortable to drive to work and cruise around in, but something that was still semi-quick with good torque lol. So, to solve for X and Y I went and bought an Evo 
Bought it used (obviously) and it's only the 2003 model which means it's heavier and slower, but it also means it does have a sunroof. Sounds pretty gay, but this is the first car I've ever owned with one and I kinda like it. By no means is it the fastest car I've ever had and I'd have to say probably all of my Honda boost builds were faster, but at the same time it's also more reliable than my Honda's were and from my research looks like an awesome platform to build off of if I ever decide to do so in the future. Unbelievable handling, turn in is phenomenal and honestly I don't think there is any Honda I've ever owned/driven that would come close to touching this thing through the twisties.

Good luck with the more reliability on the EVO. Out of the handful of EVO owners that I've known, they all have had one problem or another when they were stock except for two. One of those two was an MR
Nice car none the less!

Do yourself a big favor, and leave it stock. Clutch jobs suck *** on that car, weak t-cases, rod bolts stretch before 450 horse... I would never own an evo, but I deffinatley enjoy driving the ones that run alot. Your not gonna find another stock car that handles like that for the price

Re: So I got sick of my Honda, bought a new car ;)
one of my friends have a evo, and he seems to change clutches every year, but its way better than a sti in my eyes, and a great stock boosted car. but my project will always be honda.
good choice though.
