I was VERY dissapointed with the interior styling of the EVO 8.
Seen better on an early 1980's model vehicle.
Very poor sound system ( El Cheapo )
Horrid uncomfortable Recaro seats, forget it if you have wide shoulders as you will end up like a hunch back!

Exterior- too plastic looking for my taste.

Not worth the price tag by any means.
I think the earlier models had a far better shape, but this still does not make up for the budget interior.

350Z kills 95% of cars on the road with pure interior and exterior style.

Yeah, it's very much Lancer, but from the driving seat it was pretty much 'right' for me. The seat was great, the steering wheel was great, the pedals were great and so was the gear-box. It actually surprised me how good the car felt from driving seat.

Still, it's incomparable from that point of view with sportscars of a true sense (ie. the clasic definition) like 911s, Boxsters, or even S2000.

I actually like those ... I would prefer to have them in the 350Z instead of what it comes with. For me, the 350Z seats are very average ... just not enought support/grip.

Not worth the price tag by any means.

Well, I'd say that people who buy it do so for the performance. Afterall, 13.5sec 400m, and 1:40.88 Winton lap-time are only matched by cars costing 2x as much.

So I'd say that 'performance' is all that EVO is about ... everything else is secondary.
