I just sold the E90 M3...I don't think you get anymore DD than that in this market.

Doubt it. I'm borderline obsessed with efficiency and that means light weight. That won't change.

Larger != better
You don't need larger to be comfortable, unless your a fatass lard butt.

Sheit... My galaxie is huge and it's the fucking best car around.

7/30/2013 7:37:10 PM

^^ even a tiny asian is going to be more comfortable in an f10 5 series than an Evo

7/30/2013 9:14:21 PM

Perhaps. If that tiny asian can see over the dash!

My mom can barely get her feet on the clutch in my dad's Tacoma!!!

What about small, lightweight cars designed for things we do?

Slight tangent from that, but I'll take a coupe any day over a mid-sized sedan. And you know why? Because when I adjust the seat to be comfortable in a 4 door sedan my torso and head are even with the B pillar. That hurts peripheral visibility and also makes the door mounted armrest unusable. Blows my mind that a 3800lb 4 door sedan isn't designed to properly accommodate a 6' tall (or higher) person.

Meanwhile my BRZ has nice large doors (thus the B pillar is far back, behind me even with the seat in its furthest back position) and plenty of leg room, more than I even need actually.

(I'm 6'1.5" tall)

I'm 6'4" and I do not have the problems you speak of.

lol

Maybe I have long legs and a short torso? Cars off the top of my head that I noticed this problem with: 2013 WRX, 2008 Volvo V70 wagon, 2013 BMW 328i, 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I own a Subaru BRZ. Pretty clear this car is designed for things I do.

have cheap plastic interior, a loud cabin, and tiny tires?

7/31/2013 1:05:41 PM

The interior is just fine. Trust me it's not like the shitty interior you would find in an Impreza, WRX or STI. It is significantly quieter than my S2000 was. And it's 215/45R17 tires suit a 2700lb coupe just fine. Lots of grip and I can replace the set for $600.

It suits me well b/c it is one of the most fun cars to buy on the market today, thanks to it's light weight, low center of gravity and resultant handling chops. It's light weight also means track day expenses are kept low. And while it's a sports car, I'm still averaging 29 mpg (overall) since buying it January 31st.

Just test drove a MR.

If the market wasn't so retarded I would probably buy one. Probably maybe...

Evo is a mini transverse gtr.

I don't know, my IX didn't have any active yaw shit or traction control, and it was an absolute trip to drive.

8/1/2013 11:26:57 PM

I would agree that Mitsubishi did a better job letting fun through. That motherfucker is the most tossible thing ever and it just makes you think how the hell did they change physics???
