Honestly, it was a comfortable multi-thousand mile trip. I've also taken my friends '06 STI to the Dragon, which is 600 miles one way. These cars are high performers but are not uncomfortable unless you're a wuss.Obviously you feel the Evo is more harsh than I do....I apparently have a higher threshold than most. I will give you that the RS is "more raw" than the GSR or MR's. I define raw as loud, harsh, rough, transient, and unflexing. A stock Evo, even the RS, doesn't touch most of those unless your reference is a Cadillac DTS.

My Gti is by far much more comfortable on long trips then my Evo. It may be fine for you but most people in the Evo community agree that it's harsh on long trips. Oh, and it's a lot more "raw" as well. :tongue:
