Also, keep in mind that the x was built as the more mature version of the ix, mistu could have easily developed another car that DOMINATES all in sheer performance the way the ix's did and still do (race a ix you'll be annihilated) but they created a monumentally advance handling vehicle, that is more environmentally friendly and technologically advanced with its aluminum engine and s-awc, and nav system. Much nicer interior although still plastic, seats in the x are untouchable (so nice).
That guys review didn't make any sense any way. He complained about the Evo having too stiff of a suspension for DD and yet he goes on to say that he replaced the stock suspension of the 135 to make it more comparable to the Evo.

Then he goes on to complain about a blind spot saying it almost caused an accident even though he openly admits to not "really pay attention when changing lanes".

Evo's are know to have "notchy" trannies and "low" gearing as well.
