Anyhow, I did not see the "fun" in driving it, plus the interior had a sedan-ish feel to it not like I was in a sportscar but in a cheap sedan. I did like the recaro seats and the torque wasn't unlike anything I haven't felt before in other cars but it definitely pulls much harder than the 8. The car just didn't have a good overall feel to it imo. My 8 may not be the fastest car on the road but when I drive her she feels like I'm in a sportscar. I guess that is what Mazda is good at...soul of a sportscar.

Just my .02

Thats the thing, an evo is not a sports car. Nor is it advertised to be or try to be. It's a track car. Rally car at heart, but set up more for a track. It is what it is, a souped up econo sedan, designed for all out performance. Yo can't expect it to have a great interior, it never has. People don't buys these cars for interior quality. It feels like a sedan because it is a sedan.
