The Evo Moves In, the Ex Moves Out, Our Cat Loses One Life

摘要

ALTHOUGH THE TENSION WITHIN OUR stable is growing - we do have a Subaru WRX STI here after all - the EVO MR has slotted in and has been playing nicely for the most part. Like a best friend who's moved in for the first time, certain attributes begin to surface and it's important to come to an understanding with them. For instance, at full bore the MR's dual-clutch transmission performs to your liking at a clairvoyant level, but in rare instances -such as bumper-to-bumper traffic on an incline - we yearn for manual clutch control to put an end to the computer's confusion. Cargo space has also for the first time become a small issue - pun intended - especially when carrying longer items like skis or snowboards, since the Evo sacrifices the convenience of a pass-through for greater chassis rigidity.
