      Hammond and Clarkson are the reason I consider the LF-A to be the best car ever. Haven't ever driven it (and probably never will) but their scrunched faces every time they hit the throttle tells me everything I need to know.

    I've owned an Evo IX for 6 years, and despite driving cars like the M3, GTR, 458, 911 turbo, Viper GTS, Panamera turbo, 5.0 POS mustang etc, I have never found a better car where you can feel the road through your arse and the drivers wheel and drive it on the limit with as much pleasure as the Evo. The only thing comparable to a crisp 4cyl, spooling turbo, and blow off valve (in my opinion) was the 458 with the symphony behind your head.
    Yes the interior is plastic, yes i've spent an ungodly amount of money on mods, yes the turbo takes the better part of a decade to reach full load if you're at low rev, but walking out to it as a daily driver makes you smile every time you let off the pedal and let the BOV flutter. I cycle through cars faster than my grandma uses colostemy bags, but this car is the shit, and its the only car I can confidently say I will never sell.
    Three year update since comment = 152k miles at 400whp on stock block, no issue but the fuel pump. (purchased for 17k in 2010)
    Four year update since comment = 159k miles - detuned to 340whp on stock block. Eventually I'll rebuild, but still hasn't blown!!! 10 years, going strong but with a conservative map
