I would take a Lancer Evolution over an IS250 any day of the week. It's the same as those people who complain about the interior on the Corvette.

The only redeeming thing about the Evo interior is the recaro seats which were were extremely supportive and could no doubt hold you in under high speed cornering.

As a canadian though, the pricing on the Evo is absolutely ridiculous. The GSR model is starting at 48 grand, which actually makes it more expensive than an IS350. I don't know how anyone in their right mind could go for an Evo over a 350, considering how much more you get with the lexus, even just between the base models.
that's mitsubishi for you....aren't they still in bed w/chrysler (also known for crap interiors)?

I dont know about the evo10 but the evo9 is a nice car and a fast street car when u put some mods in it like what i had. I guess after 4 years of having two evos it was time to get a little more luxury, but i dont think i would get a 250 over a evo

Again, I'll repeat what has already been said 100x. Get the 350 if you can. Why not have both? Luxury + power? It's a no brainer!

ROLL in style and class is the only way. Best choice is luxury/sport perfect combo

the IS is a nicer car but after driving my is250 for the last 5 months. im bored of driving it. its boring to drive and slowwwwwwwwww. i use to daily my 505 whp civic around town. sure it was fast and handled like a beast but it wasnt comfortable. if the IS handled better with more power, than it would be awesome.
