I had a 14' Evo X MR for about a year. I do miss it sometimes.
It was a great car in regards to it's power train. The only big issue there was the SST overheated.. even on mountain runs, almost instantly on track.
There are aftermarket coolers, but that's $1500 that shouldn't be needed on an already very expensive car.

I ended up selling it due to the expense (was chomping at Porsche territory there), horrible fuel economy + tiny gas tank, less storage than the twins in the trunk, and it was eating through tires and brakes like you wouldn't believe haha.

Ended up back in a BRZ and am going to be staying with it for a very long time. I may get an older WRX for a daily down the road.
