Default Evo x ?

Don't worry guys its not a replacement for my beloved CSL.

I was thinking of changing my daily '11 E90 320d M Sport to an Mitsu EVO X. I have been a fan of EVO's since I first laid my eyes on a TME EVO VI back in the day. Although daily routines and horrific traffic of Istanbul keeps me away from manual cars for daily use. Not to mention the Max Power crowd that comes with them.
While looking for replacements to the E90, I realized EVO X is the only fast auto car in my price range. So, It will have to be an Auto. I am not doing any major mileage as when I fist bought the diesel E90 so I may indulge myself with mildly unsensible choice such as this.

What do you guys think ? Would it make a good daily ? Anyone with real world experience with these ? Pros and cons ?

Thanks,

I had a Evo 7 for a while as a daily. Brilliant car, super capable. Tiny fuel tank.

7 were cool too. Much nicer looking then 8 and 9 actually.
They say 10 is an altogether different thing. Both in terms of tech and feel.

Although I hear fuel consumption is sky high ?

That's the norm with these cars Can as they weren't build/designed with fuel economy in mind

Both great cars but Auto Trans is a must for daily I'm afraid.

Of course but I hear EVO X is espacially high for some reason even from the previous EVO's.
