The Lancer Evo RS is a practical four-door sedan. It is not a boring four-door sedan. I wasn't expecting boredom, but I am continually amazed at how much fun the RS is to drive. If I pick the right gear, response is great. Its handling is beyond belief, especially on wet roads. I replaced the Yoko Advans with Eagle F1 GS-D3's at 22,000 miles. Turn-in isn't quite as sharp, but the Evo is now a little less frantic and somewhat more relaxed, with outstanding handling. The RS did not have a radio. I installed an Alpine CD player and rear speakers only. I've owned a series of MR 2's, a 1LE Z28 and an LT4 Corvette. They were all great cars, but the Evo is a step above.

This car is strictly business and is glued to the road. But if oversteer is provoked the car can be brought very controllable 4 wheel drift...what more can you ask for. The brake system is proportioned perfectly you can really modulate the brakes without the ABS trying to brake for you. I have only 2 complaints on this beast...Mitsubishi Motor Corp. does and will not warranty the clutch. And the other is it feels like it needs more sound insulation.
