Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Nearly perfect suspension tuning, loads of turbocharged power, direct steering, available stripper model makes it even more affordable.

Cons

Economy car interior, unforgiving highway ride.

What’s new

Leather seating is now an option as is an upgraded 315-watt Infinity sound system. A new, decontented RS model has been added this year for those who want maximum performance and nothing else. The Evo RS deletes ABS, air conditioning, the rear spoiler and power features such as locks and windows. Additionally, the RS boasts a helical limited-slip differential, added structural reinforcement in the trunk and less sound-deadening material.

Edmunds says

A fully equipped race car for under $30,000. If driving means more to you than anything else in the world, you'd be crazy not to consider the Evo.

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS 4dr Sport Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

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 …

Andrew Von Stroller, 10/21/2003

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS 4dr Sport Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

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 …
