What a Blast!
I have had the Evo MR for a month and have put 1,000 miles on it, and I can tell you that you have to drive this car to believe it. I took it up to the mountains last weekend, and hit the curves hard. Thrilling is all I can say. I have driven some fast cars in my time, but this is the best mix of speed and handling that I have ever experienced. It also snowed six inches and I got to switch the all wheel drive center differential to the snow setting and the car performed beautifully. What was interesting is that I drove very hard on the way up and used a tank and a quarter of gas, but on the way down I drove conservatively and used less than a half tank! That turbo burns the gas! Great Car!
Bang 4 the $$$
Bought the car not knowing much about it, my 16yr old raved about it so I bought it. I don't regret it. Nothing you can't pass on any road, more looks & compliments than my friends C4 turbo rag top, handles like a slot car and very much Harleyesque in that there are more websites for after market goodies to really personalize it (Examples: Carbon fiber, gauges, pods, exhaust, tricks etc.)The orginal quality build is very good, but its fun making it better. The engine is bullit proof, the transmission is good but can use improvement (stronger clutch). I think it a much better looker than the STI & much rarer to find on the street. Finally my dealer support is second to none.
Amazing Machine
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR is a complete machine. It is everything any driver ever wanted in a vehicle.
