While that huge wing on the back was a little over the top for me at first, this car has the excellent (if firm) suspension I was looking for. This is one of the easiest cars to drive quickly I have ever owned, and when the twin turbos kick in - it has a wonderful "kick in the pants" that makes me smile everytime. Glad Mitsubishi finally decided to bring this one to the states after many years of waiting. I highly recommend this one For Drivers Only.

Evo

The Evo is one hell of a ride! Its ride is a bit uncomfortable and there is a bit of road noise but it's always fun to hear the engine roar. It has easily beaten my former Subaru STI sedan and now I can't find a car to match the Evo. The only ones I can think of are a BMW or a Mercedes or a Lotus which all cost about 30,000 more than this little baby. It's four cylinders provide the kind of power I would compare to a V8. Overall it's awesome. This little Evo is going to be my baby for a real long time

My 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution runs great, even better on curvy roads. This is truly a comfortable performance ride. I have leather interior racing seats. They really do make a difference in the look of the vehicle. If the back end gets loose trust the limited slip and the four wheel drive to take you through a turn. In plain english, its fun.

Evo VIII - It GOES!

Got my '05 Evo, and boy am I glad! I've had it now for 4 months. It starts beautifully, looks great and performs like a supercar (Too bad that Mitsubishi is not doing well). The acceleration is slow at 2k/rpm, then at 3k/rpm the turbo cooks and there is an incredible surge of power, which is manageable and easily modulated. When all else fails the Brembo brakes are there to slow you down, in combination with the ABS, in a quick way. The transmission "snicks" its way through the gates; the engine urges you on; the brakes back you up; the chassis is stiff and inspires confidence--more technical features that work together wonderfully.
