The Best Stock Sport Sedan Available

This is one sport sedan which does not compromise it's performance in any area in an attempt to appeal to average Joe. This is one sport sedan which will be forever appreciated by those who know HOW to drive and LOVE to drive. Forget those reviews which say this is not for long distance, I drive regularly between my two homes in NC and MA and this is definitely my vehicle of choice. If you like to be isolated from the road, talk on your cell phone while you drive and have more attention on getting to your destination than having fun getting there, this is not the car for you. No automatics available here. (I also drive an 18 wheeler and own a Honda Civic and Odyssey).
most fun car to drive period.

I sold my 2005 Pontiac GTO and bought this and it blows the GTO away! I just purchased Buschur racing stage 1 and 2 and hope to have the car run in the low 12's. If you want after market parts the sky is the limit for this car. Great handling in the rain. Most fun car to drive period.

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.
Unbelievable

This car is unbelievable (and underrated). To be fair I test drove a few cars (The STi, TL, Boxster, Cayman and my friend's M3). Out of all the cars, this car just blew me away. This is an enthusiast's dream. True it has a bare bones interior but who needs a stereo when you have 285 horses buzzing? Some have said that the 5-speed isn't as smooth as Honda's but it feels much firmer and won't feel like it'll snap off during power shifts. This car won't get girl's attention until you smoke their boyfriend's Porsche. If you want attention, buy an overpriced convertible, if you want performance buy an Evo. BMW's lying..THIS is the ultimate driving machine!
Fun, but Mitsubishi Does Not Back Up Its Products

The Lancer Evolution is a fun car! However, Mitsubishi has problems with the synchros in the shifter. I could smell the clutch from this problem. Mitsubishi will not back their product. I had to pay to replace all of this at 3,000 miles. Mitsubishi knows about this problem. There are lots of articles out there about this, if you do a little research. By the time I did my research it was to late, I already bought the car. They give you this big warranty and look for reasons not to back their product.
