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.
Evolution:n ot a car...it's an experience
For the automotive enthusiast, the Lancer Evolution 8 is not just a car, it's an experience. The ultimate expression of the passion and pleasure of driving can be found in one, 4-door sedan sold by Mitsubishi Motors and that vehicle is the Evo. The Evo is the vehicle other vehicles would want to be if they had a hand in their design. It's truly an amazing machine for those who can appreciate it's nuances...definately not a machine for the timid. Get in it and DRIVE!!!

Its an Evolution, what more can you say.
This car has to be driven to aknowledge the capabilties of this ultra-high performance sedan. One cannot simply put into words how excellent this very potent machine performs. I just simply cannot get rid of this pathetic smile on my face. -Now buckle up, you're probably in for the ride of your life.
2005 better than 2003!
We purchased a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII in March 2004 and decided to trade it in for a more "practical" daily driver 8 months later: an Acura RSX-S. Though the Acura is an all around great car, we missed the turbo charged, AWD Evo and went back to it. The overall purchasing process was not bad. We purchased from the same sales rep, and dealership both times. The Mitsubishi "special financing" was a joke! Buyer beware: purchasing an Evo includes Yokohama tires that are not winter-friendly. The odd tire size puts snow tires anywhere from $150 - $200 each. Overall this is a GREAT CAR - even as a "family sedan." We couldn't be happier the second time around :). It's comfortable for business or family, fast, and handles like a brick.

A good for the price vs performance.
