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.

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!!!

I thought this car was amazing, but it has a ton of turbo lag. It handles like charm in the twisties, but in a straight line, it falls on its face at the top end. I have been seen Cobra, STi, Camaro SS, and even lowly SRT-4 models that are faster. Don't get me wrong this car is awesome for what it made for---rally; it turns like it's on rails.
