2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

I've had 3 Evo's, and this one is the most daily driver friendly yet. The 5 speed is notchy when cold, but otherwise the car performs well. The handling is truly the best thing about the car. The steering is telepathic, and the brakes are excellent. Power is fair, but the second factory reflash helped smooth things out and helped the upper rpm range. I fixed a rattle in the glovebox, other than that the interior is quiet. Tire noise is high, but the upgraded satellite radio/audio system is superb. Aftermarket parts and tuning solve the power issues quickly and easily.
Good, but wait for the prices to go down

These cars are good, but not worth the premium over the GSR's. These cars are overpriced in my opinion. They are great fun, handle well, good power, and the AWD system is tops. The interior is just so so, the comfort is bad but it is not a cruiser, and the power is good but not great. I am sure in the next year we'll see all the tuner parts come out hen the fun will begin! If you have time, wait for the prices to come down.

I have had the pleasure of driving my new EVO X for the last 2 wks and it sure has been a blast. I Love the looks, handling, power and head turning it causes. Some just see a lancer, but those who really know, see it for what it truly is: one heck of a driving experience. I have owned BMW to RX8's and sedans/SUVs in between. It was a toss between the RX8 R3, 350Z, G37, MB or BMW. For the cost and driving fun I think it is a great value PLUS it seats 5 and I can take the kids and wife every blue moon to keep her content. I have not driven it hard (YET) due to its low mileage (got it with 50!) but can't wait to hit 1K miles. Interior is decent, not sure of the cloth arm rest. 21 again

After 1yr, still very happy with the purchase. Easily better than the STi which is more expensive. Did great through the winter. Always gets looks and continues to be fun to drive.
Happy buyer

I was worried about buyer remorse before I bought this car, but now that I have it, I'm glad I took the risk. I was planning to get a reasonable car, like an Acura or something, but figured you only live once, so I got the Evo. I have a perma-smile since I drove it off the lot. The few things I don't like, the driver seat is not very adjustable, the shifts into 2nd and 3rd are kind of clunky until the clutch warms up, the trunk is tiny (not big enough for golf clubs w/ sub, and no fold down seats for snowboard) and the road noise is loud on rough surfaces. The good, its sharp when you want it to be, and tame on your daily commute. All in all, not a bad daily driver, and fast.
