So I finally talked my husband out of his Mustang Saleen to go to an import. Let me say after driving the EVO, it didn't take much! The car handles amazingly well. We were torn between the Subaru WRX STI and the Evo. After driving the Subaru, we felt a bit "lost" with the six speed. I would agree that this car having a sixth gear would not be a bad idea. I also say that these "all over the board" quarter mile times that they are reporting are completely inaccurate for the car. Haven't has the chance to romp on it yet as it only has 200 miles. For our first Mitsubishi, we are definitely NOT disappointed!

Well, this isn't your normal Lancer. Owned this car for 1 year and had no problem but the clutch... I don't even drive hard or launch the car, but around 12k I had to change out the clutch. I ended up getting aftermarket clutch and new flywheel because of the warp. Beside that I enjoy the car and the fun that comes with it. I joined a local car club and ended up mod a bit out of the car... Gas stinks, but it is a 2.0 pushing out near 300hp on a 3k pound car... Love it... Interior is so so if you got the base model, but an EVO is made for driving not luxury.
STi to EVO

I went from a 2008 STi to the 2010 EVO X. STi had a much more pleasant interior, however the seats in the X are amazing. SSS package is a must, and is well worth it. The biggest complaint is overall build quality compared to the STi and the lack of space. Buttons feel cheaper, seating position is not great, even though the seats are amazing. You cant go wrong with either car, but if you want the closest thing to the X you would need to buy a 2011 STi, as 08-2010 don't compare. Paint quality seems to be better then the Subaru, along with less turbo lag (even though its .5 L smaller motor). Probably the biggest difference is fuel economy. The 5 spd is to short and gets 8mpg less the STi got.

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.
