X GSR review

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

I'm loving this car so far. It's a bit heavier than my IX was, but it makes up for it with a vastly superior chassis and substantially better handling potential. The fit and finish have been improved, the brakes are bigger (since the car is as well), the final drive is a bit shorter, and it now has Mivec on both cam gears with a chain driven system on the new 4B11. No more timing belt! Fueling is just pig rich stock. This car will wake up substantially when an aftermarket ECU solution becomes available to the general public.

I have had my MR for a month now, and it has been an amazing experience. The car has tons of power and is very responsive. The handling is outstanding; I am amazed at what this car can do on winding roads. The transmission in this car must be driven to be believed. In Sport mode, the shifting is crisp and firm. The downshifts are perfectly timed, and are done better then I can run a clutch after 20+ years of driving. The logic that controls the transmission is very well set up; I haven't even touched the paddle shifters. The car is always in the gear that I need.
Nothing in the price range to beat it...

Performance? Oh yeah.. I owned the Evo IX and this car to me is MUCH better. It still has the cheap interior, thin paint, and bad gas mileage, but the X is a MUCH more comfortable car overall. I'm not a big aftermarket guy, but a tune really goes a leap ahead of what is already an excellent car performance wise. The S-AWC makes the new safe Evo even more safe than it already is by letting you turn the car suddenly without it even batting an eye. Like others have said and will say a strong 6 speed manual would be nice, but I don't drive fast where I live... the speed limit is still 55 and with the tune and a bit of added timing I can get 24-26 on the highway.

This car is a wonderful driving car. The car handles excellently, and if it is tuned, can put out an exceptional 400hp. Drifting with this vehicle is harder being it is All Wheel Drive but otherwise is a very fun car. The new 2008 mustang gt puts out 300hp and is 1 1/2 times more heavy. Stock this car will smoke all the other cars for the same price. Great on gas, great reliability. The Subaru WRX STI is a great car as well although the latest models of this car are hatchback which is not preferred and do not do as well with handling.
Exceeds Expectations

My new Evo X GSR has blown me away, but before I get to why, I'll note what's wrong: needs 6th gear in manual, better clutch. At this pricepoint, I expect a few more interior luxuries. Sight, sound and spoiler should be stock. Also, why are the brakes not cross drilled, and why must they leave so much brake dust on my wheels? Highs: great stereo with sight, sound and spoiler. Comfort of drive is extremely high for a car that pulls a lateral G. Insanely fun to drive. Seriously stylish. Outruns anything in its class or the next one up. With Vishnu, HKS, K&N, and NOS, this car will be able to hit 600+ bhp. I believe I can get the 1/4 down to 10s.
