One of the best performance cars!

I had this car for 1 year now and still love the drive feel of the car. One of the best performance cars I ever driven. Exterior looks stunning. Handling is fantastic. Not so good on the gas mileage, especially with small tank (means need to fill up more often), but looking performance wise not too bad. Need better quality interior for the price of the car. As for reliability, need to do something for the stone chips problems.

Great sports car, but be ready to make some compromises.This thing is a blast to drive. Most fun car I have owned. Just like the last review, I had to replace windshield at 800 miles. BUY the clear 3m paint guard, especially front, and rear rocker in front of rear wheel. Great stock stereo, but no steering wheel control, seats are great, if you fit their ideal size, because they hardly adjust, plus the material is cheap, and wears quick. This isn't my only car, so it fits me perfectly. Personally I could use it as a daily driver. Just be prepared to pay extra for its performance in little items, like tires, windshields, upgrades, you will want to tune. Highly recommended.

BYE BYE MUSTANG!

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!

Lancer Evolution

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.
