2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Reviews

Performance is best you can get for the money. Best handling and most solid Evo yet.  Amazing tunability. If you look at this beast wrong she will gain 15whp. I Plan to keep her as civil as possible for now but in a few years she will turn into a track monster.

This car defines what you are able to do in a car. The Lancer evolution X is the 10th version of this model. When it was released it showed that mitsubishi had taken this evo to a more refined version wanting to get a bigger segment of the market and not just for harcore car addicts. I was a little skeptical of how redefined it would be and whether or not it would be worthy of the evolution badge. I spent about 7 months of research on this car usually during boring classes at u of c. Needless to say I wasn't expecting this much love for the car at that time as I have for it now.

In those 7 months of research I looked at many cars from the infiniti g37 to the bmw 335i. I test drove most of the cars I looked at and was pleasently surprised at how equally I liked them, yet how plain the drive was; all except one the lancer evolution x. I was not able to test drive it because it simply had not be built and released in North America. All I could do was watch countless videos of the car and think how it would drive.

7 months later and I was able to test drive the car finally. I instantly knew this was the car I wanted. Even though it doesn't have the BMW badge or the navigation system of the infiniti g37 it didn't matter.

This brings us to today, the car loves the ground especially because of the super all wheel control which combines the the active skid control and active yaw control to create a car that would make any idiot driving look like a race car driver. Just point where you want this car to go and it will go.

It's 300 HP turbocharged 2.0 liter engine also gives me the ability to do a lane change whenever I want ;)

There are however somethings I would not miss. One of them being the paint that Mitsubishi uses. The car comes stock with sticky tires that hug it to the road which makes rock chips a normal thing that often hits the rocker panel. The paint chips really easily and as a result I have had to 3m the rocker panel to keep it from looking like it a machine gun tore threw it. The interior is ok but definitively not bmw.

Overall though the cars performance definitely beats out its con's. This car is definitely something that everyone should test drive or ride in to understand what I have said.  

Is fast, looks awesome, and awesome sound system. What
more could you want in a performance car. That and you get
lots of mods if you really want. Unfortunately only UK gets FQ
400 which has more power than most V8s

it is too fast and have a good appearance:D and this car is
amazing and it is so solid and i love it so much so this is my
dream car :D it has aps too terrific: D lol

This car is awesome! Its a street rally car. Excellent steering and overall grip, potent turbocharged engine, long features list, available automated-clutch manual gearbox. Great for driving and drifting! No one complains about its handling, it's just every guy's dream car.
