2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution User Reviews

Great Enthusiast Vehicle To Own! — At a 43k plus sticker price it was a tough buy but you will definitely feel why once you drive it. Out of the box "race car" that can keep up with much higher priced track contenders! Much more refined than the last generations but if road noise and ride comfort is at the top of your list, then you may shy away from what this car has to offer!

Great Performance. Poor Luxury. Pay The Extra And Get The Mr Or Get An Sti —

Performance- The performance really was amazing. Perfect Handling, Great pick up. Lots of power. Very responsive. Great feel through the steering wheel. But if you got the 5 speed manual I hope you LOVE high RPMs on the highway or freeway. If you get a performance exhaust make sure it comes with ear plugs for these drives. Also when you first drive it, if you aren't truely use to cars like this without rev matching, be ready for the smell of clutch and the bounce of a dropped clutch pedal. Build quality- Very solid. Zero problems minus a burnt up O2 sensor (my own fault). And the tires last only about 12,000 miles before they start cupping and coming apart. Soft compound good for handling though. Appearance- The exterior was really amazing. I loved that it looked basic out of the corner of your eye, but when you notice the sporty hood and the raised spoiler you know there is something special about this car. The interior was the single cheapest and poorest quality interior I have ever been in. Everything looked and felt like cheap plastic. The Recaro Racing seats would come apart in places. ZERO literally ZERO basic luxuries for the base model which is absurd for a $34,000 car. Cost of Ownership- COSTLY. Poor gas mileage and the OEM Yokohamas dont last long. Fun Factor- Very Very fun on winding roads. It will surprise you how far you can push it. If you aren't used to power this car is quite the treat.

Does Everything And Does It Well. — Love everything about it, handles wonderful, has power to spare, easy to drive around town and at speed. Gas mileage could be better but will increase with a tune. No other car for the price range has the speed, features, and technology wrapped up in this attractive of a package. Great in snow and for hauling everyday stuff. Would definitely purchase again and again.

Awesome Car On Weekend, Waste As Daily Drive — Fast, good brakes without cop hassle...Build quality is ok, but need more considering the prize that you pay. Great appearance, with wide wheels 9.5" to 10.5" wide and fat tyres and performance lowered springs or coilovers you and awesome looking car. Great around corners, need more power. Very nice and fun to drive, ok as Daily drive but it would be a waste. Great track car.

Family Car Thats Sporty And Fun. — fun to drive and corner, after some basic mods you can feel a big difference in performance. this car can corner very well with the stock yokahama tires. very nice seats, dash layout wasnt designed well, really reminds me of a mazda 3 design.. after i put the exhaust on some rattling from the dash started... common in evo x's. doesnt really bother me because i cant hear it anyways when i have my stock 700watt rockford fosgate bumping lol. gas mileage is ok cant really complain about it. car is pretty pricey but i bought mine brand new from mitsu. but you only live once plus i needed a four door for the family...
