Balanced Car

I have owned this car for 4 years and driving it daily for quite awhile on short and long trips. This car has never failed on me except for the CMC recall and a clutch replacement. The car is super comfortable with an aftermarket coilover (Ohlins). It can be tuned to be very quick, and will make you smile every time you drive it! The interior is the only thing that disappoints me. If it had leather interior, it may as well become a luxury car. Overall, I love the car.

Great all around car

The evo 10 MR is a fun but subtle car to drive. Its light ob its feet, great performance and fantastic for winter since it is all wheel drive.

LANCER IS COOL

I'm getting ready to go to college next year and I traded my Armada for this Mitsubishi . Saving gas will come in handy. Michael Fletcher was our sales Consultant and he made the transaction effortless. Highly recommend Browns Dulles Nissan.

Redo all the information on this car... seriously.

-The car cannot be 5 speed and 6 speed -The car cannot be a GSR model unless imported (Japan Only) -Only "MR" is the top of the line U.S. market version -6 speed manual trans means its automatically a MR, unless trans was taken from an MR

Best Car for the money

I recently have driven a 2007 Honda Civic Si sedan. Great little car for the money. I traded it a couple weeks ago after 4 years of no issues at all for a 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution GSR. There is no comparison this vehicle is a great performer while still maintaining decent fuel economy. Starting at $34,500 brand new with a 2.0L Turbocharged motor producing 291hp and 300lbs trq this car is an absolute monster.

Super fast racing machine

Got a used black MR 5 month ago. The car got tuned already its about 420 HP. Very fast on the road and great steering wheel reflection. It feels like she could race nearly any car on the road. I beats BMW M3, M5 and shelby GT in street drag, very close to a Nissan GTR. Its really dont spend much money on service, mostly changing the oil. Thebad about it is its gas tank is only 12 gallons . Got fills up the gas every 150 miles. And the stock tires are really noisy. All in all, a great perfomance car at a reasonable price

Evo's are the best bang for your buck

They can be as fast as a lambo and cost a 10th the price. They handle as well as a Nissan GTR and are half the price. What more is there to say?
