2008 mitsubishi lancer evolution

What do you guys think of it.
some pros and cons

The more I am looking into it, the more I like it. I am really considering of buying one, I don’t know how much insurance it’s going to be.

From a performance and popularity standpoint from all the kids at KC or in Woodbridge, its an excellent choice.

I personally think its ugly and not my cup of tea. There are many other cars I would spend 40-50g's on, but that is my opinion.

4 doors and awd, so it does have some practicality. The interior doesnt look like anything special though.

Evo x is a great car. the haters would appreciate thiscar once they own or drive one. the x has nothing to prove specially to people who have only adored and driven hondas all their life. you can't compare the evo to any Honda because they would be in different classes. testdrive it and buy it if you like it, you won't be sorry.

I would rather spend the money on an evo than say, an s2k.

The evo is fast and can be driven year-round and has the practicality of 4 doors and back seats. It can easily be made much faster as well.

I like the looks too. Only issue I have is it's damn heavy. 3500lbs+

well the car i am looking has to be 4dr, and fun to drive with all the new technology, bells and whistles. i will be keeping it for next 5-6 years

this car is very practical and should be a fun 4dr car. and for those who think Mitsubishi is lots of maintenance and poor make, all those things are in the past. i believe if you do regular maintenance on the car, car will run good for years and years regardless of its make.

my dad drove his 1995 ford windstar for 10 years (1998-2009) and has 300,000+km on it and now that car started to have some transmission problems, its been running smooth for all those years.

that could also be a good thing. i wouldnt mind getting a heavier car anyways. instead of driving a go-kart you'd be floating. lol i know weight=less performance but in the end if its a daily driver you wanna drive smooth and not bounce around. but thats just my opinion.

A light car will drive nicely if it has the right suspension.
