2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X MR Long Term Test and Review
Edmunds just posted there long term test and reviews of the Evo X MR. Check it out here: Edmund’s Evo X MR Review. I personally think it is a bit biased.
The review covers almost all the things the Evo X MR has. What I really like about the review is that not just 1 writer reviews all parts of the car, its numerous writers cover individual parts of the Evo X MR. The review covers these aspects of the car:
- The Evo X’s gauges compared to the 08 STI and Nissan GTR (calling Evo’s Gauges the Lamest of the three).
- Evo X’s Recaro racing seats (and how uncomfortable it is to get in and out of, but how it hugs your body).
- Gas Milage (miles to tank, mpg, how shitty the mpg is overall).
- Evo X MR’s TC-SST Transmission (goods and bads. slower on streets, better & faster on track).
- Acceleration of car (more like lag the turbo has before it spools, even with a twin scroll turbo).
- Trunk Space (or should I say lack of trunk space).
- Something or another about Tacos in the Evo’s cupholder (I don’t read articles that start with a picture of a taco in its cupholder).
- Hood & Wing (busted hood in 8 days, and hidiously awesome wing).
- Brakes (how awesomely big they are)
- And overall comfort and functionality of the Evo X Mr if you were a daily driver (how its not a great car for a daily driver but definitely not the worst)
The review is quite entertaining and even though I was personaly affended (okay not really affended but some things I disagreed with) I would say its still a good read. It would be better if it was video.
