Clearly that is a review for the non Evolution Lancer. The hint for me was smooth ride as Pro

"Underpowered engine, ABS and side airbags only available on LS version. "

i didn't know they made a Mitsu Lancer Evolution LS

I'd say the comment about the weak engine and ABS only being available in the LS version were bigger giveaways, but then again, I don't have an Evo8.

Claudius, they just used the Editor's Review of the basic US Lancer, which IS underpowered (120 hp). Not sure why, but they did..

Edmunds is the most half-assed review/pricing site in existence. Their used car pricing is always a minimum of 10% under NADA, and there is little if any research for their reviews.

The review for the Evo is pretty much verbatim with the Lancer LS:
What Edmunds.com Says
The Lancer is a solid vehicle, but aside from its roomy cabin and comfortable ride, there's little reason to recommend it over other more entertaining rivals.

Pros
Roomy cabin, relaxed and quiet at freeway speeds, smooth ride.

Cons
Underpowered engine, ABS and side airbags only available on LS version.
