How do they slide? Mine's got a little hook that holds it back.

Anyways, my three dislikes:
1. brake dust makes the wheels dirty quick
2. a/c isn't very cold (at least not as much as my beater)
3. crappy Mitsubishi service

Here are mine:

1-Jumpy ride.....more than i thought
2-Interior quality could be a lot better
3-Gas milage


Gas mileage?

DUUUUHH!!!


Its a AWD 270hp car

Of course it will eat gas.



**** that like saying, I dont like my v10 viper, it eats gas

4 - color matching between mirrors, doors, handles, etc on the yellow Evo - man I should have gotten Silver
5 - harsh ride for daily driver - love the power and handling, just wish the interior was a bit more comfortable
6 - shifting problems, compared to 6sp RSX the clutch and tranny are just bad, I kind of wish the Evo was a Honda

Yeah the RSX shifter is super silky. Probably the best one I have EVER FELT.


But lets remember ppl, Evo Lancer is a tuner car. It was a cheap car, they slapped a factory turbo and awd to.

But its roots are still cheap car.


Hence the notchy shifter.


But for 28k I think the paint should be better. But that is also normal for a japanese car. They always skimp on paint.

harsh daily ride? It is a sports sedan.


I think you guys are being a bit greedy. I think Sport compact car said it best.

If you want gonna go fast in luxury pay the extra 40k for the m3 ^^

Ignorant people.....they dont know what they are seeing apparently

I was driving a friends Evo tonight, and there were 4 of us in the car. Some guy in a G35 decided to do a roll from 60mph. My friend gives me the nod, so I nail it and the G35 basically walked us. Im pretty upset about this, but the severe weight penalty (and the fact he didn't pull too hard)-the sever penalty we had was enough, plus the A/C was on. All in all, we didn't get killed, but it was frustrating when he rolled his window down and gaves us a thumbs down. Real butt hole there, and its just aggravating when an import driver does that just because, well, prolly has a small dick. Oh well.

I had 5 people in my car before, and trust me, it takes a heavy hit on your power. A/C on doesn't help either.

1. No rear or center dome light making it hard to see in backseats

2. Sun visor is cheesy.

3. Poor gas mileage.

Being paranoid about something going wrong with my evo. Mostly because of my last car. You guys don't help matters much either. >=P

1. Strange wind noise from the driver side door that couldn't be fixed.

2. Lots of rock chips in the lower C pillar on the driver side between the wheel arch and the rear passenger side door.

3. Transmission/clutch buzzing noise.

4. Bubbles in the rear carbon spoiler.

Biggest dislike is/was dealing with the dealer.

I think the paint could be better but what are you going to do.

Other then that I knew what the car came with and didn’t so I can’t complain.

I just wish the interior had better quality materials and that they would have contracted someone like Infinity or Bose to make a decent audio system for the car. These are very petty though and overall I'm extremely happy with my Evo.
