First time on these boards, hopefully not the last....

Right now I'm looking at the EVO VIII for a nice all around car....I live in WA and I love to go up to the mountains, and I want to start modding a car of my own.

The main things I need in a car is 4x4, fun to drive and can last a long time, so far I've seen Civics, RSX's and Subaru's, I don't like the Subaru's models too much and the other's don't have 4x4.

My final thing is that it nees to last a long time, and i was wondering about Mitsubishi's record on the Lancer Series in this. How much does it cost to maintain a sports car like this?

Well, I drive a 93 Evo and it still runs like a champ, havn't had any problems with it other than a few with my mods if that's any indication on how long it will last for you.

 

Which model Evo is the '93? How many miles do you have on it? Is it the same engine as the current Evo? I'm not familiar with earlier Evo's.

 

Don't compare the Lancer series of cars that makes to the Evolution. They are completely different cars... The only thing that they share are the driver and passenger door panels. That's it.
