2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution consumer reviews

transmission failed at 38k miles and the company would not help at all. fixed it and sold it. Never again will I buy any mitsubishi.

Supercar performance at a bargain price. A few modifications makes this car even better (exhaust, FMIC, intake, & tune). I have driven other AWD cars but after a test drive on the EVO X, I just had to have it. But besides speed and acceleration, it is at the corners where the Evo X really shines. It takes corners like it is on rails. Reliability is solid too! I've had the Evo for 5 years now with no problems at all. However, the Evo X does have its imperfections. First and foremost. . . gas mileage. The best you can hope for is 22 - 23 mpg. My average mpg is around 19 - 20 mpg. And with a small fuel tank, I have to gas up before hitting 290 miles. Another issue is interior noise. It doesn't really bother me but it bothers my wife and friends. But this car is not for them. It is for me and I enjoy driving it everyday! I only hope Mitsubishi decides to continue with the Evolution. If not, I'll be owning a car that is fun to drive, reliable...and soon....rare.

Good color. Motor sounds good. Pretty good shape. Color is very unique. interior is in good shape. looks fast

I've driven many cars from muscle, to European imports, and many other Japanese cars, but nothing has come close to the Evo X MR Touring that I found. It is by far the most fun you can have in a car, even while staying within the speed limits. There is no way to describe the performance of this vehicle in words, it's really just something you have to experience for yourself. And ontop of all this, I have been using this car as my daily driver for years, I've modded it, abused it to the point where other cars would fall apart, and I have had no problems with it at all. The best part about it though is how comfortable and familiar it feel when you drive it on a long distance trip, because the hours go by like minutes, plus when you're in a car like an evo you tend to get to where you're going faster. Overall it is the best car I have ever driven, and everything about it is just wonderful.... except the mpg, but who cares about that when you are in such an amazing car.

Been researching on the Evo X and STi for a while and love both cars -- simply came down to personality and rarity. Took a 2010 wicked white Evo X SE for a test drive in Super-Sport Mode (I call it "Beast" mode) and a smile Xploded from ear to ear! Drove even better than what I've read. There was no way I was going home without it. :) Driving is a blast. I make an excuse to my wife just to get out so I can drive it! Plus, the 4 doors are very practical. Best looking 4-door vehicle out there that's not an M5 or Maserati. Sure, interior could be better but mine came with the Navi system so it adds a better presentation. Recaro seats are a gem and actually comfy for long distance. Bear in mind, you don't buy an Evo X for interior, you buy an Evo X for a roller coaster experience whenever you drive. It's a trade off worth taking. And yes, gas could be a lot better, but I didn't buy this car with mpg as a criteria, else I'd get a Prius. People complain about gas shouldn't buy this car because gas mpg is like a full size SUV's, but it's another worthwhile trade off. Overall, an amazing machine on four wheels with some exclusivity -- not as common as others including STi and WRX, which I see too often. SS-T is an amazing transmission. Been driving MT for past 10 years and I don't miss it. Paddle shifters give me control of gears faster than you can say "faster" and whenever I'm stuck in traffic, I can drive it in Normal automatic mode. If you've worked hard and want a slice of heaven...get an Evo X. It'll Xplode the biggest grin on your face and make you scream like a teenage girl, which you didn't know you could!

Excellent in every single way. Very fun car to drive. You can not anything else with what you pay. If you are in the market to buy a high performance car, this is the one.

I've been looking for a sports car and naturally, the EVO X was on my list. Unfortunately, the EVO MR's 44k pricetag is a major setback that puts this car in the price range of the Corvette. I bought the Corvette because the Chevy dealer gave me 4k off which actually made the Corvette cheaper than the EVO. Overall, the EVO is a good car with a rediculously high price and performance that won't match the Corvette.

The car stock is amazing but really shines with modifications and ,but interior is really cheap though.

Love the comfort when driving the car. Feels effortless going around turns and changing lanes. You do feel every bump but it doesnt bother me much. Love the shifting in the MR because there is so much traffic here i dont have to worry ever again about the clutch. One complaint about the performance is there a little lag when coming out form a stopping point but other than that i love it. I also feel some of the interior feels a little cheap (ex ac controls) for how much I paid, but i guess the performance out weights that. All in all i love the EvoX MR and i do recommend it to others.

if you wanna get from point A to point B faster regardless of the road condition, you should definitely get an Evo.
