Mitsubishi Lancer

Ferrari or Evo???

Advantages: Handling, Pulling Power
Disadvantages: Too controlled at times

Lets put this into perspective shall we . . . You can pay £120K for a new Ferrari 360 Modena and what do you get? 400BHP or so, some cheapo alloys that they claim cost a million pounds, a shoddy looking fibre bodykit, and to be fiar, a pretty nice interior and of course that itallian prancing horse that brings the italian spirit with it . . . but in this country with its weather and speed limits means little - its all a bit gay really! Or you can ...
...FQ-330 and what do you get? A car that holds the road immsensely and with ease, a 328BHP turbo charged engine, nifty sports alloys and a damn fine and aggressive looking exterior - and to be honest an interior which is comfy and considerably refined considering it is from Japan! And lets consider - in England what do you want? Italian spirit or pure throurgh bred Japanese grunt that will take you from 0-62mph .1 of a second quicker than that awfully ...

Review of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Mitsubishi Evolution

Advantages: This really is a beatiful car, with extraordinary power and is a fairly rare car, harnessing so much power into a five seater car.
Disadvantages: although this car is almost flawless, there are some minor downpoints, such as fuel consumption in some models.

The range of 'Evolution' cars from the Japanese Mitsubishi, are absolutely extraordinary cars, featuring some of the highest speeds possible from four door saloons, and with rare beauty, with newer models displaying more muscular shapes, and showing the cars real power, the latest off the production line is the Evolution X, which has deviated from the original 'Rally Style' into a sleek and sexy concept-car-like-shape. however the latest available ...
...which is by no means a dissapointment, harnessing immense power, and a 'nought-to-sixty' speed in under 4 seconds, although this car maybe associated with 'Racer-Boys' it also conceals a hidden elegance, and features some cutting edge technology with certain extra's, such as 'Batmobile-Style' satellite navigation, at the touch of a button, where you will be put through to human operators, on the in car telephone rig, and if thats not enough to sway ...

Review of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Thinking of buying an Impreza....?

Advantages: Quick pace, comfortable, easy to drive
Disadvantages: Insurance group

Quite simply, save your cash and get this absolute beast of a car. I went for a track day and drove an Impreza and an Evo 8 recently. Without doubt, the Evo was hands down the best car I have ever driven. What the Impreza doesn't deliver (which, admittedly doesn't leave much!), the Evo delivers by the ton. Whereas the Impreza is a point and click car - in that no matter where you've pointed the steering wheel, if you hit the gas, it will just go ...
...the Evo 8 in my experience, demands your respect. It demands that you know how to drive in order to get the maximum performance out of it, and when you do push it to it's limits, the reward is so much greater than the short lived fun you'll ever get out of throwing your Scoobie round country lanes. The Evo is the decerning mans choice, classy and modest, sleek and subtle, the Impreza is the boy racers choice, loud and aggressive, grunting and blazay. ...

Review of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII - FQ 330

Advantages: Rapidly quick, headturner, smart design
Disadvantages: Running costs, fuel economy, insurance !! GROUP 20 !

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 - FQ330.......... If your looking for something pretty special, which really in money terms isnt a lot compared to performance of cars in this category, its good value for money.... For the initial outlay for the car anyway. The FQ330 option, is named this due to the performance of the car. 330bhp. There was also 2 other options, the FQ300 ( with 300bhp ) and later on the Mitsubish Lancer Evolution 8 MR FQ400 ( ...
...in at approx 3.5k revs. Similar performace car would be a Subaru WRX STi ( which is also actually more expensive than the Evo ) However there seem to be a lot of Subarus, or should I say, 'Scooby Doo's' out on the road these days, so the Evo is an alternative to be that little bit different. You wont see swarms of them on a normal day, out and about, where as you will now see plenty of people driving around in a Subaru. Pros: -Almost supercar-like ...

Review of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution FQ330

Advantages: Very fast, Looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: Petrol - Overall costs to keep it on the road! Rear spoiler - cannot see a thing out of window!

I have a black Evo 8 FQ300 and it is quick! Looks cool, big enough if you have a family! Insurance isn't too bad I have mine with a well know supermarket and it is about £1000 a year (was paying £900 for civic type R) Downside is: needs servicing every 4500 miles and average service costs about £150 major service is about £400. Car prefers to be run on Super unleaded/Optimax or 100ron if you can get hold of it. Can take normal unleaded however ...
...I also suffer quite a bit with the battery going flat if it hasn't been run for a couple of days. Smooth ride, turns heads! I have also had the car de-cat and the performance is quite a bit better and the sound of the car is 110% better. If you are going to but one of these make sure you check it out fully. if you are buying 2nd hand make sure the car has all service stamps and check with garage. If buying brand new - go to the dealer then you ...
