Drivers who spend time on twisty roads or at the track are sure to lust for the 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution. Behind its sedan exterior is an engine that will work to push you into snug Recaro seats and an all-wheel-drive system that makes even mediocre drivers feel supremely skilled.
Despite adopting a more sophisticated demeanor for 2008, the Mitsubishi Evolution is a poor excuse for a daily driver, especially in MR form. The ride is harsh, the front Recaro seats confining for larger folks and the new MR’s new twin-clutch transmission is ill suited in stop-and-go traffic.
