Although a little expensive for a boy racer, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR combines impressive performance and cabin tech, making a car that is extremely fun to drive.
Though the new Lancer GTS boasts amenities not seen on other cars in its class, a powerful engine isn't one of them. But if rally-car looks, nice tech options, and a booming stereo are more your speed, this Mitsubishi is an excellent choice.
At the 2008 Paris auto show, Mitsubishi unveiled its new five-door Lancer, which should turn heads in the U.S. market.

2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
With its fantastic performance, the 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet works best as a track car or a weekend cruiser on mountain roads with the top down. Its mediocre cabin electronics reduce its comfort and convenience for everyday driving.
The 2007 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart falls short as a sport-tuned sedan, and its cabin electronics are a mixed bag. We love its efficient engine, and its stereo is fun for blasting loud rock and roll, but torque steer and a lack of refinement bring it down
The 2006 Mini Cooper S is a ton of fun to drive and makes its mark with retro exterior and interior features. Besides an excellent-sounding stereo and an untested navigation system, cabin electronics are generally left to dealer options.
The Eclipse CD3100 is a car stereo for drivers interested in fine-tuning their in-cabin acoustics. Its digital-audio playback and navigation features are intuitive and user-friendly. Its turn-by-turn navigation feature is not.
The Hummer H3 makes up for a lack of power and gadgets with serious off-road capability and a comfortable cabin.
2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Review
The good: The turbocharger and the MIVEC system on the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX's engine deliver a jaw-dropping performance, while a smart differential system gives the car amazing grip even when pushed to extremes.
The bad: The lack of a trip computer and a GPS system in the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX is noticeable even while you're having fun out in the countryside, while an acceleration dead zone before 3,500rpm can lead to unpleasant surprises in traffic.
The bottom line: The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX is a fantastically fun car to drive spiritedly and show off to friends, but the lack of in-cabin technology and sudden engine power can make it a bit tiresome in everyday driving.
