2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
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.
At the 2008 Paris auto show, Mitsubishi unveiled its new five-door Lancer, which should turn heads in the U.S. market.
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.
The 2008 Subaru Outback XT is a good all-around package, combining useful cabin tech with decent performance and admirable fuel economy from its advanced engine-management system.
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG combines very impressive performance on road and track with first-rate cabin electronics, making it fun and convenient. Just make sure you budget for gas.
The Mitsubishi WD-65734's excellent feature set and highly adjustable picture help make up the difference, although its performance isn't the best among rear-projection HDTVs.
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML550 is a brawny, midsize SUV with some admirable on- and off-road performance capabilities. But its optional--and expensive--cabin technology lets it down.
2008 Volkswagen Touareg 2 V8 FSI
The 2008 Volkswagen Touareg 2 V8 costs a lot to buy and a lot to run, but, while its cabin tech sucks, it drives extraordinarily well.
Although its loose grip can make the 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe tough to handle, there is a lot of fun to be had with the car. Its cabin gadgets come close to the cutting edge of what's available today.
We were very impressed with the 2008 Land Rover LR2, which combines solid cabin gadgetry with a luxurious interior. And all this comfort rides on Land Rover's legendary off-road platform. At its price, it's a great value.
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Review
The good: The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR puts power to the road with an excellent dual clutch transmission, all-wheel-drive system, and turbo-charged four cylinder engine. It uses a hard drive-based navigation system with extra room for music storage.
The bad: Turbo-lag and poor fuel economy afflict the performance, and the price tag runs over 40 grand.
The bottom line: 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.
