2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR
Editors' rating: 4
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.
