Faults:

Not much wrong with it after 1 year with it. Since it's an Lancer Evolution X, we haven't kept it stock for more than two weeks obtaining it.

Everything has been swapped out of the turbo system except for a bigger turbo. So I can't comment on the original parts and ride since it's only 60% stock now.

Small gas tank will have you pumping gas every ~220-250 miles, which doesn't help when the gas mileage varies between 15-20 mpg too.

The interior noise is better than the previous gen Evos, but it's no BMW/Lexus in the same price range. The door slams with a tinny sound, not a secure 'thump' like those other cars.

General Comments:

The car is fast and handles power modification easily. With a few general bolt-ons with a good tune, you can get 100+ hp/tq. easily.

The car is great stock and handles excellent with great Recaro bolstered seats that will hug even small frame guys like me (5'5").

The back seat and legroom is great for average adults and huge for little kids. It'll seat 4-5 with no issue unlike many sports car/coupe.

Think of it as the poor man's Nissan GT-R.

Faults:

Sometimes doesn't start. Dealer can't figure out why.

Loud creaking noise in suspension in turns. Dealer unable to fix after 13 attempts.

Loud scraping noises in front struts under any compression, or bumps in the road.. dealer also unable to fix.

Often will not shift into reverse... sometimes will not shift into first.. especially annoying when the red light I'm stopped at turns green.

Interior panels rattle and buzz on acceleration, and if the stereo is on even quietly.

Sunroof leaks.

Service indicator intervals always goofed up, probably also dealers fault.

Oil leaking out of engine, this one just started last week...

Front seats are starting to break and make creaking noises.

I hear there have been some recalls, but I have not received any notices yet.

General Comments:

Dealer doesn't seem to be able to resolve any issues with this car.

I'm afraid the steering components of the suspension will fail and cause this car to veer off into oncoming traffic... or a building or something.

The engine and transmission are well matched and the car is fun to drive. Features for the money were pretty good... it's really too bad I've had all these problems with the car, as it really looks great and has everything I wanted with the exception of a heated steering wheel.

I would not buy another Mitsubishi after this, due to the inability or unwillingness of the dealer to resolve issues with their cars.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong... yet.

General Comments:

I love my 08 Lancer GTS. It's a hot car, it's not too big, it's not too small, it's just right for me. I've had a few Mitsubishi cars before, a 91 eclipse, a 93 3000GT and a 95 Eclipse AWD turbo and I've never been disappointed by Mitsubishi.

The Lancer has the looks and the comfort to please most. It may not be the fastest and may not have the fastest acceleration, but that isn't really important to me anymore. The car has great features, I have the sun and sound package with the navigation, the music server, bluetooth and the subwoofer in the trunk.

The car handles like a dream and has great gas mileage with the CVT automatic transmission and looks damn good too! I'm going to have this car until it has 200,000 miles on it.
