1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI 2.0 turbo

Summary:

Amazing car, expensive to run, but worth it!

Faults:

Oil leak from centre diff, it was the gasket between the gearbox and transfer box.

Track end rods/strut tops.

General Comments:

Very very quick car, awesome looks, but when things go wrong they are not cheap to fix.

Insurance is also astronomical, but you get what you pay for!

Fuel economy is terrible too.

1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI 2.0 turbo

Summary:

Ferrari performance for Mondeo money

Faults:

The car has been completely faultless since new.

General Comments:

I have had this car for over 3 years, and it still puts a smile on my face every time I take it out. The acceleration and grip is phenomenal and it is completely reliable.

Mitsubishi have very poor dealer network coverage in the UK, and as this car requires 4,500 mile interval servicing can prove to be a real headache.

The cars suspension is naturally very hard, and this can become uncomfortable on longer journeys.

The interior is typically bland Japanese.

1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6 GSR 2.0 turbo

Summary:

The EVO 6 should need clearance from air traffic control

Faults:

Over fuelled, shooting flames out the exhaust and burning up all my money in unused petrol. As if it isn't expensive enough (thieving Prescott, the pie munching animal).

Some people say it's supposed to be over fuelled, but I'm not sure.

General Comments:

Words don`t do this car justice, so I'll not even try.
