Faults:

Windscreen washer sprays stopped working.

It eats tyres when driven hard.

Under heavy braking, the pads fade and braking is poor.

Air-conditioning packed up.

OK, I used to own a modified Nissan Sunny/Pulsar GTi-R, that was about 280bhp, 60 appeared in under 5 seconds.

It was seriously quick. But the Evo feels so much more stable. The handling is precise and extremely responsive.

In standard form the car was a joy, and with just a new exhaust system and air filter, the car feels so much more responsive.

The Evolution V is currently £3,000 more to buy than the Evolution IV. That's why I opted for the Evolution IV.

Faults:

Absolutely Nothing.

General Comments:

The car is very very reliable. The only extra cost was a new battery after 5 years. Although is 75HP is quite fast and nervous. The net consumption is 9,5 Lt /100Km, not so big I think for a car passed his life mainly in the streets of a big city.

Handling is good with the factory tires (175/70/13) but if you change it to a lower profile (185/60/14) the car becomes more accurate.

Faults:

Only poor power, nothing else!!!

General Comments:

An excellent and reliable car with very good road safety. Also, very good terminal velocity (210 km), yes I did it!!! I must say it has an excellent air-condioner and gear box!!!

Faults:

Air conditioning hose, spark plugs.

General Comments:

I have a 97 Lancer GLXi, 1.5 liter engine, and this is the slowest car I have ever had in my life... so slow it is dangerous, attempting to accelerate onto a freeway on ramp is a nightmare, no worthy climb in speed or torque whatsoever... Mitsubishi has been clouded in scandals recently, as well as covering up customer complaints... I understand why now.

This car eats gas very badly and with no power to boot. If it was more powerful and ate a lot of gas that would be OK... but the opposite is dominant... turn the air conditioning on and expect a 25% loss in power... so for a family looking for a new family car this is not it... there is NO POWER to get you out of a bad situation, so if you love your family stay away from this car. It's so underpowered it's dangerous. Seriously.

Another thing is the cheap carpet, you'll have to wipe off the interior weekly due to all the dust produced from the cheap carpet, so all of you that suffer from allergies and stuffy noses, this will be a nightmare for you... sometimes I wonder what I am breathing in as I drive down the road...

Faults:

The clutch pad was worn out even though the car was not yet one year old. I had to change four clutch pads in a span of three years.

The floor mat always slides and it interferes with the pedals.

General Comments:

Generally, the car is good, but the problem with the clutch will have to be rectified.
