I have had my Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII for five months, and have driven over 10,000 miles in the UK and Europe. It has performed every time it has been asked, and has given me a thrill with every mile I have driven. It holds the road better than words can describe. My last car was good and I thought I loved it (a Vauxhall Astra 1.6), but this is in another class compared to the Astra. It may only be the 1.8L, but it has a class and danger, its like an escape to me as I am just over 50 years...

I have had my Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII for seven months, and have driven over 15,000miles in the UK and Europe.
It has performed every time it has been asked, and has given me a thrill on every mile I have travelled. The road holding is second to none. My last car was great (a Ford ST2200), but this is a notch up again. It may only be the 260, but it has a class and danger, only a 50 year old like me needs to feel alive....

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII is the ultimate, I want one and I don't care about the price. The Evolution VIII FQ320 is good but the FQ400 just makes you smile from ear to ear and then some. The worst part about the car is the availability, you may have all the contacts in the world but there aren't enough of these beasts on the road. Forget the fuel crisis and the tax man, get this car and live the life you deserve....

This Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII sports car leaves you grinning from ear to ear, with looks of a super model, the athletics of a sprinter but as thirsty as an ex-wife....

What a car! Don't buy a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII if you are going to worry about running costs. If you love the thrill of drivng you can't get any better for your money. Totaly practical as any everyday 4 door saloon as well....

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII is an amazing car for kicks, it does exactly what it says on the tin, feels a little flimsy compared to the bavarian brands, doesn't like being cold, good space in the cabin, boot etc, nicely finished interior compared with previous versions and Subarus. heavy on fuel when performing, Insurance is sky high ..even for 40 somethings.
Great 2nd car .. not sure you'll be that pleased with it full time once the grin has worn off...

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII is a cool car, even better than the previou evo's. it may be a few ponies slower than the WRX STI, but it is still lighter and faster....

too bad you ppl in the states have the de-tuned evo viii. guess its b'cos of all your strict emission standards.
<br>
<br>here, the evo viii have much higher bhp and torque than the sti. 280 bhp and 40kg/m3 of torque to be exact.
<br>
<br>not to mention that our evo viii comes standard with the super advanced all yaw control system!

I am 20 and own this car too. Pretty cool to hear this car can be a good fit for any age.
