Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 11, 2007 12:19 pm) Don't take pre-production test cars numbers as gospel. Several magazines did 5.0 flat on the EVO X. And there's also a considerable difference in comparing all wheel drive cars with cheaper FWD or RWD cars.   There's no 300 hp AWD cars out there that can be had for less than low 30's to start.
#50 of 80 There is a review of the EVO X by iluvmysephia1 Dec 21, 2007 (7:42 pm)
in which they praise the car for several reasons. At the end of the article they list the Warranty on the car as 3 years and 36,000 miles. That is not correct. It should read 10 years and 100,000 miles.   Unless MItsubishi has suddenly reduced their Warranty on all of their cars. I don't think that is so.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Dec 21, 2007 7:42 pm) I"m pretty sure that that is the correct warranty for the Evo. The warranty (I think) is unchanged on Mitsu's other models.
#52 of 80 So Mitsu doesn't stand by it's EVO by iluvmysephia1 Dec 22, 2007 (9:48 am)
models as much as the rest of it's cars? Replies to this message: byronwalter (Dec 24, 2007 2:13 pm)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Dec 22, 2007 9:48 am) You know, for some reason... and I can't imagine what... Mitsu seems to suspect that the Evo might just get pounded on by testosterone poisoned teenagers
#54 of 80 To that I say... by iluvmysephia1 Dec 25, 2007 (12:25 pm)
whoa! The 2008 Mitsubishi EVO X would be an expensive toy for a teenager to have. That's nuts. For an adult to buy one, that makes a lot more sense, but to penalize a responsible adult for the dorky behavior of young dopes who will default on their loans, be a larger risk for Mitsubishi all around, that just doesn't seem right to me.   Oh, well. I'm not buying an EVO X, I've already got a '08 Lancer GTS, but, and it is a big 'ole butt, if I was gonna buy a EVO X I would be really irritated that I would only get a 3 year, 36,000 mile Warranty with it. Maybe it's just me, dunno. Replies to this message: byronwalter (Jan 01, 2008 12:36 pm)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Dec 25, 2007 12:25 pm) Well actually I believe that MItsu assumes that the Evo will be used harder than its more mundane offerings. As for the age of the drivers, I know two women that both have '06 MR's. One is in her late twenties and the other in her mid-fifties.. and she knew exactly what she was getting. Not your usual demographics.   But I've cruised the Evo forums a few times and many of the owners are in their early to mid-twenties.   I do like the looks of the current Lancer but I asked the local Subie dealer to look for a silver or grey STi. If he manages to find one and is willing to cut a fair deal, I'll probably spring for it. It would be my first non-Audi in ten years.
#56 of 80 Well... by iluvmysephia1 Jan 01, 2008 (1:53 pm)
I guess as long as those in the demographic know, then, no blood-no foul.   Have fun car shopping, byronwalter! Replies to this message: byronwalter (Jan 02, 2008 9:40 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jan 01, 2008 1:53 pm) Thanks... and both of those cars carry some nasty insurance rates... can't imagine why
#58 of 80 Me either... by iluvmysephia1 Jan 02, 2008 (11:05 am)
insurance for my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS is similar to the rates I paid on my '01 Kia Sportage 4X4. So can't complain about that at all!   Yeah, just looking at an EVO X gets me to thinkin' of punchin' the accelerator...I can just imagine what the 20-somethings are thinking out loud!
