1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 5 review from UK and Ireland
"High performance BEAST"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got so excited while accelerating, I put it in 2nd gear too hard and broke the gear stick.
General comments?
I am a rally driver and my dad is the Cyprus rally champion of 1995. I have 2 evolutions one is a later model than this, which is a evolution 4 which I use for rallying and I have to say, at 4WD this cars can handle any surface at any speed on any terrain. Absolutely magical, Long live Mitsubishi.
At 280ps/6,500rpm, this car is amazingly fast and the acceleration stops your blood flow to the brain. The engine Roar turns me on, just as good as my girlfriend does!
