1994 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2 RS review from Australia and New Zealand
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bearings worn out in transfer case - cheap fix.
5th gear syncro worn, fan speed control resistors failed.
General comments?
In my opinion a Lancer Evolution has the best price per performance of any car on the road. Standard car 13.1 1/4 mile for the equiv of US$10,000. Cheap to run, 10 litres/100k on the open road. Reliable, has never been undriveable. Usual Mitsubishi cam belt replacement should be followed without question. Better than any WRX.
