1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR review from Panama
"Rally goodness in a practical package!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch life is quite short.
General comments?
Great performer. The turbo plus AWD really make this car shine.
Handles beautifully, goes exactly where you tell it to.
Bucket style seats hold you in place, while taking whatever curve comes your way.
Factory suspension settings are kind of harsh (my kidneys are really suffering), but it's a small price to pay for the level of performance you get.
Clutch life is a joke, but that's to be expected.
A rally car for the street.
