Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE Review

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution SE polarizing vehicle that a strange thing about this car, the progress made by all types of terrain on. The Evo is coming in three trim levels in all three SU with the same 291-horsepower engine 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine and AWD system.

All three come with a larger body than the base Lancer and excellent Recaro front seats. GSR offers entry-level 5-speed manual transmission and not much else. The model provides top-level MR 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox RSS, larger wheels, custom suspension, and the boy-racer body, including the giant trademark rear wing.

Our test car, the SE model slots between the two, combining the best performance pieces with the help of the MR package, including the transfer of the GSC and bodywork and the interior, and lower profile touring lip spoiler. It really is the best of both worlds in the universe Evo.

First, the engine: As you might expect, many of turbo lag, that’s fine, but when left in automatic mode (not sports), holds the ECU the engine is running much faster use than we do, making a terrible hum in the cabin. Worse, when stopped and idling, is clearly audible “flutter” noise directly into the ear canal for the driver that someone spent like grinding her stiletto in canary tones. Why the engine at 1,500 rpm idle speed, we will never know. It is not very good sounding engine, that is until about 5000 rpm and rewarded with a turbo whoosh “that lasts up to 7000 red-line file.

On the road, the Evo is a rock star. It is perfectly chosen from all corners. After an emergency stop and turn-in is the Evo happy to be back in top-end rotation and start mashing the gas too late to find AWD system when the power fails, turn so nice to have a four-wheel-drives.
