2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution:

• Power comes via a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 that produces a hearty 271 bhp at 6500 rpm and 273 lb.-ft. of torque at 3500.- Road & Track

• The Evolution's (no VIII on its badge) driving environment is workaday; its steering is quick, precise, and light, and its shifter has short, positive throws.- Motor Trend

• In quick esses on a short track, its tail hunkers down and slides nicely when reaching for the limit...- Motor Trend

• The Evo offers feline reflexes, hammerhead power, and more urbane polish than this genre of super-boosted weed whackers is known for.- Car and Driver

• Even a trip to the grocery store feels like a transit stage on a pro rally.- Automobile

What reviewers liked least about the 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution:

• The Evo understeers slightly through tight hairpins; however, on all other types of corners, it exhibits near-neutral balance.- Road & Track

• There's nothing more to the interior than a couple of racing seats bolted to the floor and a fat-rimmed steering wheel.- Automobile

Best one-liners about the 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution:

• The sports car of four-door sedans.- Automobile
