Top Gear reviews the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ400. A ferocious “family saloon”. Then they proceed to pitch it against something that looks much more like a traditional sports car – a Lamborghini Murcielago.

    performance magazines and clarkson keep on saying its has a very hard ride although ride height is as normal as our ongoing proton wira…anyone care to share their experiences they have with a real deal Mitsu Evo?

    mitsu evo’s are quite hard riding. they’re performance based cars anyways, and thats they way they’re setup for. but the FQ versions have uprated suspension, so they should the ride should be even stiffer than the standard evo8 i think.

    JC commented on evo8 lack – turbo lag problem by using 5th gear.. huhuhuhu beaten by 1.6 fiat even in 1.7 miles.. ayoo turbo in fifth gear starting in low rpm, what can you expect maa.. and also what can you expect of comfort in performance clutch with the evo transmission.. performance will usually cost comfortness. want some here, lose some over there.. but for the review was ok la, the pro’s and con’s in performance car.
