Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR - RSportsCars.com
The Lancer Evolution MR strikes the delicate balance between grace and power. Building on the Lancer Evolution's rally-proven reputation, the MR pushes the performance envelope even further with improvements to the crucial elements that make driving a true pleasure. For 2006, engine output was increased, but more power was not the top priority.
R&T : Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR (3/2004)
If you have never driven the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution - better known as an "Evo" - you really are missing something. For starters, it is perhaps the best-steering production car available in America. Throw in wonderful clutch and brake feel, smooth shifting and a very willing and responsive (if a little underpowered) turbocharged four add up to one of the most rewarding-to-drive cars in existence.
2005-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Edition Review - Modern ...
When the Lancer Evolution debuted in North America in 2003, it did something extraordinary-it lived up to the hype. Not content to rest on past achievements or awards, Mitsubishi continues to refine one of Japan's most revered - and one of the world's best-handling - competition-derived production cars. Compared to the five-speed Lancer Evolution, the new Lancer Evolution MR Edition is distinguished by the addition of an exclusive new color called Graphite Gray. Named after a carbon compound that implies lightweight and strength, Graphite Gray complements other dark color tones and reflects the Lancer Evolution's extensive use of carbon, aluminum and other high-tech materials. The color also accentuates the model's no-frill functional aesthetics.
Take This Animal Out to Run
But don't make the mistake of taking the Evolution MR or its stripped sibling, the racetrack-ready Evolution RS, into the city. Urban sojourns in cars deliberately built for speed and sharp handling are bound to be less than enjoyable. There are stop signs, red lights, pedestrians and traffic congestion aplenty. What the Evolution MR can't handle - indeed, what few low-riding, tautly suspended cars can cope with - are the potholes, ruts, ridges and otherwise grossly uneven surfaces that characterize many city streets. It doesn't really matter to them that the Evolution MR seats five people. Besides, people add weight, and weight compromises speed and handling. This is a selfish car, the motorized version of a private or personal financial account. It was not designed for everybody.
