Lets be real about this review. This is a compact AWD car for around $20k. This is an all-around excellent, fun to drive car. For what you pay and what you get there is no equal. This car is easily overlooked in favor of other small foreign cars and this includes the Subaru. However, this is an amazing little car. Wonderful engine, and so far no mechanical issues at (26,000 miles). I have a 2016 ES, AWD with the 2.4 CVT. I love that the technology in the car. It's simple and in some ways old school. Controls are laid out well and easy to use. Visibility is excellent! I am a smaller person and never have an issue checking my blind spots or backing the car. The 2.4 engine delivers very nice power especially at highway speeds. If you want to be naughty and say push it over 80MPH the little engine really wakes up and can probably catch a few bigger cars off guard. I personally find the fuel-economy to be very good. If you put things into perspective and consider the following; 2.4, CVT (automatic) with A/C and AWD. Then I think 30 MPG is outstanding! I'm not sure where these other drivers get off saying the fuel-economy is so poor. I find it, in fact, to be rather good. I don't care for the CVT automatic but have never found it to be a problem. I think it holds the engine performance back too much and it never allows the engine to happily-rev to the red line, instead it allows for a leisurely stroll around the tach. I have yet to encounter any serious snow conditions but feel pretty confident it will perform well in the snow too. However, my car came with ridiculous traction B tires so be very careful in the rain with these lousy tires. Consider the Continental pure contact as an immediate replacement. Overall, I cant say enough good things about this little car. I'm very pleased with mine.

This car is one of the best cars I have ever owned. Mitsubishi did a great job reviving the older generations with a new platform, such as engine and body design. What I really love about the car is the way it handles, the stopping power, and the performance it brought. They did a great job adding a modern design inside comparing it to the older models. One of the dislikes I had was that it was missing a 6th gear, so highway cruising gets a little loud sometimes due to high rpms. This also adds to the not so great gas mileage it gets for being a 4 cylinder. The interior is modern, but at times it could look a little cheap, due to the plastic black look it comes with. Other dislikes include the clear coat on the Brembo calipers starts to fade too soon. Mitsubishi is kind of known for the cheapish paint they use, so this was no surprise. Other positive aspects that I enjoyed was the AWD drivetrain and the horsepower it puts out. It made spirited driving fun again though the mountains, valleys, and the on ramp to the freeway. Overall I am very satisfied with the car, and it still holds true to the sporty spirit that the car brand was founded on.

This is the car for you if you like fast and good street cred. People often pass me by and give me the thumbs up just for driving this car! It's great in all kinds of weather, the snow and the rain, and the tires have amazing grip. Only thing -- you'll be spending a lot on gas if your Evo happens to be turbo-charged!
