2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers rave about the exhilarating performance and handling of the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. The standout features are its rapid acceleration, impressive cornering ability, and thrilling driving experience, often compared to much more expensive sports cars. However, some drivers noted the less refined interior quality and potentially high maintenance costs as downsides."
Excellent car. Great in snow. Blast to drive. Lots of power for a 4 cly. Always enough room to transport people in. Even if your 6ft tall. Not too bad at the gas pump. Just a 14 gallon tank. Did I mention it was a blast to drive.
February 15, 20152006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Totally worth your money Performance and precision wise is unmatched by any other car in it's level except for the Subaru Impreza WRX STi from the same year of production. Appearance wise is smart, cool and it gives you a 'race king' feeling. Interior however, it isn't as good compared to the Subaru. Mitsubishi used cheap plastic and mediocre seats compared to the Subaru's high quality interior.
December 5, 2009Turbocharged power, all wheel drive grip, four doors and comfortable seats. Doesn't get much better than this!

April 9, 2008This evo IX FQ 360 MR by HKS was the best car ive ever owned. It is well known as the best evo ever made, 0-62mph in just 3.9 secs, 0-100mph in just 9.8 secs and a top speed of 177mph GPS verified 3x by myself. Very quick and very loud. Why did i sell it??? gutted.
August 13, 2010Performance: Accelaration can you say 0-60 in less than 4.5 seconds? (On stock tune and mods), 4 caliper Brembo brakes in the front and two caliper Brembos in the rear (Need I say more?) Handling: It has won Rally championships how many times, with AWD for superb traction. Need I say more? Build quality: No problems. Appearance: See the pics of it and judge for yourself. It ain't no turd that's for sure. Street legal (For the most part) racecar with my sons car seat. You can keep your SUV. Cost of ownership: Gas mileage is not that good. Oh well. Fun factor: This car is a blast to drive. Don't believe me go test drive one.
February 18, 2010Best bang for your buck when it comes to out right performance, appearence, handeling, fun factor and even gas milage considering my car makes 400hp daily. One gripe is the "weaker" MR transmisson but everything else makes up for that. I love my Evo and I would recomend it to anyone.
October 23, 2009dont really know where to start but this car is just an amazing machine and its perfect for me. its fast top end wise and off the line shifts great ! and grabs the road like a go kart. i love it. never needed any repairs you tell me what you think about the looks gas mileage isnt bad considering it hauls and its one of the funest cars ive been in
August 20, 2009The last of the 4G63s. AWD drive beast with a turbo charged engine making 286bhp and 289 lb-ft of torque. Boost hitting 20psi at 3500 and tapering off to I believe 16 psi at redline. 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and according to a few ive time slips ive seen people have hit high 12s on a qt-mile with the car dead stock including the removal of the spare and the jack.
June 7, 2008I love everything about this car. It has head turning style, very comfortable and to top it off, you could keep up with or beat a Lamborghini at the track. Not many things keep up with an evo's performance. The car is also very reliable, I've used it for a daily driver for 3 years, and even with my aftermarket parts, I've never had an issue.
January 11, 2014Absolutely beautiful handling and acceleration. I've passed a number of $100K+ cars on the racetracks in my area in a $35k car. Absolutely the best bang for the buck money can buy in performance cars. Maintenance is expensive and required often as it has 3 differentials and an AWD drive train.
