Why do you like your Lancer or EVO..?

Discussion in 'East and Northeast Coast Owners Forum' started by Beer_Fueled_GTS, Oct 19, 2010.

  1. This is my first thread posting, I want to ask the question about what do you specifically like about your cars..

    For example, I spotted the latest body style of the Current Lancer back in 2007, the lines of the car really caught my attention.. I came really close to buying the Lancer then.. I am happy to say that I waited patiently until this past May to buy my car. The current GTS in my opinion is the nicest design.. (Don't get me wrong I think the EVO is a fantastic car, if I had the Yen then I would have.. ya know)

    The Lancer borrows styling from, Audi, Acura, and Mazda.. I take pictures of cars and I can tell you that there are few cars in this price range that looks this good. I look at the new Civic and it's a good car but it is already looking plain to me, and Toyota should just change their name to "Maytag" Other things I like about my car are the comfortable seats, the buttons on the wheel, the factory sound... anyway I could go on all day!! Please take a moment and write your thoughts about how you chose your car and what you like about it. ...

    My 03 Oz rally

    It was cheap compared to the evo. It reminded me of the evo 7 just some minor difference. It wasn't awd but I realized I could turbo it using evo parts instead of ebay turbo's. I really wanted a sunroof and that's what I got. Then it became a hinderence when it rained. I like the overall design with the exception of the rear bumper and hood. It's pretty to me yet it's a devil off road. If you ever drove a car with awd and know how to drift then off road work in this fwd car is easy as pie. Oh not to mention its one of the lightest cars I have ever driven. Which isnt exactly the good at all times like say on a bridge on a windy day.

    Overall, I like this car. There are things that need improving but all cars need some improving in their owners eyes.

    I wish it was the same around here. I see quite a bit of lancers. I see atleast 2 a day. But we still are not like honda. Everyone owns a honda.

    I <3 my ES. I don't care that it's not the fastest thing out there, I like the looks of it and the fact that it's mine.

    There have been quite a few around here lately. Mostly the same ones I always see, but there's only one other one being modded. Some Hispanic guys, which is why I've never talked to them.....

    I like how I drive one of like 3 lancers in my town. And i love the color! But most of all I love that I don't have a car payment! paid it off when I was 17, 15 months early on the loan by making double payments every month. Now I can enjoy my slow gas sipping economy car debt free :).

    My 2006 Lancer Oz Rally

    Like Sinestra said

    The styling is robust but at the same time sleek for my gen. As for the newer gen their just TOUGH!! If I had a few more G's to spend I would have defenitaly gotten one but money was short so i setelled with my 06. And its something about a Lancer thats just exotic to me. EVERY ONE AND THERE MOM HAS A DAMN HONDA OR MUSTANG.....DOnt get me wrong the SI's are sick and all my older cousins had them but to be honest once I saw The Fast and The Furious 2 I said "F**K Honda! Lancers my car" and I promised my slef I would get Lancer/Evo no matter what.

    Driving Lancers, we can't really talk shit on Hondas. Honda makes some of the best 4 cylinders ever. But not the best...that would be the 4g63 :). All opinion of course.
