Wrap-up The 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR is one of our favorite cars, primarily because it puts the enjoyment and the thrill back into driving. It’s the type of vehicle that will make owners seek out new roads, even if they have to muddle through hours of traffic to get there.

Anyone who enjoys (or enjoyed) driving owes it to themselves to seek out some seat time in the 2005 Mitsubishi Evolution MR. At $36,000 with turbo power and gluestick handling, it’s a relative bargain that puts the enjoyment and the thrill back into driving. The Evo MR is the type of vehicle that will make owners seek out new roads, even if they have to muddle through hours of traffic to get there. Make no mistake, white knuckles and the occasional profanity will be well worth the ride.

And that glowing endorsement leads to one final thought for executives at struggling Mitsubishi – if your engineers can do this well with one car, just imagine where Mitsubishi would be if every one of your cars shared some Evo DNA.
