 The 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a great performer for the dollar.  But what has been invested in the drivetrain appears to have been taken away from the interior design.  The interior is spartan at best, but anything performance related has been well taken care of.  The Momo steering wheel and Recaro bucket seats are in sharp contrast to the very cheap, easily scratched plastics that make up the interior trim.  The drivetrain is wonderous, a lot of power is on tap, but the factory paint job suffers from orange peel, and the clear coat easily scratches.  Focus on the performance and you'll be grinning.  Attempt to take a relaxing cruise and you'll be gritting your teeth.  The suspension is brutally stiff, and yet there is some body lean.
