The latter Evo did not cover himself with the glory during Henry’s Sparing test with the new Impreza Sti. Insufficient power, poor recoil, restless signs of the lack of exiting the mainstream framework … So the assessment was released. Is the Evo line the intended course? The same Evo X directly from the dough joined our high -speed fleet: all in brake dust, whose number is worthy of a whole industrial revolution, and with slightly more worn tires than during sending from Japan. The car was also covered with frightening warnings about the Japanese addiction to the fuel hodgers, and this will not often see this in this journal (‘Pay and enjoy’ — our usual attitude to liquid hydrocarbons, but this time we were in shock). And now I, with a credit card on ready, have the happiness of patronizing EVO for six months. I did not see the results of Henry’s test before taking the car, but I already had some preliminary opinion about him. Which, by the way, was radically different from the assessment of Henry. I sat at the wheel of Evo X during the Prodrive drive test when the car just appeared in the UK, and it seemed impeccable to me. And if you take into account that I had one of the longest and most effective power demonstrations with me, which I did not manage to spoil, this is another voice in his favor. Not a single car has yet guessed my desires so impeccably. For the first time I got behind the wheel of WX08 HHM just after several days of communication with the m3 sedan. The idea here was similar: four doors, high speed potential and a significant amount of costs (although £ 32,000 for EVO is the maximum, you can find for 20,000). BMW annoyed me with his springy stroke, a viscous, almost dead steering wheel, fighting the kidneys and thick, racks that cause claustrophobia. A great car for a drive test or track-day, but start driving it every day-and all the pleasure as a hand takes off, at least I have. Evo X is a real collapse in terms of the device of the cabin, primarily thanks to the panels and upholstery of depressive plastic doors. In addition, the panel creaks, with the exception of turns to the left, so you have to process the joints with a silicone spray. But after just a few circles, we began to get used to each other, and Evo rushed forward at incredible speed, so much as if he did not feel his own mass. I felt invincible. Presenting the FQ-300 SST class, this model has the least powerful engine from the entire EVO series, in addition, Mitsubishi has chosen a DSG gearbox with two clutch discs and unusually short gear ratio, not to mention the delayed power selection box. Perhaps brought down transmissions to the fact that the machine consumes so much by the fuel vehicle ’
Va-a computing paraging test showed 20 l/100 km, I managed to get an indicator equal to 14. 5 l/100 km with a very calm ride between two gas stations, and 28. 3 l/100 km during the track-day EVO at the training ground in Bedford. What all gasoline goes to!? Nevertheless, I like the accuracy and clarity (up to mechanical debugging) EVO control much more than the M3, the EVO salon is more common, and the working characteristics do not cause complaints. Evo behaved perfectly during the track-day, although my attempt to squeeze the declared 210 km/h by the end of a kilometer in a straight line subsequently resulted in several greased corners. Yes, I gradually get used to EVO and is already ready to protect it in case of something. Miracles work with a car, even when he is actually not yours.
