2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR - Four Seasons Update - March 2009

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Mr Front Three Quarters View

When I tried to start the car after work yesterday, it stalled as soon I stopped cranking the ignition (the engine caught, it just died almost immediately). Moreover, this morning, 32 degrees, the car had trouble starting again. This time, I cranked and cranked for several seconds, but it wouldn't start - until I gave it a little gas. Is the Evo carbureted ... ?

I still love the blazingly quick acceleration, particularly for passing, and the fantastic steering (though it's not quite as good as the old Evo's). Installing a child seat in the back was quite easy, too. It's tempting to make an alliterative "family Ferrari" comment here, but I think it's much more accurate to say that the frenetic Evo is a sportbike for the family.
